I have been using the original for years and love it. So much faster than messing around with multiple plates, shims, rubber mats, etc. And it cuts great. The plastic folders warp but can be used for years without having to be replaced unlike the hard plastic plates used by others. Can't wait to get the Marquise.
Have heard of Diamond Press. I have the smaller machine and it cuts smaller single dies great. They have cute themed stamps too. This machine is a nice size for working with A2 sized material. The bundle is great. Thanks for the review and the opportunity.
I love mine. It's so easy to use and very light weight. Wouldn't mind winning one so I'll have 2. One for me and my granddaughter who is 8 to use when we craft together. It would be so easy for her to do the die cuts and embossing folders too. Thank you so much for the video. Very informative.
Thanks for the chance to win. I have the smaller diamond press but really like this size. I love the ease of it and that you don’t have to figure out which plates to use.
Hello Jess- Nice to meet you on you tube! I have been a fan of Diamond Press since the first day it came to market on HSN. I think that Diamond Press has some o& the best Dies I have ever used! The smaller Diamond Press works great. I am looking forward to receiving my Marquise as soon as it ships. To me Diamond Press is an amazing product & I enjoy using it very much! Thank you for sharing. 👏👏
Nice little machine. I don't have much counter space in my craft room so this would work well. I have never heard of Diamond press before and I have been around for awhile!! lol Thanks for sharing with us!
I have had the small one, for about 4 years the machine works great and the folders keep working great even once they get really warped. There products are great.
The Marquise looks like a winner with its larger format. I have the original Diamond Press. It is really handy and cuts like a dream. The quality of Diamond Press dies and stamps just keep getting better and better. The folders do warp after heavy use but somehow they keep working. The nice feature about the additional die sets is that they always include at least one new folder or you can buy a pack of replacement folders on HSN or the Diamond Press website. I have found that almost any die that will fit the size of the folder will cut. I have had a few dies that were a tiny bit thicker (multi-media dies? maybe) that I couldn’t get to crank through my little Diamond Press. I would love to win this machine.
Hi. I had the original diamond press machine when it first launched on hsn and loved it til the handle broke trying to force a warped folder thru it. I've since picked up a couple more. I have one working machine now and am quite excited to give this larger one a try. I have many collections of diamond press stamps and dies. The dies also work well in many other cutting machines - both manual and electronic. Thanks for sharing your review. Happy Easter!!
Wow, never heard about the diamond press. It looks great, it is bigger than the gemini mini that also uses folders, but easy for quick cutting. Thank you for reviewing and doing a giveaway.
My small Diamond Press is about a year old, and I love it! It is so handy for a quick cut, and the sizes of the cuts work great for placement in my planner and on cards.
Diamond press is new to me, I've never seen it or used it before, it would be great to win one. I'll definitely have to watch HSN on the 14th. Thanks for the review.
I would really love this!! I have the original and its awesome for quik small dies in big projects , makes the cutting go faster and you NEVER have a bad cut!!!
Diamond Press makes quality items and has great customer service! I have the original, I purchased on HSN in 2017. It still works great. Super smooth and easy to turn the handle. The Diamond Press dies are well made and cut nicely. I have not had any problems with other dies like the intricate & sturdy dies from Anna Griffin. My folders for die cutting have been well “loved” (scratched and bent) but they still work great and last a long time. This new Marquise machine will be even more fun with the bigger opening! Can't wait to get one...
I love Diamond Press products! I have the smaller version and love that it is compact and takes up little space (no need for cutting plates) 😊! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you for your video. I received my Marquise yesterday and tried it out today. I have had my original machine for about a year. I also own a full size Gemini and a Big Shot, etc. I tried several die cuts and the 2 embossing folders today. I found that all the tags I cut with a Tim Holtz die warped terribly. A Gemini die cut OK and the dies from Diamond Press did OK. All the embossing pieces I did warped and in some cases almost tore the paper. I have an array of paper from craft store card stock to Crafter's Companion and they all warped. I will try the suggestion of putting the folder in in the opposite direction as someone noted. I really hope running the folders in backwards helps because I may send the machine back to HSN. None of my other die cutting/embossing machines warp my die cuts and embossing work this much.
Thank you. I just bought mine through HSN. ITS BEEN OVER 10 yrs. since I’ve been into scrapbooking but I really want to use for cards. I’m really “RUSTY” so you helped me a lot. Couldn’t find any reviews on the web!?... also thank you for explaining the tool I got as well. I feel a little more assured that this is a good machine but the slot is very small so you can’t make 8x10 cards. Or I just can’t figure it out yet. Thanks again! J plz. Continue or maybe do one for Beginners?!..
Enter Me. Enjoyed the video I have the original and it's a little workhorse. The folders continue to provide a great cut even after getting warped. They can be flipped around and they are good to go. The markers are great for coloring directly on the stamps. Diamond Press is an awesome product and company.
That is a really nice machine. The price is great. This would be my first diamond press and from what I see, it would be a great addition to my craft room.
I really love my dpi die cutting machine. I have been looking at the others that are coming out but waited because I wasn’t sure any of them would be as good as my original dp machine. I am so happy to see this machine and I can hardly wait to get one.
Thank you for this video. I have some of the DP dies and stamps, love them. Do not have the original DP machine, didn't get it because it was so small, but I'm looking forward to this new, simple machine. Thank you for this opportunity. Enjoy your weekend!
I like that they made the opening larger. I was also skeptical about the little plastic folders, will be interesting to see how they hold up! Love the blue one!
This looks so cool. I have never used a cutting tool like this. I think this would be great to use not only for myself, but with my class of third and fourth graders.
Hi Jess, super cute die cut machine bundle. I've never heard of this machine before but I love the look of it and how it uses a folder for cutting instead of plates. Thank you for your review of this product. 😊
Thanks so much for this thorough review, I've heard of Diamond Press but never tried the original machine. This looks like a great option, and I'd love it as my first die cutting machine. Thanks for the chance.
15 April. Just amazing a little jewel. I always prefer to buy my own than being disappointed in a giveaway draw. It's very cute and light in weight. The results are unbelievable. Less than $60 wow🥰. So glad you showed the "disadvantage" with the large size folder. I already have my beautiful SPELLBOUND and my HUMBLE CUTTLEBUG both were purchased the second it was available. Thanks for sharing and caring. Congrats to the lucky Winner. 🥂💐💐💐🥂
I have not heard of the diamond press before. Very interesting. Does it work with other dies that don’t come from diamond? Thanks for sharing this. Always cool to see what’s new.
I have the original oval diamond press and use it extensively for all my small dies, cannnot wait for the marquis, would love to win it thank you maaureen mikkibabe@aol.com
I have to have one of these! Been using the old sidekick but often frustrated because it’s too small for most of my cutting needs. I like that it fits a full size card! And, by the way, nice video!
Looks like a perfect size! I love that it fits the A2 base. I was looking at the original smaller version a couple weeks ago but felt it was just to small. Thank for sharing this information!
I have heard of DP but the other one was too small for my liking. The size of this one (folders/opening) that it only has a folder and not multiple plates as well as how smooth and quiet it is, are all very intriguing to me. I’m super excited to get one and try it out. Thank you for the give away. 😉
Thanks for the video! Just received mine from HSN. This is my first die cutting machine and love it. From my research this is a great machine for the price point and also seems to be a great size opening as some of the smaller machines of course have a smaller opening.
Love that they have 3 colors. That purple one would look really nice in my craft room. I do have the Diamond Press holiday set and embossing folders but not the original machine as it always sold out on HSN. Love your review. The tool set has my interest too. :)
It looks like a very handy size to pack up and take on the go, or for using at home! Thanks for the review! I have heard of Diamond Press before but haven't tried their products.
I love the idea of this. This would be my very first die cut machine. I am brand new to card making. I am not a seasoned crafter. My main concern is, are there replacement "blank" folders from other brands that will fit this? Not fancy embossed folders but just plain ones. I have looked already for them and they seem hard to find. Thanks!
You can get them directly from Diamond Press. ❤️ Here’s a link to the basic size: mydiamondpress.com/shop/ols/products/marquise-blank-folder-refill-10-pack
This looks very portable and shouldn’t take up much space on the work table. I only make A2 cards and can’t believe there is now a die machine just for that. Thank you for the review. I look forward to seeing the different dies that will be available.

I was curious about this machine, I am really starting to love the Diamond press products. I'm still not sure if I will purchase or not, but, your review has definitely made me take a closer look, so I really Thank you!
Was almost ready to get the original smaller one, but waiting for this one instead...looks to be much more versatile. Loved the video and would love to win one of these!
I have never heard of this cute little powerful machine and would love to get one for my next die cutting machine. My machine is so old it hardly cuts anymore 😥
Hi Jess! I absolutely love videos like this when you get a better understanding of what a product can do! So great job! I would love to win one and try it out myself. I hope you are staying safe and happy Easter! ❤
