Shoe Sugar Month: Day 13 SIZZIX BIG SHOT GIVEAWAY!!

January 19, 2011

I'm so delighted to announce that Sizzix is offering one lucky Grosgrain reader a Sizzix Big Shot Machine PLUS one free die of your choosing!

I can't tell you how nice it's been to use this machine in my embellishing. I only wish I had it last month for the sweaters. You've all seen the neat things you can do with it. Day 7, Day 5, Day 3. And I'll have more to show you probably sometime next week.
The reason I've liked this machine so much is because it will cut FABRIC. Which of course is a big deal for me. Did you ever see those little felted flower hair clips for kids on etsy? They take like...5....minutes to make with the Sizzix. Doing an embellished sweater like this? Have all your flowers look perfect and done in a few minutes. You can layer the fabric as you roll it through the machine. Depending on the thickness you can do up to 24 flowers in one turn of the crank, which I did using the nylon chiffon. And if any of you have ever tried to cut chiffon, you know how difficult it can be.
To use, just sandwich your die and fabric between two plastic boards provided and crank through the roller. Voila! In just a few seconds you have literally dozens of shapes. Compared to cutting by hand which takes me 3 minutes to cut three at a time with far less precision. It's pretty neat.

Even uses many other brands of dies. I just bought two recently from Michaels for 50% off. Check out all their amazing dies here. You of course can also use it for paper crafts, vinyl, as well as embossing and great gift ideas. I'd love to use these girl and boy figures with either felt or magnetic paper and make felt board dolls as gifts for the kids.
Winner will be announced at the end of Shoe Sugar Month!! Day 30!
