THIS is the place where you will find all sorts of ways to use the pieces in my line in all sorts of ways. The most important thing first, education.
What is a Big Shot/Big Kick? - It is the portable die cut machine you will need to go along with all of the pieces in my line, and well, with all of the Sizzix products. There’s a reason why Sizzix calls their shape-cutting and embossing machine a Big Shot. It’s because the ever-versatile Big Shot (which is the same as a Big Kick) works with the entire Sizzix product library (with the exception of Bigz Pro dies) and that includes their smallest dies to their big 6" wide plastic-backed treasures and embossing tools. If that wasn’t big enough, this portable roller machine cuts and embosses many different materials. Create your own one-of-a-kind cards, invitations, scrapbook pages, home décor, fashion, altered art, quilting and much more! Click here to see a video by Sizzix on how it works.
What is a BigZ/Original Steel Ruled Die? - These big dies cut almost anything including cardstock, felt, fabric, foam, magnet, leather, craft aluminum and many other materials.
What is a Textured Impression Embossing Folder? Textured Impressions Embossing Folders offer the deepest and boldest embossing experience. You can turn ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, vellum or leather into an embossed, textured masterpiece. The large folder also fits the exact dimensions of an A2 or A6 card, while the small, medium or border sizes create amazing embellishments. The new 6" x 6" size is great for making card or album covers.
What Is A Thinlit? Thinlits create dazzling detailed shapes for more creative cardmaking and papercrafting projects. These wafer-thin chemical-etched die sets are designed to cut a single sheet of cardstock, paper, metallic foil or vellum. Use them for enhanced intricacy and to add a special touch of inspiration to all your projects.
What is a Framelit? It is the same as a Thinlet BUT the designs come with a coordinating stamp for the most precise cuts around your stamped or embossed images. Framelits Dies are compatible with Big Shot, BIGkick and Vagabond Machines with the machine’s included platform; when using the Essentials Platform or Solo Platform & Shim, the Extended Adapter or Solo Adapter is required.
