Purpose
Make repeatable motifs for cards, labels or paper. Use the Essdee handle for carving first, then as part of the stamping tool. The baren base also provides cutter storage.
Contents and choosing
“5 + 2” contains one handle with aluminium collar, cutter styles 1 to 5, baren base and cap, stamp holder, 2 self-adhesive MasterCut stamps and instructions. “10 + 5” has the same tools with styles 1 to 10 and 5 stamps. Choose the larger set for more cutting profiles and stamp designs. Ink, ink pad, roller and paper are not included.
Carving and converting
Place a MasterCut disc in the stamp holder and carve your design. Loosen the collar without removing it fully, insert your cutter and tighten it again. Reverse letters and numbers in your design. Then assemble the stamping tool and attach the self-adhesive stamp to its base.
Making impressions
Apply suitable ink with an ink pad or use a roller for printing ink. Press the stamp evenly onto paper and make a test impression first. The small discs suit individual motifs; choose separate carving material for larger designs.
Careful use and storage
Cut away from your body and hands, keep your free hand behind the cutter and avoid excessive force. Children need supervision. Store cutters dry in the baren base and close it after use. Replace dull tips; these cutters are not intended for home sharpening.
