Sizzix is awesome!
The very first "big" investment I made into my #cardmaking was the sizzix big shot plus. I used the life out of the cutting pads that came with it, and the original one finally got so warped that I couldn't use it anymore- it was well loved! Highly recommend this machine and the cutting pads to anyone looking for a quality die cutting system. These smaller sized pads are perfect for when I dont want to run a whole pad all the way through for smaller dies in my machine. My big shot plus is the only one I can afford as of now, so this makes it easier to cut smaller things if I dont want to load the whole pad up with dies.
