What is Die Cutting?
Die cutting is a quick and easy way of producing individual or mass shapes from paper, foil, cardstock, or even chipboard using a machine and a die, instead of cutting by hand. A die cutting machine is always necessary to die cut, although it's not the machine itself that physically cuts the material. The die cutter (for example, a Sizzix Bigz, Thinlits, or Framelits die) is responsible for revealing your design. The machine just applies the pressure. So if you're ever unsure whether you can die cut a certain material, check the compatibility of your die rather than your machine.
Conclusion
The Sizzix 660200 Big Shot Manual Die is a versatile and highly functional machine ideally suited for both beginners and experts in the craft of die cutting. With its ability to cut a wide range of materials and compatibility with an extensive library of dies, it offers endless creative possibilities.
