Ellison SuperStar Die Cut Machine
This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.
Unfortunately our awesome giveaway from Ellison Education has ended long ago but don’t let that deter you! I absolutely LOVE my SuperStar die machine because it’s portable, sturdy, and an affordable alternative to other fancy die cut machines. It is a fantastic choice for teachers not only because of the reasonable price but also because it’s a great item that students can help you use in the classroom!
Plus you can use it to cut everything from paper to felt, fabric and even sandpaper! I use it for everything from school stuff, kids activities and crafts and scrapbooking! It’s a no fuss system that requires no maintenance and has a TON of die choices! I’ve been working with Ellison that past year and a half or so and am so thankful for the opportunity to have fun creating activities and lessons using their products!
Below you can check out some of the awesome projects I and other bloggers have been creating with this machine!
Fall Leaf Wreath Paper Plate Craft
Pirate Map Classroom Incentive
School themed Reading Bookmarks
4 Seasons Apple Tree
Around the GLOBE Geography Game
Zoo Animal Masks
Peek a Boo Organs
Solar System Sensory Flashcards
Find Ellison on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram & YouTube!

Super cool! Seems like it would be much easier than a Cricut.

I would love seasonal dies to correlate with my themes. Various animal and plant dies would be great too. I always loved using the old fashion wooden die cut machines to make my classroom more child friendly.
Love the monsters diecuts! I also love your tips on back to school sales…they were a total lifesaver for me this year!

This would be so amazing for my bulletin boards. The one we have at school is falling apart. Plus I crafts we could do it first grade with this. It excites me. I could also use it for my little nugget and we could make presents for the grandparents. So many Ideas.
This would be a great tool to use with my students!
As an art teacher this would be awesome addition for my classroom
I would love to win this! I’m a new teacher & it would be great to have! I would probably choose the panda, the set of 4 badges, & seahorse!!!
I am drooling! !!!!! What wouldn’t I do with this gem? Basic shapes to incorporate into anything. Patriotic for themed unit bulletin board. Almost anything on lesson appropriate anchor chart (I can’t draw well).
My daughter is a first year teacher and is trying to collect items like this so she will have all the resources she needs at her disposal, and this would be awesome.
Would love to donate this to the school I work in! They need new die cuts!
We really need this at our school. Our district is big so our “teacher lab” is 45 mins away from our school and we hardly have time to travel over and get things done. We need it to start decorating for winter graduation. We work for Alternative Education where students have their last chance to graduate because they have been incarcerated or expelled from their schools. They deserve a second chance.
It’s always great to get holiday dies for bulletin boards!
This would be perfect for my Kindergarten classroom. I would love the holiday die cuts and the alphabet.

It would be tough to choose, but I think I might go with an alphabet. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to have some of the animals such as the whale and sea turtle.
I would love this. Have been trying hard to save my pennies each year to add one of these to our school resources. The last two schools that I was at had them…..they are the best!! Someone out there is going to be very happy to receive this.
Would love to have this for working with my preschoolers. All the basic shapes would help with simple art projects!
I’d love to win one and just to have basic dies– shapes, trees,& etc — no White House stuff
I would love having dies to make awesome bookmarks and awards to keep my kids reading! I would use the alphabet set of dies, the bus, the pencil, the book, the sports balls…the list is endless! My kids would love them.
I would use them all. If I had to pick one, I would definitely get the bookmarks. I just got my students to buy into reading, and they love using bookmarks.
I could do so much with this! Not only am I a teacher, I also love to craft & have a side business making custom birthday banners and decor that I’m trying to get off the ground.
I would get the 3-D Barn, cow, cat, dog, pig and rabbit set. It would be great as an Ag teacher to be able to have plenty of die cuts of animals that we frequently study.
I’d love to make bookmarks for my kids. I’m an elementary school librarian. I’d like to add other cuts to the collection to help kids find what they are looking for.
I would love one to help me decorate my bulletin board!
I would love the holiday ones. Really anything would be awesome for teaching my toddler! 🙂
i am a Principal at a private non profit school that has infants through 6th grade. We cater to working parents/guardians. We do not have a die cut machine and my teachers would flip out if we won one! We would use the alphabet and I would love the simple machines cut outs. I see lots of uses to make learning fun!
This would be an excellent resource at our school!
I’d love the pumpkin, snowflake and teacher must have!
I love Ellison! It would be wonderful to win a machine to help make my library fun and inviting!

Love this! I would get the owl and the puzzle pieces die cuts, anything book and technology related, and perhaps an updated alphabet set in a modern font! Mrsthakkar2014 -at- gmail.com
I would be glad to have any of the choices. But I could see the gift boxes, gingerbread man and happy faces come in handy.
Choosing a favorite die would be like choosing only one classroom library book to share with your students – nearly impossible! They are all fantastic and useful in the right situation. This is a great giveaway. Good luck, everyone!
I would love to stock up on holiday ones. This would help so much in the classroom.
I would love to have one of these to use in my classroom. I would definitely like the basic shapes for patterning but also love all the holiday diecuts!
I would love this! Would start with alphabet, then star, leaf, heart shapes!
