Sizzix Bigz XL BIGkick/Big Shot Die, Ball 3-D Pop-Up Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this die. It makes the cutest photo cubes or 3-D balls imaginable. Since its a "pop-up", you can mail the completed project in a large card or between two pieces of card stock. It pops-up when opened. The product makes a wonderful photo cube gift for the proud grandparents, or for anyone else for that matter. If you opt to decorate the ball instead of cover it with photos, the sky is the limit in terms of what you can come up with. I made Christmas or Holiday ornaments.
However, I gave a four star rating instead of five stars because I found the instructions confusing. Maybe its just me, but I struggled for quite some time before I figured out how to assemble the ball. I also discovered that if you follow the included directions, you will be wasting a lot of paper. I have made and posted a video showing how to assemble the ball, and how to cut the die so you waste very little paper.

Cuttlebug Embosser and Die Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe no one has reviewed this here. I spent a great deal of time researching other die-cut machines to work across ALL of my dies - Quickutz, Sizzix, Sizzlets - and this one does it all. The size of the cutting area is MUCH larger than Revolution and will do Revolution's 4" dies. My Sizzix dies cut like a dream, and even QK dies that I was thinking of sending back for replacement now cut without a problem!
I had no problems with curling or cracking, I read that some Cuttlebugs have a slight variation in the rollers and you have to experiment to find the sandwich makeup that works best for your machine and your dies. If one plate curls, I just put it in the opposite way. I also tend to put my dies at the very beginning of the plate and wind it backwards thru again after the cuts have been made.
6 QK 2" dies at once!!! If you have the QK triple plates, you can do 2 at once!!!! It's heaven!! Especially if you have doublecutz, you can do both plates at once!!!
Only down side doesn't matter to me - suction on table gets lost after a short bit, but who cares, I always move it around anyway! And right now, Michaels and AC Moore allow you to buy it using their coupons -- for the time being anyway!!!
I'm getting rid of my QK tool and my Sizzix machine!!!!

Make professional cards or impressive scrapbook motifs with fun cutout shapes and three-dimensional designs, created using the Cuttlebug embosser and die cutter. From Provo Craft, the Cuttlebug cuts, embosses, or cuts and embosses paper, chipboard, vinyl, thin sheet metal, fabric paper, and other materials up to 1/8 inch thick. The machine comes with a spacer block, two 7-3/4-by-6-inch cutting pads, thin die adapter, user manual, and a hand-crank handle, as well as a hex key tool, screw, and plastic cap for handle installation. To get started, put the selected cutting die or embossing folder face up with the cutting paper between the two cutting mats and place in either of the Cuttlebug’s fold-down trays. The hand-crank rolls the material through the machine to the opposite tray, cutting or impressing images. With a suction system, the machine sticks to flat surfaces to prevent slippage while cutting. The machine works with a variety of Provo Craft cutting dies and embossing folders, available for separate purchase, as well as with many other manufacturers’ thin dies and steel rule dies for greater flexibility and versatility. Equipped with an integrated pop-up handle for easy machine transportation, the Cuttlebug also benefits from its fold-up trays for compact storage. Keep fingers clear of the trays during cutting, and supervise children carefully for safe usage. To clean, avoid abrasive, chemical, and spray cleaners. A limited one-year warranty covers this item. The Cuttlebug measures 12 inches long by 7-4/5 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches high and weighs 11 pounds upon shipping.

Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine Beginner's Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this embossing machine! I already have a Silhouette SD digital cutter and didn't need the more expensive machines that do cutting and embossing. The Texture Boutique Embossing Machine is very reasonably priced and can use most of the embossing folders on the market for other machines. It has a small footprint, is easy to transport, and is stylish too. I'm having a great time making cards and love the embossed results!!
