All of these machines are perfect for card making and much more, so you won't be short on projects you can utilize these dies for.

But what exactly is die cutting? Die cutting is a quick and easy way of producing individual or mass shapes from paper, foil, cardstock, or even chipboard, using a machine and die instead of cutting by hand. The die cutting machine applies the necessary pressure, while the chosen die, such as a Sizzix Bigz, Thinlits, or Framelits die, is responsible for cutting the design. So when considering which materials you can die cut, it's important to check the compatibility of your die rather than your machine.

To use a Sizzix Bigz die, start by grabbing your Sizzix Big Shot Machine (660200) and Standard Cutting Pads (655093). Place one cutting pad on the machine, then the Bigz die, followed by your chosen material. Complete the "sandwich" by adding the second cutting pad on top, and then run it through the machine. With just one roll, your design will be revealed.

If you're ever unsure about the process, be sure to check the "From the Manufacturer" section or head over to the Brand Store, where you'll find plenty of educational videos and inspiration.

While Sizzix dies are designed to work best with Sizzix machines, they may be compatible with other brands of die cutting machines. If you have any questions about compatibility, it's best to contact the manufacturer of the machine directly.

Whether you're looking to create party masks, home decor, fashion accessories, or a wide range of other projects, Sizzix Bigz dies are a versatile tool that can cut through a variety of materials, including paper, cardstock, chipboard, leather, denim, craft aluminum, cork, felt, and fabric. The possibilities are endless, making these dies ideal for every creative pursuit.
