Making Memories Slice

Now anyone who is into scrapbooking, especially with embellishments, would be very familiar with the company Making Memories. They also make a wonderfully extensive range of some amazing scrapbooking tools like the tag maker, eyelet setter, stamping die sets and much more.

But the question here is, with the massive competition in the market from the two big brands of Die Cutting Machines... the Cricut and the Sizzix, can Making Memories make a Die Cutting Machine that is comparable with these two big brand names?

Making Memories entrance into the Die Cutting Machine market, has only come recently with its Making Memories SLICE machine.  The SLICE retails for around US$150.00, so it is half the price of the Cricut, but slightly more expensive than the Sizzix.

The SLICE is marketed as the first die cutting machine that doesn't need a power cord. So it is really competing with the Cricut as an electronic die cutter and not competing with the Sizzix range of manual cutters. Imagine being able to take it anywhere and show off what it does, without having to plug it in! It has similar features to the other electronic die cutters like being able to plug in cartridges and cutting shapes and letters at varying sizes.

It does however try to do something the Cricut Personal machine doesn' t and that is to cut slightly thicker types of material. The Cricut can only cut cardstock, the Sizzix cuts pretty much anything, and the SLICE will cut up to 0.5mm thick.

Given that the SLICE is competiting with the Cricut and other electronic cutters, it is very well priced. It also takes up a lot less room than the other electronic cutters.

One of the SLICE's disadvantages though over the Cricut, is that you have to hold the card while it is cutting. This makes it a little time consuming, compared to the Cricut which you can set and forget.
