Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die Cutting and Embossing Arts and Craft Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking, Stickering and Journaling | 21cm Opening (A4)

I bought this die cutter as a replacement for a smaller one I already had. I love it, able to cut several dies at one time , although you do have to make sure the plates are perfectly aligned when cutting to avoid damage . Well worth the money though.

Brilliant price and machine

Since developing arthritis, burnishing a lino print is too difficult. This is a cheap, small press for printing up to A4. Plenty of different thickness plastic sheets to get the thickness correct to roll your lino between newsprint and felt. The results are very, very good.

Bought this for a great price. Really easy to use with clear instructions. Everything was packed extremely well and it was delivered very quickly. Very happy with my purchase. Update:- Sadly had to return the first one as, although embossing worked fine, the plate 'sandwich' for cutting would not go through the machine. Tested the plates on my friends Bigshot Plus and they went through just fine, so there was some kind of fault with my machine. Happy to say my replacement for the faulty one arrived the following day and works perfectly. :O)

A bit tricky at first. Now I'm used to it, I like using it.

Telle que décrite sur l'annonce. Ergonomiquement parlant, je constate une faille à cette Big Shot Plus : la hauteur des pieds ne permet pas de glisser les plateforme/plaques/adaptateurs en-dessous. Dommage car cela aurait diminué l'encombrement du matériel pendant l'usage et facilité le rangement. De même une housse plastique léger souple eut été la bienvenue afin de couvrir la machine quand elle ne sert pas. Personnellement, je travaille une matière inhabituelle : le cuir, reliefs (gaufrage/embossage) divers avant teinture et peinture. Si vous avez envie d'essayer : prenez un morceau de cuir tanné végétal naturel, rigide ou semi-rigide, épaisseur 1/1,5 mm, pré-découpez une forme d'écusson, humidifiez le, glissez le dans un classeur de gaufrage. Faites votre sandwich et passez le dans la machine. Votre morceau de cuir est prêt pour la suite : terminez le repoussage (outils cuir nécessaires), laissez sécher, teintez, + finitions peinture facultatives, protégez ce cuir et fixez le, par exemple, sur un jeans - un blouson - un sac à main - une farde - etc ... Les possibilités créatives sont vastes. Je suis très satisfaite de cet achat. Merci à Amazon UK !

Accurate description

This machine is really sturdy. It's so easy to use. I used to have a Cuttlebug and was always afraid of breaking it. I also had an electric one wich in a moment of madness I gave away. All things considered I like the Big Shot the best. The electric one was noisy and you had to wait for a full pass through, but with the Big shot if you're only doing a small item you can just reverse it out. Definitely would recommend
