Isn't the Sizzix BIGkick (or Sizzix Big Shot) just fabulous. I want one!!!

The Sizzix BIGkick Machine

The Sizzix BIGkick Machine

I don't personally own one, but a friend, who I am extremely jealous of, has one that I use every time I get a chance.
Now what I love about the BIGkick:

  • The rolling mechanism. OMG, this is absolutely the best feature, no more having to slide the large dies through the original sizzix to get the shape cut out. No slippages, or having part of the die cut but part not, due to not enough pressure. And I just love the crunching sound it makes as it cuts!
  • The larger base. This means you can put the larger dies in sideways to make cuts quicker, fit in larger sheets of paper and basically cut more out at once.
  • The multi purpose platform which is used for all the different die cutter shapes Sizzix have and you can also use other brands with it.
  • Compatibility. The BIGkick is compatible with the whole Sizzix die cutter range. YEAH
  • You can cut out multiple smaller sizzix die cuts at once. Oh, I really should just trade in my original and get the new one!
  • The BIGkick can also cut the same thicker cardstock and materials that the original sizzix cuts, like cork, cardstock, multiple paper sheets, fabric, felt etc.

    • Ok, lets face it, the BIGkick is just wonderful and I wish I owned one. However, at this stage I am not going to trade in my original machine for the new one (not since I can borrow my friends).

    But I do wonder how much I could get for my original sizzix if I sold it on eBay! Could I then afford to buy the new BIGkick?!!
