In June of 2010 Quickutz was bought out by Lifestyle Crafts. The change has been GREAT! Quickutz dies still are all about quality and design. At first Quickutz was known for there wide selection of die-cut alphabets, but have now really concentrated on providing new and innovative die-cut shapes for every type of person after the buy out. Quickutz-Lifestyle Crafts releases die cuts just about every month. So there is always something new and fresh. If you want to use a different Christmas tree diecut than last year you can bet Quickutz will come out with a selection of different ones each year! And this is the way they do it for all there shapes. Some customers even like to buy Quickutz dies just for the collection. This way you can choose what diecut shapes you want to use on each card or scrapbooking page. Maybe you want to do some Valentines cards, but want to use a different heart die-cut for each card, then this company is a great choice for dies. One last thing that I should mention about Quickutz is that with their new machine called the "Epic Six" also serves the purpose for doing letter press printing, which makes this very attractive machine to those who do wedding invitations, birthday cards, etc. The easiness of use to switch from die cutting to letterpress with inks in a matter of minutes on the same machine is incredible!

Now lets talk about the different die-cuts. Quickutz has probably one of the largest selections of different dies on the market and are priced around 4.99-12.99 for the 2x2 dies and 15.00-25.00 for the Revolution dies. Some of the dies or diecuts they offer are bugs, animals, cooking shapes, embellishments, tags, food, clothes, and much more! They also do have some die-cuts called, “Around the World” dies, which gives you all the dies from all the countries! These are very popular if your family loves to travel and need dies of different states in the U.S. or other countries for those scrapbook pages. Revolution diecut shapes also know as Quickutz grand shapes, are pretty much the same shapes as the 2x2's, but just bigger giving the crafter another option to do a larger layout. Quickutz cookie cutter dies are trimmed right to the edge of the die, which is a plus for not having to waste more paper. The cookie cutter dies come in monograms, (which are all the letters of the alphabet), nesting dies, die sets, and die-cut phrases. Also new to the Quickutz family of diecuts is the Quickutz Embossing Folders that come in 4x6 or 2x2 dies. All dies will go in the epic six. The revolution and squeeze are no longer sold.

 



QUICKUTZ DIE-CUTTING MACHINE
Quickutz offers currently one kind of die-cutting and embossing machine to appeal to all types of people and affordability. It is the Epic Six die cutting and embossing tool. If you are NOT sure about what Quickutz Die Cutting System you would like to buy read this article first and perhaps it will help you in making a decision: EPIC SIX VERSUS EPIC TWELVE. The Epic 12 has yet to be released or seen.
 


 QUICKUTZ EPIC SIX DIE-CUTTING MACHINE
The Epic Six die-cutting tool is brand new machine made by Quickutz to replace their Squeeze and Revolution.  The new Epic Six will cut and emboss ALL quickutz dies and other leading brand dies making this die-cutting machine the most universal die-cutting tool that Quickutz has ever released.  It's name comes from its large opening of being six inches wide to accommodate all your Revolution Grand Shapes diecuts. It is also very light weight and portable.  I would say that the Epic Six is very similar in design to the Provocraft Cuttlebug.  Although the main difference between the Provocraft Cuttlebug and the Quickutz Epic Six is the Epic Six was engineered to distribute the pressure more evenly on the cutting surface so you can get a more clean and even cut on your dies.  To read article or view a VIDEO about the EPIC SIX click on links below:

EPIC SIX and Letterpress Printing

Letterpress printing is a printing technique which has been in use in the West since the 15th Century, when it was used by Johannes Gutenberg to manufacture the Gutenberg Bible. Although because of the size, price and lack of accessibility to a traditional letterpress machine, this art form had vanished. We'll at least until now...This type of printing has recently seen a revival in the past few years, particularly due to the interest created by the use of letter press for wedding invitations in contemporary magazines and websites.
