Die-Cut Machines for Scrapbooking

Name of product: 

Sizzix Big Shot

Date of purchase: 

2009

My Review 

I have used many dies and machines and, without a doubt, I LOVE the Big Shot by far. Not only does it use the other manufacturer's dies, but I love the 3-D items that both Sizzix and Stampin' Up! have to offer. I sell my items at craft fairs and ALWAYS get comments about how cute and unusual they are. Give me a Big Shot ANYDAY! I haven't tried the new PRO yet, however, it is quite a bit more expensive. I had just bought a Cricut and took it back to the store!

Cost Vs. Value 

The value for your money is unbelievable. It is MUCH less costly and instead of paying for a whole expensive cartridge of items you may or may not want, I only buy the dies I want.
