Big Shot Plus Details: This machine is everything that Sizzix fans love about its smaller sibling the Big Shot – plus the versatility to use 8 1/2" x 11" materials! The beautiful white and gray Big Shot Plus Die Cutting Machine is stylish and versatile and it works with the entire Sizzix product library (with the exception of Bigz Pro dies).
A bright white and gray color scheme gives the Sizzix Big Shot Plus a fresh and modern feel while looking great in any décor. With solid core steel rollers and solid steel gears, the Big Shot Plus is as tough as it is stylish!
With its 9” wide cutting path, you can use the Big Shot Plus with everything from large 9"-wide plastic-backed dies to the smallest thin metal dies. For more efficient cutting, use the Big Shot Plus’s large cutting area to cut multiple smaller dies in a single cutting pass! And of course the Big Shot Plus will also emboss, score and crease as well (accessories may be required for these tasks).
Use this machine with thousands of thin metal dies (such as Sizzix Thinlit and Sizzix Framelit) and steel rule Sizzix dies, as well as a huge selection of Sizzix embossing folders. The Sizzix Big Shot Plus cuts and embosses many different materials, such as paper, vellum, fabric, chipboard, and cork to make your creative vision a reality.
The Big Shot Plus Machine and accessories will also work with other brands' dies and embossing tools, including being able to take letter sheet sized embossing folders available from several brands, so this machine opens up a world of possibilities! In order to ensure compatibility, make sure to check machine and accessory requirements.
The diagrams on the included Big Shot Plus Platform offer easy guidelines about how to make the perfect Sizzix sandwich, or you can refer to the Sizzix Sandwich Booklet for reference.

How to Use the Big Shot Plus: To use the Sizzix Big Shot Plus with a steel rule die, place the die between a pair of cutting pads with the paper face down over the part of the die design you would like to cut. If needed, use washi or masking tape to secure the paper in place to get perfect placement of your paper. Set the die and pad “sandwich” on the cutting path of the Big Shot Plus machine, and turn the crank to move it through the machine.
To use the Sizzix Big Shot Plus machine with a thin metal die, you'll need to use the included Big Shot Plus Platform with adaptor A (or the Sizzix Magnetic Platform) as well as a set of cutting pads, also included. To create your die cutting “sandwich”, begin by placing the platform on the bottom with the adapter on top of it. Next, place the first cutting pad on top of the stack. Then place your paper right side up on top of the cutting pad. Place the thin metal die on top of the paper, with the cutting edge down (in contact with the paper). Finish the sandwich by placing the second cutting pad on top. Set the die and Sizzix pads “sandwich” on the cutting path of the Big Shot Plus machine, and turn the crank to move it through the machine.
For easy reference of how to assemble “sandwiches” with these cutting pads for other types of dies and Sizzix accessories, use the Sizzix Sandwich Booklet.
TIP: The Sizzix Big Shot Plus machine’s polycarbonate plastic cutting pads can make loud creaking, cracking and snapping noises while being cranked through the machine that can sound alarming. Do not panic if your machine makes these noises while cutting! This is a normal part of machine operation and the Sizzix pads and machine are designed to withstand the pressures of cutting.

I am pleased with my purchase and enjoying learning how to use it. I did not give it a 5 star review because my "complete designer bundle" description included storage envelopes for two of the die sets that were not included in my package. As a result, I had to purchased them separately at added expense to protect the dies.

This was my first experience with a die cutting machine--wish I'd known about them sooner! I appreciated the "how to" videos on Scrapbooking.com--they were easy to follow and gave me the directions and ideas that I needed as a beginner. I learned rapidly and have had a great time making kites, flowers, birds, fences, etc. etc. and my scrapbooks are growing exponentially ever since. It's cut my page making time by hours. It's far superior to cutting with a scissors!
I am over the moon about this new, larger Big Shot. It is as awesome as my smaller, original, but allows me to get into bigger dies which I have been wanting to do for the longest time. I would highly recommend it, and this site, for the great price and very quick shipping. The machine arrived in stellar condition.
The Big Shot Plus is a BIG machine that provides a whole new way to die cut. You can do full-page cut outs. In terms of its use and stability, etc., it is as well engineered as regular BigShot. I love it and am looking for new ways to take advantage of the platform. I do, however, recommend having either a Big Shot or a Big Kick machine on hand. . . some jobs don't require this scale of operation.
I'm giving this NEW TOY 5 Stars because when I received it I was pleasantly surprised. It is sturdy and well built. Haven't started using this yet, but, I'm sure once I begin, I will be hooked. Trying to gather all the materials I will be using and can't forget to mention all the informative videos I've been watching. This is my first time I have ever used a die machine. So, I am excited and a little cautious at the same time.
AND, so many dies out there!
Love the larger "work" area! Also like that the noise of the "speed bump" that you would get with the Big Shot ,........when you run the "sandwich" through.....is not as loud.
A good tip is......when you do have your "sandwich" formed....just tilt the "sandwich" a tad either way....then run it through......and you don't get the noise at all!!!!!
I really love this new presentation for the Big Shot. The color and lines are pristine and fashionable at the same time. The quality of the cutting is perfect. And here at scrapbook.com I was able to score it at an incredible price..which is a win win situation for me! I highly recommend this machine...and definitely recommend scrapbook.com for your purchases!!!
I really have not used my new Big Shot Plus much, but took it out of the box, set it up and tried an intricate die and it worked like a charm--no hesitation and the die glided through very smoothly. I am looking forward to having fun with my new die-cutting machine! It is heavy enough that it does not slide around as some of the other machines do. It stays in place and seems to cut effortlessly! I am very happy with my purchase! The price on Scrapbook.com was the best I could find!
Love my new Big Shot Plus!!!
For years I had been using a cuttlebug, which I love, But I wanted a more stable base.
The Plus was the perfect solution!!!! I love the sturdy
base....the wider area to work with without being too cumbersome. ..the neutral color for leaving out in my kitchen and the reasonable price compared to the Pro!
I am a very happy crafter!!!
My new Plus is definitely a Plus!
All the products arrived without their original packaging. I did not receive any of the "storage envelopes" that are described in the product. The detail is as follows: when I go to test the machine I had to return to the description of the product in the Order, I did not know if they were Thinlits Dies, Sizzlits Dies, Triplits Dies ... this is my first purchase. Of the rest, the product looks excellent quality, I loved what I have done and I hope to do many projects with it.
