Big Shot Die Cutting and Embossing Arts and Craft Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking and Journaling, 14 1/4" x 12 3/8" x 6 5/8"

Brilliant

I've had a Gemini mini for five years and am so pleased to have upgraded to Sizzix Big Shot. Amazing quality, not to heavy but produces crisp die cuts and embossing.

I have the Big Shot Pro and absolutely love this machine. I bought this smaller version so I can take it with me as the PRO is very big and heavy. I also wanted to have this one to cut the smaller dies and I can put on my crafting table beside me. Like the PRO this is a very well built machine; it is solid and very sturdy when you are turning the handle. It cuts dies with ease; you may have to run some of the more intricate dies through more than once and this also helps to bring out the embossed detail more. I also find that by using the smaller plates and putting more than one die on at a time; it helps with keeping your plates straighter. A great versatile machine and I would highly recommend this machine to all crafters especially those who are just starting out crafting; you literally take it out of the box; attach the handle and away you go. The multipurpose platform has instructions on what sandwich to use for the various dies; thin dies; bigz dies etc and also what sandwich to use for embossing. Very easy and simple to use.

Great little machine.used ti gave a big one but it took up too much room.this 1 big enough for quilting dies.

This is a lovely little machine if, like me, you just dabble in card making or crafting. This is my second machine and the first one, which had lasted me 10 years, was still working when I handed it on to a ‘beginner’. I have arthritic thumbs and was actually looking at electric machines but some of the reviews put me off (and the price). This isn’t cheap but if it sees me through the next 10 years, I’ll be thrilled. This model is much tidier than the first one and it certainly does the job.

I'm on around my fifth Big Shot. I use mine almost daily, so I do eventually work them to death! But I always buy another one. The Big Shot is a real work horse, strong and sturdy and also very easy to use. I have an eBosser for my larger dies (rarely used) but I just love my Big Shot.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this!Excellent addition to my crafting room. I can use it for numerous types of crafts and for many purposes. I initially bought it to make cut out large felt shapes for Christmas garlands but am now using it on shrink plastic to make jewelry and accessories.It is very easy to use! All you need to do when you take it out of the box is attach the handle! And then you're ready to cut!This price is very VERY good as the US Amazon charges nearly twice the price for the same thing! They retail for well over $100(£80) in shops here in Ireland and the UK. If you're a crafter, it's the best £50 you'll ever spend!Note: This item is for the die cut machine only, the thinlits die cuts in my review photo were a separate purchase. They do not come with this item. I posted them to show what the Big Shot machine can do.

This is a Sizzix Big Shot machine to replace the one I have had and used frequently for many years. Very happy with my new purchase.

I absolutely love my Sizzix Big Shot. It's easy to use, reliable, and has become my go-to machine for card making and other paper crafts.I also own a Cricut, but if I just need to emboss something, cut a few shapes or complete a quick project, I almost always reach for my Big Shot. It's so much faster than getting out the Cricut, setting everything up, and opening the software. Sometimes simple is just better.The only thing I'd love to see improved is the storage design. I wish it folded up like the Stampin' Up! version because it does take up a fair amount of space. My craft room is already pretty crowded, so a more compact storage option would be a huge plus.Even with that minor drawback, it's one of my favorite crafting tools and one I reach for again and again. If you enjoy card making, scrapbooking, or other paper crafts, I highly recommend it.

Good 👍👍

J ai hésité, me demandant si cette petite machine allait pouvoir m'aider à réaliser mes projets.Après avoir acheté matrices et pochoirs : embossage et découpe fonctionnent à merveille. Il faut prévoir un carton mince (comme les enveloppes Amazon) pour obtenir la hauteur voulue lors de l'utilisation avec des pochoirs un peu minces. A vir si d

Es la típica máquina que toda scrapera quiere tener. Aunque ya tenía una Silhouette, nunca he dejado de desear la Big Shot y aproveché una super oferta para comprarla. No me arrepiento, es el complemento ideal.Aunque ya tenía una Texture Boutique con la que hacer emboss y troquelar (con apaños), la Big Shot le da mil vueltas, no hay punto de comparación. Aunque, en teoría, las dos deben hacer el embossing igual, no hay color, en la Big Shot queda muchísimo más marcado y uniforme. En general, es una máquina muy versátil y actualmente hay muchos troqueles a precios económicos para poder sacarle todo el partido.
