You really are a better version of Martha Stewart--a younger, hipper, smarter version--and a joy to watch. What scissors do you use for snipping small threads or cutting fabric? And how do you clean your scissors? Any tips?
Wow! That is quite a compliment!! Thank you! Scissors I am using and loving at the moment are here: amzn.to/2GOPOqL You can also get the smaller version depending on the use: amzn.to/2GMl3Tf To CLEAN your scissors you can use sewing machine oil like this here: amzn.to/2DzPiuQ Thank you for stopping by!!

When i got my Big Shot Plus, I didn't have anywhere like a desk drawer to keep the allen wrench. So i ended up taping it to the bottom of the machine. At least I haven't lost it yet! Have fun with your new toy!!!
I just mine today! I opened two minutes ago and Im watching your video. I got a huge embossing folder and TWO dies. OMG, I never seen or heard of wooden dies. This is so AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.
I just received my first die cutting machine and have never used one before. I did some research and found that the sizzix big shot plus was the best around so THANKYOU for the demo as I haven’t taken mine out of its box. I want to learn about it first lol.
This has been on my wish list for the last three months. Planning to get it next month.Nothing is more exciting then brand new die cutting plates.Everything cuts perfect.
You will love the Big Shot Plus, I have one and love mine.Works great and you can use it for all your larger dies that don't fit in a regular Big shot.I use to have a Spellbinders Grand Calibur and it didn't hold up, the Big shot is built much better. Happy crafting!
You deserve it!! I got the Plus machine a month ago and I love it. It gives me so much flexibility with my dies. I have a little diamond press for small dies and I still have my big shot machine.
Awesome!!! I am so excited for you!!!! It’s like Christmas!!!! I know you will enjoy your new machine!!! You can get more done not that you are slacking lol!!! You are so efficient!!! Have fun!!! TFS!!!
I've just ordered my first Sizzix as well My mom has the Big Shot and ended up having to buy Big Shot+ After seeing her card results I decided to order one I am Cricut Maker and Cricut Maker3 owner but i just heard so much good thing about this machine How easy it is to use My mom isn't Tec savvy so she love how hands on it is 🤞😫😫🤞 I love it to It arrives tomorrow
youcan emboss several folders at once i picked up this machine with bonus kit for $40 new in the bix . just unboxed and enjoy the video what was the wooden van die ( source) my gson is a VW guy would love it for cards.
Great video. Explained well. One question though, is there a way of stopping the machine from moving around as you are putting the dies through to cut? Could it have suction pads put underneath to stop the movement?
I’ve had this plus on my want list for a while. My big shot is about to bite the bullet. My only concern with the plus size it that you can’t use the intricate die cutting plate with this. I’m not quite sure why though. Also, the replacement plates aren’t available everywhere and they are expensive. Have you tried using your smaller plates and sandwich with it? I would think it would just help in getting dies through a tiny bit faster, if they aren’t huge dies.
You will love it!! Ever since I got my big shot plus. I never went back to the medium size Big Shot. I either use the Big shot Plus or either the very small one for very small projects. By the way where did you get the Bow dies?
This exactly the type of feedback I needed. I have a Side Kick, and have been going back and forth between getting the Big Shot or the Big Shot Plus. Recently I had been thinking that with the small one and the Plus I would be covered for all size cutting.
Would you ever not use one of the clear plates as a base plate when embossing? To make a thinner sandwich as not all folders are the same. I just got my big shot plus and am concerned about damaging the machine and folders etc
Erica, saw your "Tips and Tricks" video. For wafer thin intricate dies you just need to add a metal shim or the Precision Base board? Which works better? You seem to advise the metal shim. Thanks!
Hi There, I recently bought the Big Shot Plus and need to know will it fit the thicker dies that are wood and foam. I see that you used a "steel roll die" in the shape of a van. Where did you get that? How thick is it? I bought a Thought Bubble from Accucut for my BigKick, but to my chagrin, I had to return it because it is not compatible; it doesn't fit in the machine...too thick. I tried finding some steel roll dies but have not been successful. I specifically need alphabets and numbers. I actually prefer the thicker dies over the Thinlits dies. I used a lot of Ellison dies in past years and like them a lot. Your van die looks just like the Thought Bubble die that I returned. But now I am wondering would that die have fit in my newly purchased Big Shot Plus? Please help. Thank you
Hi Erica! I bought a Big Shot Plus a few months ago. Recently I’ve started making slimline cards, but I’ve been having some problems. Using 65 lb and 80 lb paper, my base cards keep coming out warped. Have you had this problem? Am I doing something wrong or is there any way I can correct this? Thank you!
I bought it and it’s already here! Omg I’m so excited, I’ve never had such a gigantic die cutting machine before! I’ve been using a Cuttlebug but it won’t work well with the thick foam type dies! Your video came at the perfect time for me since I just had a garage sale so I was able to trade all those unwanted items in for something I NEEDED, LOL!! Whoop whoop!😀
Hi I've always loved my big shots. Have electric ones rubbish. But disappointed with big shots plus my plates ruined 😊in one week. I turned them about rotating really disappointed

You will love it, I've had mines for over 4 years and still enjoy using it. You might consider investing in smaller plates etc for smaller projects.
Thanks for the tip!! :)

I have the Big Shot You Plus too and I love it. 😊💕

Awesome I ordering my first Big Shot next week now I need dies and folders lol
Great video. Explained well. One question though, is there a way of stopping the machine from moving around as you are putting the dies through to cut? Could it have suction pads put underneath to stop the movement?
Very nice, I appreciate the time you put into this unboxing. 😊
Thank you, thank you.
Are there any big emboss folders for this machine ? 🤭🤭🤭❤️❤️

dgmlmax use my small platforms in this most of the time!
I have the plus and love it.. everything fits in one shot..
Great editorial thank you!
Great demo. I heard that sissix will no longer be producing the big shot. Is that true?
Carol Love hello! Honestly not sure?? Sorry
Great demo, thanks for sharing.
Where’d you get the wooden dies? They are adorable!
You will love it!! Ever since I got my big shot plus. I never went back to the medium size Big Shot. I either use the Big shot Plus or either the very small one for very small projects.
By the way where did you get the Bow dies?

I got the limited edition pink one.
I missed out on that one!! :(
Erica, saw your "Tips and Tricks" video. For wafer thin intricate dies you just need to add a metal shim or the Precision Base board? Which works better? You seem to advise the metal shim. Thanks!
To be honest I normally use my metal shim more. BUT depends on the die!!! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Erica
@@ScrapDiva29 Thank you, Erica!
I'm so happy for you!! It looks like you got a good price also. There's no stopping you now! Of course I guess there never was any stopping you, lol.
LOL!! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Erica
Nice machine! I would love one. It can do big dies too big for the smaller one. TFS
using this machine only if you have a ready made die or template? So you can't custom made your own templete or design?
Hi There, I recently bought the Big Shot Plus and need to know will it fit the thicker dies that are wood and foam. I see that you used a "steel roll die" in the shape of a van.

im getting mine soon. tfs
Enjoy your new toy😍 Excellent demo, T4S.
Can you tell me how much it cost and if you want to take it with you so u can do card making anywhere is there a specific carrying case
Hi .. where did u get the embossing folder.. do we have to buy it everytime
Thank you for the video!
I noticed that your cutting boards had lines in them after you used the thinlets. Is that okay?
Yes, absolutely normal!!
@@ScrapDiva29 thank you! I was so worried that I had just broken my new boards
Dang it now I want one. I don’t have any bigger dies. Mainly because i don’t have a machine to cut on. You created a monster.
Just Judy Crafting LOL! I can’t believe I waited to this long to get this machine!!!
Wonderful machine.
Thank you for the demo. This is my next purchase.
LOVE IT!! It's SOOOOO BIG!!
I have been saving for one
Thanks for demo. Hugs and Blessings Jeanne

Oh, I bought mine from Amazon for $136.84 including shipping. I thought that was a pretty good deal!
Where can I purchase It?
Nice video, tfs! Do the adapter plates A and B come with the machine, or do you need to purchase separately?
They are included.
Hi Erica. That is awesome. Have you ever ordered cutting pads from Ali-express? Thanks!
HI there!! No I have not. I have seen them for smaller machines. I will have to look.... hmmmm :)
Awesome enjoy your goodies my friend ❤
Hi, where did you buy your wooden bow die cut?
