Big Shot Die Cutting
I own a Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Here are the items I've purchased for it that have made the most difference
Big shot die cutting. Awesome for all paper crafting *I am an Amazon affiliate an I earn a small commission on all purchases using my links
Sizzix 660200 Big Shot Manual Die, 6 Inches
Extra big Shot plates and shims are definitely important for different style dies
BAOFALI 3 Pcs Cutting Pads & Thin Die Adapter
I have the extended platform, also. It comes in handy. This works well with some of the longer dies out there
Sizzix 658992 Multipurpose Platform Extended
They didn't have these mats when I was looking. Definitely look to be a better option than the magnetic platform I bought which is big and bulky
Standard Magnetic Mat for Big Shot Machine
Another type of shim. Some of those thin dies are intricate and require the shim to be JUST SO in order for it to cut well
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Standard Adapter Pad B
This precision Base Plate is necessary if you are cutting intricate plant dies (I'm talking to you, Tim Holtz!). A lot of those leafy, nature dies need this plate in order to properly cut
