- When does Sizzix run sales?
- Sizzix discounts cluster around major papercraft events and holidays, and retailers often cut prices on starter kits and bundles during back-to-school and Black Friday periods. Check the price history on each product page to see when this item has actually dropped.
- Where is Sizzix cheapest?
- Craft retailers and large marketplaces usually undercut the Sizzix site itself on machines, while dies and pads are often cheapest in multi-packs. Compare the listed store prices for the Big Shot and Sidekick kits before buying.
- What is the difference between the Big Shot and the Sidekick?
- The Big Shot is a full-width manual press that takes wide dies and long embossing folders, so it handles bigger projects. The Sidekick is a compact press with a 3-inch opening, made for small dies and portable use, and the Starter Kits bundle it with a platform and a few dies.
- What comes in the Sidekick Starter Kit?
- The kit pairs the Sidekick machine with the cutting pads and platform needed to start, plus a small set of dies. The Tim Holtz version swaps in designs from that licensed line.
- What is Sizzix's return policy?
- Returns depend on the store you buy from, not on Sizzix alone, so check the seller's policy before ordering. Machines bought direct from Sizzix typically follow its own return window, which is shorter than most retailers'.
