Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting and Embossing Arts and Craft Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking and Journaling

Product Information

Drawing, piercing, engraving, embossing, and cut-by-color are all extra features that some machines offer. If you know that all you need is a machine that cuts where you tell it to, a straightforward machine without extra features may be the most cost-effective option for you. If possible, make a dedicated space for your Big Shot so that it doesn’t become a hassle to get it out and use it.

Electronic die cutting machines automatically run your dies and materials through the machine, so you don’t need to turn a lever. You probably already know what materials you plan to cut with your machine, but you should consider other materials you may want to work with and whether the machine you select is capable of cutting those materials.

Manual and electronic models are a good option for those just getting started, and they don’t require an internet or computer connection. For cutting fabric, traditional die cutting machines tend to perform better than digital machines. Digital Most machines work with material in the range of 12 to 15 inches, though some may have smaller or larger ranges. Make sure your machine is the right size for the projects you intend to work on. In a stylish, sleek and neat white design, the Sizzix Big Shot Switch Plus fits nicely into any space, housing a small compartment for your essential craft tools as well as integrated handles for secure transportation. Perfect for beginners and experts alike, our new Big Shot Machine comes with a starter kit with 24 beautifully detailed Sizzix Thinlits Craft Dies, a 3-D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, essential Cutting Pads and a Platform - highlighting clear and simple step-by-step instructions for easy die cutting.

The “sandwich” is the combination of the platform of the machine, your chosen material and die, and the cutting mat that keeps the material and die from sliding around as they pass through the rollers. When it comes to lifespan, manual machines tend to win this race. On a well-built model, the lever and rollers are unlikely to stop working. Otherwise, the only components to worry about breaking are the dies, and those are replaceable.
