Hi, I have a big shot foldaway but I’ve just bought the sidekick for the same reason; to do small die cutting for journals as quicker and easier when you have not got a lot of space. My question though, is will the sizzlet dies go through it? I did go to try one but it seemed too thick and I didn’t want to force it and break my new toy that only came today! Or, can you only use the thinlet dies and small embossing on it? Thank you.

[@kathyhegg]

I have a pink one. I also have an original sizzix.

Hello Sharon, I just subscribed from Positively Paper craft and I’m not sure if this is the video I need to comment on for the giveaway but I would like the Tim Holtz. Looking forward to watching your channel grow xx

[@LindaTCornwall]

I had a collection of Sue Wilson-Mini Expressions that a friend gave me, would they be ok going through the sidekick? All the dimensions are under 2 1/2 but I don't know enough about it yet to know lol... are dies all the same thickness?

[@nuskinsuereed]

what do you do with the clear stamps in the box ?
