Hello Maroulita

Gosh there are so many great machines about, but for a professional use which cuts and embosses the image {which I think would look great for the invitations, I would say to take a look at the Wizard machine.
Its completely made from metal and is nothing short of a workhorse, I would also recommend watching the videos that they produce too for using this machine for the maximum benefit.
I don’t have this machine myself, because I rarely use die cuts, but I have used it on numerous occasions and it really is woth the money.

Here are a few links

Hope these help

I recommend that you study the copyright/commercial use policies of the manufacturers before you make your decision. Some of them can be very restrictive (e.g. the Provocraft policy). A bit of research is better than getting caught out later.

You are absolutely right.

That’s the problem with a machine that uses commercial dies.  You might be better with something that lets you design your own, like the Craft Robo.  More of a learning curve but once you’ve got the hang of it you can make whatever you like with no copyright issues.  I made this card last year for my Father in Law (who used to work for this bus company) on the Craft Robo, based on a photo of a model.
