Sizzix Bigz Die Dragonfly by Sophie Guilar

Looking to expand your card-making supplies? Sizzix Bigz Dies, a type of metal cutting die, offer endless creative possibilities. These steel-ruled crafting dies are perfect for papercraft and compatible with a wide range of materials, from foil to chipboard. This versatility makes the Bigz Die an ideal choice for any die-cutting project, whether you're embellishing cards or creating stunning appliqué cushions.

Compatible with a wide range of Sizzix die-cutting machines, including the Sizzix Big Shot, Sizzix Big Shot Plus, Sizzix Big Shot Foldaway, Sizzix Big Shot Express, and Sizzix Big Shot Pro, these dies provide a quick and easy way to produce individual or mass-produced shapes from various materials like cardstock, fabrics, leather, balsa wood, or even chipboard, without the need for hand-cutting.

While a die-cutting machine is necessary for the die-cutting process, it's the die itself that does the actual cutting. Sizzix offers a variety of die types, such as Bigz, Thinlits, and Framelits, each designed to cut specific materials. When selecting a die, it's important to focus on the compatibility of the die rather than the machine, as Bigz dies can generally cut through anything a good pair of scissors can.

Using a Bigz die is straightforward. Start by placing the die on one cutting pad, then position your chosen material on top of the die. Complete the "sandwich" by adding the second cutting pad on top, and run it through the die-cutting machine. With a single pass, your desired design will be revealed.

If you need any guidance, Sizzix provides a wealth of educational resources, including videos and inspiration, in the "From the Manufacturer" section and on the Brand Store.

While Sizzix recommends using their dies with Sizzix machines for optimal results, the compatibility of Sizzix dies with other manufacturers' machines can be discussed by contacting the machine's manufacturer.

The Dragonfly and Flower Bigz steel rule die, for example, can be used together or separately to create beautiful, creative projects. Sizzix Bigz dies allow you to cut a variety of materials, including paper, cardstock, chipboard, leather, denim, craft aluminum, cork, felt, and fabric, making them suitable for an array of creative pursuits, such as paper crafting, home decor, patchwork, appliqué, and fashion accessories.

In summary, Sizzix Bigz Dies offer a versatile and efficient way to elevate your card-making and crafting endeavors, with compatibility across a wide range of Sizzix die-cutting machines and material options. Explore the endless creative possibilities these metal cutting dies can provide.
