MY NEW BIG SHOT (with starter kit) ON A TEST DRIVE - with dies, embossing folder and accessories

- I just got my new big shot machine, and I took it for a test drive with you :).
I'm showing the starter kit and some intricate dies, together with bigz dies, movers and shapers dies, cutting pads, embossing mats and a crease pad.
The embossing folder is a texture impressions folder with a sort of LATTICE pattern... I haven't seen it sold separately.
Marianne Design has got an embossing folder (pearls), that is similar to the one in this video.
I really like this machine, will be able to make a lot of work using various blades.😀👍
That magnetic sheet. Brilliant idea!! 😁👍
I like how you made the magnetic sheet for your dies.
Thank you SO much, Sari. If it weren't for your wonderful video I would still be too hesitant to go ahead and put those dies through my new Sizzix Big Shot Plus, despite the creaking/cracking noise. I watched many tutorials and yours is the only one that was really detailed and addressed the struggle with trying to make the "sandwich" go thru, even when everything is put together correctly, in correct order. I had followed your channel for several years now and really love your creativity. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season. Hugs.
Thanks again,
Barbara
Excellent tutorial! loved all!
Whew!!! I am just getting into die cutting and I must say you are very knowledgeable! I will be watching this video several times as there is so much information in it! Thank you for sharing! :)
Hello
I have just got a Sizzix Big Shot . Very excited with it as my other one is very heavy to cart around. What I have found with the extended multipurpose platform, is the wire on the side comes out easily so that you can select 1and 2 or just 2 and you don’t have that big piece hanging out the back. Then you can reassemble the platform again when you finish. Thanks for the video.
Really enjoyed your video. I just bought the Big Shot plus and am enjoying it very much. A trick I do for dies that are intricate is to run a folded dryer sheet with the paper. I find that the paper pops right out. And another item I use especially with Spellbinder dies that are very intricate is the sticky die release foam Cheery Lynn sells. There are certain dies no matter what the paper sinks into the die and tears. I find that foam releases the paper and creates a beautiful cut. I ordered it direct from Cheery Lynn.
Th ank you . I am getting my big kick monday and your video was very helpful.
I love this presentation because now I know what I need to emboss with my big shot. I did know a lot of what you talked about so it was great getting the information
What time is tomorrow show so I don’t miss it.
This was show 129
Hi, 6 years later after you added this video I am watching. I am Really thinking about buying a big shot, what a brilliant video to watch. You are showing everything about the big shot. The pros and cons. I cant thank you enough. Will I buy a big shot, is it worth it? Luv from the UK
Hi there ..
It is a good machine... aa well as the spellbinders platinum 6 ;).
Thank you for your Amazing tutorial
Thank you so much!
U r welcome ;)
I agree about the cutting pads.
I had the same problem: too little space. I asked my hubby to cut it apart and I use it without the hinge. It helps a lot!!!
Wow! I'm new to card making and The Sizzix ... and this was chaotic!
Hi, I'm new to trying to figure out what sizzle to get and this person confused me even more. Lol. If you purchased one, please tell me if it works for you and if satisfied. Wanted to buy one today,but more confused than anything. Would appreciate your input. Thxs from florida
@@estelalopez5483 Hi there! I have to say the The Big Shot was one of the best purchases I've made for my card making. I have the smaller Boutique, but really don't use it at all anymore because I can do so much more with my Big Shot! I would absolutely recommend purchasing it! I love it!
@@estelalopez5483 I just bought a Big Shot from Costco online, and I love it. Well worth the price but note that from Costco, it came with the standard length base and cutting plates and did not come with sample dies. However it did come with a spare set of cutting plates which is even better IMHO.
This video was very helpful because it describes the difficulty getting the sandwich through when it is thicker - on top of all the hints, tricks and product demos. Yes a bit chaotic but still very informative. And thanks for the warning about the possibility of cracking the housing if your sandwich is too thick. Cheers!
Wow, that magnetic sheet you have is just awesome....brilliant idea. FYI. just found your video and ... SUBSCRIBED!!! :-D
Florence Kho
They sure do help me store my dies in a nice way 😁...
And ... Welcome to my channel 😁
I am new here, really enjoy watching people making the crafts. Hopefully I can do my own, haven't thought of it seriously yet... :-P I am not sure whether I can get most of the tools in Malaysia yet.... :-P
hmmm.... I don't have a clue of what kind of stuff there is in Malaysia... Perhaps u'll find a super duper store to get/make new friends at :)...
yea :-)
Sari, I once saw a video with Sue Wilson and she embossed the die at the stage where there were still spots uncut and did again a final run of cutting. I did this and it did help. I want to ask if the embossing folder has a name. I loved it! Would be great for a quilted look card. TFS!

I'm sorry to say, that I haven't found a name for it yet...
But it sure is pretty :)...
The *NEW Sizzix Big Shot Fold-Away has arrived.*
How exciting is that??
Where did you purchase the magnetic sheet?
Sari just loved your demo. My sister gave me my big shot. But when she bought it the foam pieces weren't there. I've got to get me some soon just dont know where to buy them. Well im still gonna have fu

Hi there....
I suppose the content may vary ...
hi there...
what foam pieces are you referring to... the thick dies?
i suppose there a different kits when one buys the big shot machine... some come with just the machine it self :)...
Sari Hänninen oy
I wonder what paper you are using as it is cutting so nice. Mine is having a horrid time cutting...
I think I've used some water colouring paper there :)... It gives the die cuts a nice edge :)...
I agree. Why would they send you an extended platform and only short, standard cutting plates. That doesn't make sense.
Har du provat byta till nya plastplattor och/eller vaxpapper? Jag har hört att det hjälper😀
great video very informative! does it cut vinyl?
it depends on the die and the thickness of the vinyl... on thin dies the cutting edge isn'nt that deep...
I have fallin in love with that embossing folder...can you tell me the name of it??? thanks sooo much!!!
jeanheming I don't think I ever found the name for it... 😔
thanks for looking!!! cant get that machine in U.S. yet!!! i started looking at folders in the sizzic store but gave up ...theres like 14 pages of them, probably only in the starter set!!!
Hi Sari - love your video! Can you tell me the name of that embossing folder that came with your new Big Shot? Thanks, Cathy
JaxonRita I'm not sure it said... It could be something like pearl diamond background ... 😁???
I got an embossing folder from Marianne Design (Dutch company), that's called Pearls. It's similar to the one in the starter kit :).
Jag kom precis på ett annat trix för detail dies, när man kört igenom den en gång bara vrid på dien 45 grader på plattan (om det är möjligt) och kör igenom den igen. Då brukar man träffa alla sweetspots på valsarna och får en bättre utstansning.

japp... jag fick det tipset tidigare också... ska försöka tänka på det nästa gång :)...
I loved your video. I just one last month. I am not crazy about the long base plate either. I wonder how the bevel edge of top plate will work when only wanting to do a half a die, say for flip fold card. I wanted to mention that old plates that are badly scratched will leave marks on the paper. A good idea is to keep one top plate free of cutting so it won't mar the paper. That is why colored plates have come out, but I got carried away and cut one of mind by mistake. Have a creative day.
Call me cynical but I suspect you get the extended platform now because they don’t sell very well so they are off-loading them onto new buyers. You are then more or less obliged to buy additional extended plates to go with the big platform. It’s a win win for the suppliers.
well ...u might b right... :(...
for the detailed dies have you tried the precision Base plate? I love it for mine 😉
+Ann-Sofie Red
Thanks for letting me know...
I'm starting to look for one right now :).

I must be the only person watching that has not understood the first thing that has been said...thank you for your video but I will have to go to another video..
i have bought one off the black magnetic plateform but someone said that if you start using it you always have to use it what do you think about that and what do they mean anyway .thanks for your videos
hi there...
there's the "regular" magnetic platform - that replaces the base platform.... and that is great... just for the fact that the die stays in place :)...
and then there's the precision plate... i believe it's called... and it is also magnetic... u r supposed to have the die against the black - magnetic side... and that sure makes a difference die cutting intricate dies...
sometimes I forget about that wonderful tool...
the base plate is great to keep, when u r going to do some dry embossing with folders... the magnetic plate is too thick for that purpose...
thank you
thank you
loved your video, you sound so sweet, wish we could make cards together, thanks for the video on the new machine, I use my old "Big Kick" and hardly ever have to use a metal plate, I love the tattered lace dies!! I do have some spell binders and anna griffin which are intricate!!! have a great day!!! Sometimes just turning the die slightly to the left or right instead of straight on helps it cut better too!!!
thanx 4 such a sweet reply :)..
Can you use this with glitter foam sheets?
I think you can, it it's thin enough :)... Foam is flexible and will flatten when going through the machine... but it'll straighten itself out afterwards :)...

How doI get this product?
I have looked at dozens of demos for my problem, but no luck. Perhaps you can help me, or lead me to a place that can. I realize this is an older video, but I'm going to try. I've had my BigKick with a Double Wedding Ring die less than a month & have run a few thousand pieces of fabric for a quilt through. I use a sticky roller occasionally to wipe off the die. New sticky roller stuck on the die and now I have what could be called glue on the die. Is there anything I can do?
HMMM...
I'm not familiar with that particular problem, but perhaps you could try running the die with just paper through the big kick...
i suppose the die you've used is a bigz die, with thick foam?
perhaps there is some kind of glue remover that you can use - with a light hand...`
I've had issues with glue and my cinch, when I've made albums - and enforced the spine with duct tape... that was a bit messy, and I thought i'd never get it clean - or get it to work again...
Hi try wiping it down with a product called 'Goo Gone' - this is a solvent that will remove the residue but you will need to clean your die well, afterwards, with soapy water as the solvent is oily. That said, your sticky residue will be gone...
SARI... I just got this same machine, so frustrated! I have a Spellbinders frame die, not near as detailed as these you show. I used base plate, metal plate, frame, paper and cut plate and it wont even go thru the machine! I don't understand WHY you got TWO cutting plates thru and it finally cut and mine wont. GRRRR Ideas????
Well... I suppose some dies are more tricky than others...
It's a bit troublesome with the big big shot... One has to struggle...
There's really no use forcing too many plates through the machine, if it won't accept it, but it should take the regular sandwich... I had to push with my stomach, and at the same time hold on to the machine...
I'm not sure if that helps you in any way...
Best of luck...
Take it back to the shop, if it doesn't work...
I suppose the tightness is an improved detail, so one will get better cuts.... :).
Can u reccoment or send a link about how to use a Double Do XL die cutting machine PLEASE
OH... I haven't got a clue about that one... 😢
How wide is the cutting platform?

I am confused about what comes with the starter kit and what you can do with just the starter kit which is what I was trying to get from the video. Sorry but I don"t have a set yet and I was hoping your video would help me make the decision. Your demo is fine, could use more prep and calmness but very informative, too informative is the problem I had. Thanks for the video though, I will save .it to watch again after I have the starter kit and whatever you get with it
hi there...
u r absolutely right... sometimes I get over exited and speed up things... not so good...
the starter kit comes with a base platform and 2 cutting plates.
the sizes may vary
U are shop 3 sets of cutti g plates
And u only get one set
Where do u find other parts
It's not cutting properly because your dies need to cut downwards. You're only applying pressure to the cutting edges which will damage your machine rollers. Cutting downwards applies more pressure over a larger surface area hence effective cutting of intricate dies.

I bought a big shot about two years ago, and i did not get a mat for embossing, any suggestions?
You could try conracting sizzix... But it's been a while ...
@ yes i thought so too, i should just try. Thx for your replying 😊
Hi Sari, it's been a long time. I hope you are well.
+collbn
Well... I'm as good as can be expected, I suppose...
How about you :)?
Where do you purchase the metal plate
I bought it in a Scrapbooking store...
Nowadays i have my own store... 🥰
Sizzix make a Precision Base Plate For Intricate Thinlits. And you use it with one clear plate
Oops with base
You need to view Scrapbooking Made Simple's vid #129 to know how to use your machine. This was a comedy of errors!

How much sir
I don't understand some of your terminology. New to this process.
Some dies you find to be awkward may benefit from being put in the machine at an angle if they are not too big. This saves having to reposition and put them through again
+Ruth Duke
Thanx for reminding me... I saw Tim Holtz once doing that... Perhaps now, I can remember to do that myself :).
thank you sari . I have just got a new set coming .
Haw match prices
