Die-Cut Machine as a Printing Press Tutorial // Frugal Friday

Today I'll show you how to use your manual die-cut matching as a mini printing press. This is an affordable way to make prints. Many crafters have one of these machines already but if you don't here is some info about them:
Home die-cut machines are much cheaper than printing presses and come in 6" wide models like the Big shot machine I have here: https://amzn.to/3sVPOgS and it is also available in a 9" wide version: https://amzn.to/3pPh8LE and an industrial model with a 13" wide opening: https://amzn.to/3hSIkVA

If you don't have a die-cut machine you can use a plastic spoon to rub the back of the paper.

Other supplies:
Thick smooth paper

paint brush
water
rag
plexiglass to be used as a printing plate
scrap cardstock for shimming
