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

Hi there .. It is a good machine... aa well as the spellbinders platinum 6 ;).

well ...u might b right... :(...

Hello

Scrapbooking made simple 129

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

U r welcome ;)

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

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 :)...

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 :-)

OH... I haven't got a clue about that one... 😢

I think I've used some water colouring paper there :)... It gives the die cuts a nice edge :)...

it depends on the die and the thickness of the vinyl... on thin dies the cutting edge isn'nt that deep...

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!

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 :).

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!!!

Debbie McAnany 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 :)...

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

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.... :).

+Candida Vieira I'm sorry to say, that I haven't found a name for it yet... But it sure is pretty :)...

+Ann-Sofie Red japp... jag fick det tipset tidigare också... ska försöka tänka på det nästa gång :)...

+collbn Well... I'm as good as can be expected, I suppose... How about you :)?

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...

You could try conracting sizzix... But it's been a while ...

@ yes i thought so too, i should just try. Thx for your replying 😊
