Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die Box by Eileen Hull, Multicolor

Are you on the hunt for a new addition to your card-making supplies? 3D projects have never been simpler, as Scoreboards dies allow you to both cut and score simultaneously, resulting in a smooth assembly process. Scoreboards dies are compatible with a range of Sizzix die-cutting machines, including the Big Shot, Big Shot Plus, Big Shot Foldaway, Big Shot Pro, and Big Shot Express, along with the use of Extended Cutting Pads (655267). These machines are ideal for card-making, as well as cutting most matboard and chipboard for journaling.

Scoreboards are the perfect dies for a variety of creative endeavors, from constructing sturdy boxes and pockets to designing versatile holders and other imaginative projects. But what exactly is die cutting? It's a quick and easy method of producing individual or mass shapes from materials like paper, foil, cardstock, or even chipboard, using a machine and die rather than cutting by hand.

The die cutting machine itself doesn't physically cut the material - that's the job of the chosen die (such as a Sizzix Bigz, Thinlits, or Framelits die). The machine applies the necessary pressure. So, when determining if you can die cut a specific material, focus on the compatibility of your die, not the machine.

Using a Scoreboards die is a breeze. Start by grabbing your Sizzix Big Shot Machine (660200) and Extended Cutting Pads (655267). Place one cutting pad on the machine, then the Scoreboards die, followed by your chosen material. Complete the "sandwich" with the second cutting pad on top. With a single pass through the die-cutting machine, your design will be cut. Note that Scoreboards dies are not compatible with Standard Cutting Pads due to their length, so Extended Cutting Pads (655267) are required.

If you have any questions about the compatibility of Sizzix dies with non-Sizzix machines, it's best to reach out to the manufacturer of the alternative machine for guidance.
