Our take on the Sizzix Big Shot Machine Starter Kit

The Sizzix Big Shot is a manual die-cutting and embossing machine with a 6-inch opening, sold here as a starter kit in a peony pink finish. It takes the full Sizzix line — Thinlits, Framelits, Bigz dies and embossing folders — so you can cut boxes, tags, journal shapes and card elements, then emboss cardstock for texture. The clip-on handle stores underneath and doubles as a carry handle, which makes it compact for small craft rooms and portable for craft events. Against the Big Shot Plus it is the smaller machine, so Plus-size dies need the Plus; against electronic cutters it is cheaper to run and needs no software, but it is hand-cranked and one pass at a time.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Big Shot line describe a sturdy, simple manual machine that cuts and embosses reliably once you learn the platform stacks. The recurring complaints are the learning curve on sandwiches and the size limit that rules out Plus dies.

About the Sizzix Big Shot Machine Starter Kit

The Sizzix Big Shot is a die-cutting and embossing machine with a 6" opening. This Peony version has a pastel pink finish and comes with a starter kit.

It works with Sizzix Thinlits, Framelits, Bigz dies and embossing folders. Use it to cut shapes such as boxes, bags, gift tags and journals, add decorative elements to cards and scrapbook pages, or emboss cardstock for texture. Choose a die or embossing folder, then roll it through the machine with the required platforms and cutting pads. It is suited to papercraft, home décor and soft crafts. Plus dies require the Big Shot Plus.

The machine applies consistent, even pressure on every pass. A non-slip base keeps it steady during use. A clip-on handle stores underneath the machine to save space, and an ergonomic carry handle makes it portable.
