Big Shot MachineA Big Shot machine can really extend your papercrafting repertoire. "I love mine! A Big Shot machine can add so much to your papercrafting. It is a manual (as opposed to electric) multi purpose die-cutting system that is quite amazing and versatile. Use it to quickly and easily die-cut or emboss shapes, envelopes, tags and even boxes. It is a great tool to have for home decor projects, card making, scrapbooking, and even sewing. It is also portable for crops and cardmaking days with your friends. What can it cut? So far, I have found my dies can cut through cardstock (sometimes I cut a couple of layers at a time), any materials from thick felt to thin dress material, chipboard, and tin such as soft drink can tin that has been cut down and flattened out. I use my rubber scissors to cut down the tins and it works beautifully. It is quite a strong tool and I have not yet found its limits. As long as the thing I am cutting is flat and thinnish, and I think it may go through the roller successfully, I will try to cut or emboss it. I have embossed cardstock, chipboard, thin cardboard, and some non-brittle plastics. It also embosses vellum well. What dies will work in it? You can use any dies from any die manufacturer in it. You can use cuttlebug dies, sizzix dies, bigz dies, sizzlets, etc. It will also take Tim Holtz dies. What about embossing folders? You can use embossing folders in this machine. It makes beautifully embossed cardstock, as shown in this series of cupcake cards. When you buy one, what do you get? When you buy a Big Shot machine from Stampin' Up!, you get two Standard Cutting Pads and a Multi Purpose Cutting Platform. All other dies and accessories are sold separately. Where can I buy one? If you live in Australia, click on the Stampin' Up! catalogue to the right and download the 2011 Ideas Book and Catalog. You will find all the details on page 150. You can contact me to order one! If you live overseas, do find a Stampin' Up! demonstrator near you and ask them about this wonderful papercraft tool.
