Cards made w/electronic cutter vs. dies & stamps?

I’ve been asked to teach a card class. It started with someone wanting to borrow a Cricut for a craft night, so that those who didn’t sign up for either of the main craft projects could make a card with the Cricut. They had no idea how a Cricut even works, and it morphed into my doing an actual card class. I talked them out of a Cricut on site, because there would be people waiting doing nothing while the machine cut. While I use my electronic cutter for card making, I don’t think I have ever made a card that was done exclusively with it. I’m wondering if I should show one, so they can see the difference between cards made exclusively by machine vs. with stamps, dies, etc. We’ll be making 3 cards, and I have prepared the kits ahead of time. If I show a card made just with the electronic cutter, it would be more of a visual thing, rather than me making a 4th card kit. I just think that cards made solely with an electronic cutter are……okay, but not amazing. You can dress them up with stamped images and other stuff, but without the extra fun stuff, most are not that impressive.

Opinions?

And if you think I should also make a card made exclusively with an electronic cutter, can you please show me an image or add a link to one you think is really nice? Thanks!
