Hello crafters,
We are so excited for our upcoming Craftober shows on HSN this Tuesday, October 29th! We hope that you are planning on joining us at 12am (midnight), 11am, 2pm and 5pm along with appearances in 8pm and 11pm. It's a thrilling day for us, because we are launching the brand new, beautiful Empress Elite as the Today's Special! We haven't had a new machine since 2018, so this gorgeous new body style is going to upgrade your craft room with its sleek new style and gorgeous champagne color.
Underneath, the Empress Elite is an incredible work horse of a die-cutting and embossing machine! Our new style is coming with its own swiveling turntable, a USB port and, if you purchase from HSN on 10/29, you are getting BOTH a set of regular sized and large Empress plates to use with your machine. You will be happy to hear that the plates that you already have will also work in the new model! The more the merrier!
Some of the many features and benefits include:
- The Empress Elite is perfect for a wide range of crafting needs, eliminating the need for multiple machines.
- The rotating turntable allows you to swivel machine to remove the plates; no more reaching over the machine!
- It has a user-friendly setup: simply open the box, plug in, and play! There are intuitive 3-button controls.
- You can achieve clean, professional results that enhance the overall quality of your projects, ideal for intricate designs.
- You will experience fast cutting and embossing speeds, significantly reducing crafting time without compromising quality.
- The Empress Elite works seamlessly with various materials, including cardstock, paper, stabilized fabric and many more-- expanding your creative possibilities.
- It is built to withstand frequent use; the Elite offers reliability and consistent performance over time.
There is a spectacular autoship option available with the TS on Tuesday. If you are looking for gorgeous dies to use with your machine, then you are going to love the 3 autoships we created just for you! These dies are only available through the exclusive Today's Special and with the Empress Elite; they are not sold separately.

Just got my create 10 kit today. This is my first time attending any of your classes I will be purchasing a few items, but my budget is limited. I love when new dies, papers, embellishments, cut and emboss come out. Have been shopping and buying Anna’s products for the last 13 years and always pleased. Thank you and you workers for all your beautiful and wonderful products. Can’t wait to see and meet everyone on the 8th.
I agree with what many are saying in the comments regarding the new dies for the new empress. So many of us have bought and used both the empress and empress mini that we should be able to buy the dies separately. PLEASE reconsider because the dies are so beautiful.
I’m anxiously awaiting the show at 11pm CDT. I hope I can stay awake! I bought my Empress when it launched in 2018. It has been a workhorse but it is getting a little lazy cutting in the middle. I can’t blame it though. I use it every day making scrapbook pages, participating in Create and Crop at Home and making over 900 cards a year! It deserves a restful vacation! So many beautiful products on HSN this craft day.
As always, anytime you have a new product, it is a “must have!” However, when the Empress was presented the first time, I of course bought it and have loved it ever since. I kinda feel like those of us who have been supporters of the Empress from the start are being unappreciated and “punished” because we don’t have the option of buying the new dies on auto ship because we don’t need a new Empress or can’t afford to buy one just to be able to have the new dies. I see from the comments that I am not alone in the hope that you will re-consider offering the dies as stand alone products on auto ship. I don’t understand the exclusivity of some Griffinites not wanting everyone to have your beautiful products available to all Griffinites. To me, the more beauty we have in the world, the better…. I have been a follower and supporter of all things Anna since the “git go”, and I will continue to be, but I do hope you will re-consider offering the new dies as a separate purchase.
I am looking forward to tomorrow and will actually be home to watch. I just bought the advent calendar and so want to open it up. Not sure I will be able to wait until December.
