This is an oldie but a goodie. Thanks for taking the time and keeping us informed. You are amazing to me.

[@bubbanme4]

Honest, objective, chock full of relevant information, and presented by a wonderful woman who truly makes this world a kinder, gentler, better place. Thank you for sharing and caring.

[@nunt2]

The first video from your channel I ever watched was the original do's and don'ts, when I was getting my first Big Shot and it was the first video that explained ALL the different plates which I was completely confused over. Fantastic that you did it again, I just ordered myself a precision cutting plate :)

[@pjl2510]

I love your videos. Without a scrapbooking store in town, it's often the only way I hear about new products and learn how to use them. Thank you!

[@sylviagale5328]

My husband walked through the room while I was watching this video, he loved your laugh. He said maybe he like to craft if he could listen to you. lol So I would love the big shot plus, could pass my smaller one down to him and we could craft together. Well maybe not, my craft room is too small. I love learning new things and refreshing myself of the old. Thanks so much for your work.

[@lisapeterson6130]

I have been die cutting for years and still found your video worthwhile......there are always things we can still learn. Thanks for all of your insights. Love the plus machine!

[@silkinajackson2892]

I've just found your KZbin Chanel & store yesterday. I've been in a crafting crash course since 1pm EST yesterday & have loved every minute of it!!! Your joy is infectious. I deal with chronic pain daily & was just cruising KZbin cuz I was having a rough day. After the first video you had me laughing & lifted my spirits! For that alone I want to say Thank You! And wouldn't it be GREAT if I won a Big Shot or a Big Shot Plus Machine!!! Peace & Blessings, Ms. Silk

[@johncmullins5005]

This is the first time I've seen a complete review of the Big Shot Machine....it was great. I have to say, I can't tell you how many times I had to abandon a project or do a fixer to get a big project done...the Big Shot Plus is THE solution. I would love to have it. Great review....no surprise - your tutorials are always so well done. Thanks for this, it was a great idea!

[@melaniefisher8823]

Holy cow, I'm not sure if I am too late but thought I'd try. I watched the first video of the do's and don'ts of the big shot twice before I purchased my machine and I'm thankful you've added an update. Thank you for not "being bought" by manufacturers! Anyway, and wouldn't it be great if I won the Big Shot Plus?? I wish everyone could win...it's an amazing opportunity you're giving two people...thank you for that too!

[@cathydiblasi]

I started with the first Sizzix machine years ago. You are so right about all the changes. This was packed full of information. Thank you from everyone.

[@SavingwithStephanieJ]

Stacey getting to sit and watch you is almost as good as taking a class. Sometimes I just sit and listen while I clean the kitchen. Thank you so much for your great videos.

[@rdhess1534]

Thank you for another great tutorial, Stacey. I hope all these manufacturers understand the effect you have on this industry. You are truly an inspiration to all of us and we are so grateful for your hard work. I would love to have either machine. It's by Sizzix and that's the best in my book.

[@suzieque5149]

This Video was extremely helpful to a beginner. I hope that I can do this because it looks like so much fun. I am going to your store now. Thank you for all of these helpful "Do's and Dont's"

[@Connectivespirit]

LOVE YOUR Laugh!! It caught me at the part where you talk about an older video and 300,000 views and now you got me hooked!! LOL Great stuff!!! Thanks for all you do

[@kathyadams5294]

I've been thinking of getting a Big Shot to replace my old Cuttlebug, and I think you've convinced me of what I need. Thank you.

[@ktmoore1960]

Stacey I know I already commented but I have spent over 3 hrs with you watching the video twice and I can't thank you enough for being you , giving your insight and especially explaining the precious plate. I love my big shot machine and now I understand it much better. I would be heartbroken if I broke it. So from the bottom of my heart thank you again. You are teacher of the year in my book!!

[@Debbstar1000]

Thank you for explaining how to use all these pads makes cutting and embossing much easier.

[@user-wo3lj6nh7d]

WOW! Thanks so much for "making sense" of "squishy, knock knock and thud". I have a old Grand Caliper and would love to win a Big Shot, either one. The Big Shots offer so much more. Really enjoy your videos. Your laughter brightens the day.

[@TheGothamsCityToCity]

Stacey, I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos! This video was so helpful to me! I decided on the Big Shot Plus after your recommendations! Even though I am a beginner! Thanks for being you! I'm glad I found you!

[@jashill71]

Wow! The beauty of the You Tubes is that we can go back and refresh our memories. I love my Sizzix Big Shot but it would be such a treat to win anything much less a Sizzix Plus machine. I count myself a winner anyway by having your informative and enjoyable videos to watch frequently. Thanks to you and all the SMS staff for sharing your beautiful (happy) creations!

[@donnah2584]

I love your classes. I've learned so much from you and your videos, and I can't thank you enough for this opportunity. I would love a Big Shot Plus.

[@NancyLynn]

Stacy, thanks for your upfront and honest information about all the products you talk about. As a customer, that is the most appreciative quality in any business! As I already have a Sizzix Big Shot, and even though my chances are lessened asking for the "BIG SHOT PLUS" machine, I would still love to have the BIG SHOT PLUS!!! Thanks Stacy for all you do for the paper crafting world!

[@papierkowocom]

I love you! I live in Poland where there we have to wait ages to get new products. Thank you so much for all your tutorials ! Hugs from Poland!!!!

[@germaine734]

This is why I appreciate you, you are using your real experience to help us make our decisions. Thank you.

[@fiyre43]

This was GREAT!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial. It really helps to distinguish the two and how to use them. I would like a Big Shot Plus.

[@maryteclaw4869]

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I am new to the wonderful world of making cards...and was entirely lost when it came to all of the many platforms/pads to use with all of the many dies available...now I am moving forward with greater enjoyment and confidence. I am so appreciative of your time and expertise in teaching us with patience and humor. I would be so grateful if I were chosen to either of the machines...but if not I am so much more wiser for y our valuable lessons.

[@TheGardenKitten]

What great machines, these are, I really enjoy these tutorials.

[@seashell6772]

Thanks Stacey. we always need a few reminders and I always learn something new. I learned I really want this new machine!

[@NANCYMAKELA]

Thanks for all the great tutorials and that great laugh, I find myself laughing right along with you

[@nancymitchell3962]

Stacey, Cannot thank you enough for wrapping this up in one video. You may have done one before but I missed it. I was going to use a die to emboss and was concerned that I would have to search for the video...No longer an issue. Love your work!

[@michelepadian3602]

Love the video for the Big Shot and Big Shot Plus. I have the BigShot and would like aBig Shot Plus. I was given two sets of thinlits that you need the Plus for. Now that I am retired, I cannot just run out and buy it. Would be wonderful to win one. Thanks for all the tips on how to use all the accessories. I have the accessories but had forgotten how to use some of them. And the new paper transfers - I have to get them. Beautiful idea. Thanks for all the tips. I will definitely be tuning in again. Stacy you are so nice to share all these tips and hints. Hope I can win a Big Shot Plus but will tune back in regardless of the outcome. This is for Utube 129

[@Patty2832]

I need a Big Shot Plus !! You always teach me so many things !! I keep re-watching all the videos ! I'm so glad they are on KZbin and readily available !

[@taylorfixico]

Thanks so much now I know how to use impression pad which I don't have so am ordering it. Willo

[@jeannejj]

Thank you so much. I have been using the Big Shot for a long time, but as you said, the tools have changed. You have saved my open dies from being warped. I would love to have a Big shot plus.

[@susanturner1171]

So 5 years later you're still making sales I just ordered a knock knock and a squishy

[@mjgmatx]

I used the Cuttlebug for years and while I liked it, I just didn't use it because it wasn't very versatile or there was just too much guess work in figuring out the sandwiches. So, I too, chuckled, when you referred to the cuttlebug!! I would love a Sizzix plus machine. Thank you for your honesty and integrity as well, it is so appreciated! If you sold cars, I would buy one from you!

[@craftEcreationz]

This was very informative. Especially about the precision plate and magnetic plate. I have been using them both together since I got them and have since warped a few of my spellbinder dies that are open. Now I know why. Thanks for much for this information. I own a big kick so I would love to win a Big Shot Plus!! Christy

[@GailDuncansweetscraps]

I am so glad I watched this because I have the big shot plus and was wondering why my open dies were warping. Now I know. Lesson learned for me. So informative for me and always love watching your videos.

[@dawntemplen8369]

This was soooo informative! Thank You Stacy soooo much!

[@MyCandiL]

Thank you so much Stacey, I have been going back and forth since I saw Sizzix was going to be coming out with new machines! I have to say, I LOVE your videos! You are always so informative, upbeat, simply a pleasure to watch!! (And boy, wouldn't it be great to win a big shot plus)...lol I really do mean everything I said, your videos bring us so much information on all the new lines, products, supplies, etc... I find and learn something new, out of every video you post! Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! Candi~

[@laurahewitt5640]

good video, wish I was as happy a person as u seem to be.

[@fredflintstone3088]

I was up to midnight watching and taking notes but that alarm clock rings loud in the morning so I will have to listen to the last half hour of the video today. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful tips and tricks!! You really help a lot of people with your videos!! And boy would it be nice to own the Big Shot Plus! The more room for cutting and embossing the better! Now I have to go watch the rest of the video and the other video...and no alarm will ring tomorrow! Yay!!

[@melissamellinger6809]

It would be nice if the tutorials were broken down into 20 to 30 minute segment there is so much to remember. Even with notes. And referring back to a specific demo would be easier to find. Love your products! Sincerely, Melissa

[@vickiefarrow7540]

Oh my goodness, Stacey! Thank you so much! The best video yet. I'm sure you have helped so many of us that are new to the Big Shot machine and how it works. I took notes and wrote down the number of this video for future reference. Again, thank you so much!

[@danamartin7959]

[@keleighstundza5170]

Dear Stacey, You just make my day! I don't Scrapbook. I don't make cards. I do Zentangle. I started watching to see if there was a way to combine what you do with what I do. Now I watch as often as I can. I watch just to see how you teach. It's so refreshing to see someone be so honest and tell it like it is. Me Too! So it wouldn't it be great if I won the Big Shot Plus Machine so I could Use my 8x11 papers. Keep the laughter coming. PS ask your nail person if they have the mood altering polish. It changes color according to the heat . That could drive some of your viewers nuts!!!Q I do it at work.

[@jamingammy6817]

I need the largest to use my 4 die cuts I haven't used over 1 1/2 years. please help!

[@anitalegardye6204]

Stacey, Stacey, What a teaching video...I learned something new....to see you use the Big Shots on the Craft Sheet and how your Big Shot Machine did not move...I just love how it works....Gonna claim either one of the Big Shots, not choicey....Keep up the great job you do....Love watching you.....Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!!...

[@paulinelewis5342]

Thank you, Thank you for this tutorial

[@MrsGMJacobs]

I had so many questions, now I think I have most of the answers. Kinda long, but well worth the time. Thank you Stacy and all the SMS staff.

[@mariaaguilar5289]

i did not realize sandwiches would be different on plus so thanks for the heads up! Some good reminders too!

[@mariaaguilar5289]

Would love to have a big shot plus to make frames and larger favor boxes!

[@ktmoore1960]

Stacey if it weren't for you I would not have purchased a Big Shot Machine and I Love it and can't thank you enough for all of the tutorial from the first video and now this video. I have learned so much!! You are a doll!!!

[@WestCoastScrapperRN]

Great refresher vid Stacey! I still get a kick out of you saying, "the goosh and knock-knock plates"...I'm sure the Sizzix/Ellison people cringe every time they hear that! LOL...And wouldn't it be great if I won a Big Shot Plus Machine!!!??? Happy Scrapping!

[@ScrapbookingMadeSimple]

+WestCoastScrapperRN Yes...They cringe and scold me every time! It is like we are the North Going and South Going Zax from the Dr. Suess Story...It seems that we are at an impasse as I wont stop saying "goosh" and "knock knock" until they make them in different colors!!!! Tehehehehe! Stacey

[@judydawson1256]

I would love the Big Shot Plus.

[@WestCoastScrapperRN]

+scrapmadesimple LOL...you are such a rebel!!! :)

[@roseharris8528]

I’ve been trying to do the embossing folders. Doing just what it says. It will not roll through and I don’t have the money to go buy another bunch of stuff. Was told today use my rolling pin. Lol it works

[@BellaDemera]

Would love to own a BigShot Plus real soon. Thanks a million for your tutorials.

[@carolynwilson9782]

This is my second comment. I got so mixed up on which plate to use for want. I watched your video twice and was able to make an outline. Now I can just glance at the outline and know exactly what to do. Thank you so much!!

[@LadyShadow118]

love the way you "teach," so engaging and fun! :) and it would be great to win the Sizzix Big Shot Plus

[@gloriameyer1667]

I love all your you tubes, I learn so much from. By watching them you have inspire me try new things and to be more creative. Thank you again Stacy

[@vickylee2707]

Just recently found you on youtube! Love your videos :) can you tell me if the vagabond 2 can do everything that the big shot does?

[@blessedbeauty11]

I cannot tell you how much you have helped me! I have so much product and I did not know what to do with it but thanks to you, I finally know what to do with it. Yes, my pocket is lighter but at least I can craft with confidence. The bad thing is, we cannot stop buying from your store! Oh well, off to buy more from your store! Thanks!

[@angelamoon2640]

I just lOve yoUr lauGH, loL!!!

[@stylesformiles79]

I love your videos. You give a great deal of knowledge in each video. If I were starting from scratch or I'm an experienced crafter, your channel is the one to watch! I couldn't imagine winning a Big Shot. What a treat that will be for one of your wonderful friends/customers. Thanks for the great videos.

[@Dahna_]

omg that laughing when nothing is funny

[@mzfierywoodsprite2511]

Another wonderful informative mini class. I always learn something from you and recommend your youtube channel to my friends. Thank you for explaining the different new platforms and gadgets! Didn't know what they did until watching this! Your a great teacher and I love that you can give your own honest opinions! I trust that! Love your new dies too! If I am a winner, a big shot plus would be great. Your the reason I own a Sizzix brand machine to begin with!

[@larrydeyoung3508]

This you tube was very helpful, probably the best one I've ever watched. I've been cutting wafer dies wrong and now I know how to do it the right way.Thank you so much.

[@sondrahall1238]

Wonderful, so much great information, thank you so much for updating this machine. Now I know I would like the big shot plus, it really will do so much more now that they are coming out with product that is wider and longer. Thanks again! Sandy H.

[@judybivens8103]

Even though I have used a Sizzix Big Shot for many years, you still taught be something new. I wanted to know about the Big Shot Plus and you were very informative. Thanks for a great KZbin. Looking forward for you next KZbin.

[@merialsmartt2874]

Stacy, thanks for the updates. I first found you and your store while searching for how to use the multipurpose platform and learned so much from your first KZbin. I now watch all of your videos and my friends think I am an expert. I always refer them back to you! I feel as if we are friends and cannot tell you how much you have added to my crafting expertise. Thank you seems so inadequate.

[@MsBlumenfrau]

Oh what a great tutorial. I didn't know about all those accessories before. I definitely need to go shopping at your store. Love every part of this video :) Thank you!!!

[@jesseb5112]

Your video from a few years ago is one of the reasons I chose a big shot. Thank You! I love it!

[@gailburke3961]

Pick me, pick me to win a Sizzix Big Shot Plus!!!! I am so grateful for all your wonderful tips and how to's. I paused and called my sister during the youtube to tell her she had to watch this, this information is priceless! I love that you explain in detail all the different plates and what they are for - it gets soooo confusing knowing what you need to buy. I wish I could afford to have one of everything. My husband would tell you that I come close. He has come to understand that you are only as good as your tools. I desperately wish that the you tubes had dates so we know when they came out and how current they are. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and insight!!

[@jenniferjackson4241]

Thank you Stacey for taking the time to update us on all the new tools we can use with our machines. I would love a new big shot.

[@pattibomgardner1054]

This youtube is jammed packed with wonderful information. It took 2 sittings to watch it all. I am going to file this away for the future. Thanks again for the opportunity!

[@sherriep2630]

This video was full of great information. The big shot plus will hopefully be my next new tool. Always enjoy and learn new things from these videos.

[@maureencharlessparrow8230]

influenced by you I bought the plus and it was a big jump from the cuttlebug. I just love it. I also bought from staples, a hanging file folder which I stand vertically and it stores all the plates and magnetic platforms. smaller footprint on your working surface and leaves the workplace so tidy.

[@sandysuarez8692]

Nice to know what the machines do. I would love to get one so I could use the large embossing folders. I have lots of the old sizzix dies and still use them on my scrapbook pages and cards. Thanks for your fun videos and sharing your knowledge on the machines and other crafting tools. :)

[@deborahivie3063]

Thank you so much for all the information. I have only been paper crafting for about 2 years. Being retired it is hard to find out about the new products except on KZbin from instructors like your self. I live in a small town and the store owners can't answer most of my questions and their items that they have in the store are not up to date. I have the Sizzix Big Shot and your information has been such a help. I will be more confident when I use it. Would love the Big Shot Plus but would like for you to give it to another person that is also retired so that they can also enjoy the wonderful crafting tool that is Sizzix.

[@theresekiernan9733]

I thoroughly enjoyed your last do's and dont's video, however, this one has helped me immensely as to which machine to purchase, I love the Big Shot Plus machine, thank you so much for ALL your informative videos and your laughter, I love them you make crafting a lot of fun Stacey!!!

[@phillipmarsh4886]

I love you! I love your Video's! I love your store! and I'd love a Big shot plus!!! You have always been so kind to help show the hows and such with your you tubes. And I just love to watch and hear your laugh! Thanks Stacy!

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Hi Stacey. Wow! Without a script or teleprompter, YOU did a fabulous job. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful information about the Big Shot machines and accessories! As I already have a Cuddle Bug Machine., if I were so fortunate to win, I would prefer the Big Shot Plus. Good Luck to everyone! Enjoy your day.

[@diannemeyer6332]

Yup...learned a bunch of new things.. mainly I have a crease pad...NOT the hard knock knock...no wonder things didn't turn out quite like I expected! I would love a basic 'Big Shot'...for when my grand daughter is crafting with me...love these classes and Love your laugh! Made my day!!!

[@virginiaolson7654]

Yes it was a long video, but so informative. I really learned a lot.Thanks for being such a good teacher. I live so far away in Upper Peninsula of Michigan and will probably never meet you but I feel you are my teacher and i really do know you.

[@AspenCreekLarkspur]

I would love the Big Shot Plus. Thanks for the video--I watched it over several days with my morning coffee. Thanks for starting the days out right!

[@ityuno]

I'd love to win either Sizzix machine but if I really had to choose, I'd say the Big Shot Plus. You are so generous not only with your give-a-ways but also the time and care you take to put up these informational videos. I have learned a great deal following your techniques. Thank you!

[@leticiacastro4492]

I own the Vintaj BIGkick, it has the extended base, beginner here, thank you, very informative with the "squishi" and the "knock knock" I accidentally bought the"knock knock" thinking it was like your "do not cut (purple) plate" now I need go get the "squishi" to emboss

[@MrBrockbelinda]

I love your watching your videos. it always makes my day a little brighter with your bubbly personality. I learned a lot about the big shot and would love to have one the smaller one. that would make my year.

[@marchellecometh8462]

Fun to see the update. In fact the Orig. Sizzix video you did a few years ago is how I found you and have been shopping with you and the SMS gals since!!!! Thank you for once again educating us and keeping us laughing. And it would be great if I could be ever so lucky to win A big Shot PLUS Machine. woo hoo

[@momofisher2429]

You are the best of the best. Loved your tutorals and your store is absolutely the best place in Southern California. Loved meeting you and the staff and highly recommend everyone go see. Your favorite fan from Culver City.

[@poodlemama2286]

Wow what a video, loved it! I did not realize all the different platforms Sizzix made. I would love the Big Shot Plus, but who wouldn't. Thanks for the video.

[@janetnelson1210]

Great job, Stacey. I thought I knew it all and I learned some new things. I took some notes, too. If I were lucky enough to win, I would want the Big Shot. My daughter was visiting me for 3 weeks this summer and she was using my Big Shot and fell in love with it. She uses a Cuttlebug in upstate NY, where she lives. I would gift the Big Shot to her. Thanks for all you do.

[@sandramccollough563]

Love your video's and now I understand the differences of my two machines!! I love using them both for larger folders and dies and my old standby's that I have had for awhile!

[@susang6193]

Fiskar's Fuse user who has tried the sizzix items. Happy to see the larger embossing folders and dies. I like hearing your teaching videos. I like the smaller sizzix machine.Thank you.

[@katiemcwaters530]

I have seen your 1st "Dos and Don'ts" and am very happy to see this update for the newer products especially the foiling part. I got my "Plus" machine when you first introduced them to us in a You-Tube video and I love, love, love it. I have both the Big Kick and the Big Shot Plus. What I really need are new clear plates for the Big Shot Plus. Oh well maybe they will come out with some soon. Can not wait to see #130.

[@TheKkathy]

Thank you for all of the Do's and Don'ts. I've been really struggling with a larger die that also embosses and you showed me the exact way to get it cut and embossed!! I would love the Big Shot Plus!

[@CassandraWebstersPage]

Thank you SO much for this video, Stacey! I've watched the previous "Do's and Don'ts" and it's so great to see some of the new tools in action!! A Big Shot Plus machine would be simply amazing!

[@kathleensakorafos4248]

What a great Video, all the tools explained in one place. It was great to get the refresher course on the different pads I have them all and this makes it easier to find the instructions. Love both machines, would love to be able to give a gift to my sister of the Big Shot Plus Machine if I win. Thank-you Stacey for the wonderful work you do and sharing it with us.

[@deann_murphy1]

Thank you for going over the do's and don'ts again. I had totally forgot about the crease pad that I have, I was wondering why my score line's kept getting cut. Thanks again.

[@cathybyrd6731]

Hi Stacy and SMS ladies. I enjoyed the do's and don't's demo on these amazing machines. Your honesty on all the items you test and show examples of ( testing your die for warping, the platforms and plates ) is greatly appreciated. I always look forward to your videos. If i have any luck of winning I'd like to own the big shot plus. I can't wait to see what sizzix will create to use with this bigger machine. Have a wonderful day :)

[@karenmcdowell1662]

WOW!! Thank you so much for explaining the different uses of all the plates and techniques. I just purchased my Big Shot and really appreciate you taking the time to demo all this machine is capable of doing. Can't wait to get started. I would love to win the Big Shot Plus. Thanks again for sharing.

[@joycegoode1553]

Joyce G Thank you for all the information on the different pads for the Big Shot, I have them all, but didn't know what to do with them. Now hopefully I will be able to use them the right way. I would be very thankful if I won the Big Shot Plus, there are so many of the larger dies I'd like to use and I need the Big Shot Plus to do that.
