Hey girl hey, thank you for turning me on to Sizzex!!!!!!!!! I am having so much fun! I watch you all the time with planning, now with this! Thank you soo much!
I know this is an old video of yours but I appreciate it so much. I just got a used BigShot and yours is the first video that actually showed me how to use it correctly. SO helpful. Thank you.
This is the first video on how to use the Big Shot I have really understood! Thank you for your help! I just got my very first big shot yesterday and need help getting started! I have ONE die lol....I just subscribed too!
Thank you so much! The best video explaining the process that I’ve seen. You made sense of the instructions straight away and demonstrated every step clearly..... such a wonderful help!
There's little holes in the dies. You use a pokey tool or a pin to stick through the hole to get the paper out of the die. Be careful not to force it through. I usually use a pin, because I can't find my pokey tool. The sticky side of your tool is mostly to pick up beads or to pick up small pieces of paper to glue or something. But I really enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you.
Unfortunately Stacey, I don't remember, but you may be able to check my haul videos prior to this video to find it. I vaguely remember they were on clearance or maybe they were from Tuesday Morning. I'm not sure. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video! I make Junk Journal videos and just got a Big Shot for Christmas. I’m so excited to use it and I think your video is one of the most helpful 💕
Thank you for your tutorial; great job. Very nice and easy to understand. I appreciate it very much. Just what I was looking for. Helped me a lot! Happy New Year! 🎊🎆
Im thinking of getting the bigshot foldaway. Could you tell me which brands are compatible or if most are compatible? I found some dies that are not thinlets. What do you think? I’m new to cardmaking. Help! Thanks, Jackie
@@scrapcraftastic Thank you so much for your reply. That helps a whole lot! I cant wait to shop for some pretty dies! I’m excited but nervous. I want to make sure i make smart purchases as a newcomer to card making. Thanks so much again! Jackie
Do you mean one the same color as the one in the video? If so, I don't know. Mine was a gift several years ago. If you mean another color try scrapbook.com or Amazon. Thank you for watching!
The side of the die with raised areas is the side that will cut. You can sandwich either way I think, but I usually put paper then my doe on top with the raised side down.
If the dies you use are dimensional then yes but you would have to layer them manually. The Bigshot can only cut from what ever die you rin through it. So it depends on the dies.
Hi ,I have just bought a mixed media die from crafters companion ,I have a Sizzex big shot .Can u help ,,which one of the tabs on the machine to cut with this die,ran it through on paper on the green tab and thought I had broken my plate
If its a thin die, use the platform closed with both of the clear plates. Sandwich your paper and die between the two clear plates. It will sound like something is breaking. In the video there is a loud cracking noise when I run the die through. As long as you setup like the example shown on the platform if you have the example, it should be fine.
The die is the blade. It's what cuts the paper. The machine and platforms are what apply pressure to the die which causes the die to cut the paper. Thanks for watching!
It's amazing how many dies I've seen on sale and clearanced even. As well as the Big Shot, but wouldn't purchase it. However, as I'm watching your video, I'm seeing how much money I can save from never having to purchase die cuts again! This thing pays for itself
A Silhoutte Cameo is a digital die cutting machime. You can design your own shapes and graphics on a computer and use the machine to cut whatever you create out of cardstock, scrapbook paper, vinyl, etc. You can make all sorts of things including stickers, stencils, templates and more. Cricut is another brand and there are others as well. Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for your very helpful video! I just got a Big Shot yesterday and now feel a little more confident about using it. Looking forward to making lots of die cuts to use in my projects! TFS!
Hi, thanks for sharing. I always see videos of the cuts but never the machines in action. I just may get me one. I have a cricut and I thought the same,... why get one if I already have a cutting machine. It just look more convenient to have a portable cutter.
This vid was the deciding factor on whether I get a machine. I'm not too artsy or into scrapbooking so it's all "Greek" to me. I do, however, send cards to military & seniors and want to start making my own..You showed that this thing isn't something to be afraid of and that it's pretty easy to use. Thank you!
Thanks for the demonstration. I’m watching and learning from your videos. 🎉 new friend here
Welcome! Thank you for watching!

You're welcome! Yes, i just knew I broke mine the first time I used it! Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you! I was worried I was doing it wrong as well! *the other videos I looked at by Sizzix don’t mention it.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Great demo video! I am new to using the big shot!..I did not even know about the big cutting dies!

Thank you so much for the vlog. I had no clue what to do with the dies that came with my rubber stamps. Thanks again! 😀👍🏽
+Leslie Barney You're very welcome. I am happy to help. Thank you for watching! 😀
Where did you find the bigger dream die and the other big one next to it from??? Been looking and haven't had any luck please help!!😁🤞♥️
Unfortunately Stacey, I don't remember, but you may be able to check my haul videos prior to this video to find it. I vaguely remember they were on clearance or maybe they were from Tuesday Morning. I'm not sure. Thank you for watching!
Can you also show the embossing?
+AngieMo43 yes, I will.😊

Can u reccoment or send a link about how to use a Double Do XL die cutting machine PLEASE
What is the machine name?
Im thinking of getting the bigshot foldaway. Could you tell me which brands are compatible or if most are compatible? I found some dies that are not thinlets. What do you think? I’m new to cardmaking. Help! Thanks, Jackie
I think most metal dies are universal. I've never had a die that doesn't work for me. I hope this helps.
@@scrapcraftastic Thank you so much for your reply. That helps a whole lot! I cant wait to shop for some pretty dies! I’m excited but nervous. I want to make sure i make smart purchases as a newcomer to card making. Thanks so much again! Jackie

Where can I find me the new blue sizzix big shot
Do you mean one the same color as the one in the video? If so, I don't know. Mine was a gift several years ago. If you mean another color try scrapbook.com or Amazon. Thank you for watching!
Hi. How can u tell the cut side please. I just recieved this machine
The side of the die with raised areas is the side that will cut. You can sandwich either way I think, but I usually put paper then my doe on top with the raised side down.
so I have the cricut maker but seems like some of the dies give a raised or layered or 3d effect that you do not get with the cricut?
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Cricut Maker to answer what I think you are asking.
@@scrapcraftastic ok does the sizzix big shot give cardstock a 3d effect?
If the dies you use are dimensional then yes but you would have to layer them manually. The Bigshot can only cut from what ever die you rin through it. So it depends on the dies.
Hello, I was wondering is your black mold about 1 inch or 1/2 inch thick? Thank you!
Its about 1" thick.
@@scrapcraftastic Thank you!
You're welcome!

thank you for the straight forward instructions, much appreciated :)

Can U use the big shot on glitter card stock
Yes. I cut snowflakes out of glittered cardstock with mine.
Thank you I have been wondering how that works!
+Shelly Foss you're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😀
Would love to see how to embossing
Thank you for watching!
Also meant to ask: Is that Big shot the 6" or 9" wide feeding port?
6"
@@scrapcraftastic Thank you!
Love it! Thx so much!
Thank you for watching!
Where can the tool be purchased?
You can get it here amzn.to/3fWMZTQ. I also think Scrapbook.com should have it as well as Joann.
do you have to change the blade? or is a there a blade attached to the machine? thanks
The die is the blade. It's what cuts the paper. The machine and platforms are what apply pressure to the die which causes the die to cut the paper. Thanks for watching!
hi dear . was wondering..I didn't get platform with my sizzix big shot white and grey . so you think I should buy this platform?
+Sehlla Malick if the grey and white works the same way you will need a platform for thin dies and embossing.
Scrapcraftastic thankyou 😊
+Sehlla Malick you're welcome.
Can you cut fabric with the Big Dream die ?
Robyn, I'm not sure that the thin dies would cut fabric. Maybe with a different platform. I don't know.
I would love to see the embossing when you get a chance 💕
+Monique - CountYourBlessings712 Embossing is coming soon! TFW!
Thank you so much! Very helpful! God Bless!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video! I was wondering what they were! ;)
+April Sexton you're welcome! Thanks for watching!
What tool are you using to clean up the die cuts??
It's a Silhouette® Pick Me Up Tool. Thank you for watching!

Hi Dear, is this machine can cut A4 paper?
+Anabela Sousa no, it's too wide. You would need more of an A5 size.

Hola como si llama eso?
No entiendo la pregunta.
Sizzix Big Shot
Hello Friend. I am asking the question: how does your machine work now. Does she have any problems? I will be grateful for the answer. Thank you.
Hello! It works great. No problems at all. Thank you for watching!
