Stacy, your first Sizixx Do's and Don't class is what got me excited about Sizixx and card making. I had to buy the machine and tools and of course the dies!! The year before last I made Christmas cards for my Family and had a lot of fun doing it. Covid hasn't been that hard for me personally, because I just go in my crafty space and create. Thanks Stacy for taking the time to do such a great class! 🤗

[@jenniferolson1449]

Your original Do's and Don't Big Shot video is how I came across your channel years ago! Now I look forward to your videos every week!

[@stormyswann6177]

I watched this a year ago and bought the big shot. This is fantastic to now (re) learn so much. Thank you

[@ellenherrmann3343]

Dear Stacey, You do such an excellent job of explaining how to do all the different things you can do with the Big Shot. You are so thorough and patient in instructing us how to use it properly. I've used mine for several years but absolutely enjoined this refresher course. The Dept. of Licensing should have you do a refresher course for drivers. Ha!

[@charlottevanstraten339]

I agree: to teach. That is why I love watching you. Even if I am too poor. I can apply the techniques to the supplies I already have and dream about the ones I do not have! I like the concepts. Thanks Stacey👏👏👏👏

[@ritabrown6569]

Thanks Stacy...Love your videos. Your fab-bu--lous!! Vintage Lady Cincinnati

[@ardisholt2442]

Hi, Stacy. I really enjoy watching your you tube classes. I have been paper crafting for about 15 years. I always find something I can use in my crafting. I think sometimes the smallest tips are the most useful. Also like your products and the samples that your staff makes. You have some really talented people working for you. I admire you for hanging in there in spite of all you have been thru, not only in your personal life as well as your business in this difficult time. Thank you again!!💞

[@nancywlawson7352]

The best instructions on the Sizzix Machines I have ever seen. Thanks for showing me how much I can do with my Sizzix that I have had for years.

[@dmatt6266]

I have had a big shot from waaaay back and it is still going strong! I still love my little embosslits!! You never know what size of a die you will need so they come in handy for a little embellishment. I also agree with you about the small cutting plates coming with the long cutting pad. When I first saw this I thought it was a mistake. I have had the long extension platform and cutting plates for many years as I have many of the 12" long foam dies and still use them. To me this was so much easier than picking paper out of tiny places. In fact I still use the old narrow plates with my small sidekick. Tools like these should never go out of style. There are always newbies just starting out in papercrafting that would love them too. So, thank you another wonderful video and thank you to Sizzix for producing wonderful products all these years!

[@mamaduck5981]

Good morning Stacey! The best part of the weekend is here with you. My 93 year old mother, Cory, loves to listen to you laugh, it makes her day happier. Whenever I watch any other instruction video she looks for you. I guess your my moms favorite

[@andreamcclelland3152]

Another Grand Slam out of the park, Stacey! Thank you so very much as a 25 year veteran of card making, I LOVE Stacey's sharing of tools I've had for years that I am more excited as well as now able to use BETTER!!!!! Love you so much!!!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I got the standard machine many years ago and a couple of years ago I was given the plus machine as a gift! I have to admit that I still use the standard one the most often!

[@conniewilliams9622]

I love that you did an update on the bigshot and more. I have all the old stuff and the new stuff too. Had forgotten all the good stuff I already have. I always look forward to Sat. for your classes. Thanks for all you do.

[@carolpope1145]

I have both the small and plus machines but i am always ready to hear new and old things of the do’s and don’t’s.. Love and still use both. My first was the black with pink. I still love that machine with the flower that has some bling on it. Lol that was many years ago. I listened to your old do’s and don’t’s. I think I started watching you when you were at about number sixty u tube.

[@Stahlmaks]

Really great video!! Thank you for demonstrating ALL the different things that work with the Big Shots!! I have gotten some of the older die cuts and have played a little but now I can do so more confidently!! Also, thank you for making it 1 video!! Yes, I had to split it up, but that's not a big deal!! Really appreciate your love and compassion for what you do!! You're fun to watch and truly give me the energy & motivation to get going with my crafting :) Blessings to you and your team!!

[@ednam7]

Wish I'd have seen this before I got my first Big Shot. Very helpful to people just learning. So I've used all of these dies and still have them. And I learned as I went. Love the Precision base plate and use it a lot. Learned one thing, to not use the precision plate with the plus or fold away. Good things to know. Thanks for showing us how to use everything. Long but worth-wild.

[@sherrylshelton2976]

I love all Sizzix Products! These bundles are the best deal for those starting out. This is a really good video for those just starting and reminders for those that may have forgotten. Thank you Stacey.

[@angelajennings9401]

I just love how beautiful and simply you explain everything. Love listening to you. And thank you x

[@BarbaraHolmes99]

When your having fun while learning it does not seem like it's two hours! Great job Stacey!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I watched the whole video twice! So much quality information! Thanks!

[@lharvey55]

I bought my big shot after watching one of your previous you tube classes - living in Australia there are so many things that we can’t get (wax paper being one!) and easy access to scrapbook supplies at a reasonable price - so I have to be content watching your wonderful you tubes and being envious - thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and brightening my day .

[@rubyc1287]

Love your lessons on using the Sizzix machines and all the options we have with it and all the fun dies. I so appreciate your techniques.

[@lolarogers8530]

I've had my Big Kick (same as a Big Shot) for some time now but love that you continue to do updated Do's and Dont's so it incorporates changes that have occured. Newer buyers will have a new platform with their machine so your experience with what works and doesn't work provides much needed guidance. Nothing more frustrating than searching for how to videos and no one has an updated version using the newer tools.

[@wordscrafter]

I'm one of the newer die cutters (about 2 years or so) and I learned lots of things! Thanks so much for putting this together!!! 'Since dirt' cracked me up. You're a treasure. I've already placed 2 orders, lol. I may come back for third! Thanks so much for all you do - instruction, bringing products to us, all of it. Just thanks. XOXO

[@debbiemckelvey9754]

What a great class on the different Sizzix machines and tools. I have the Vagabond because of my RA and I love it. I learned a few things I didn't know and a great refresher for the things I did. Thanks for always giving us your honest opinion on products. That is one reason I watch your KZbin channel because I know it comes from the heart.

[@robertahicks3015]

I have had a Big Shot machine for a long time, but still enjoyed this video. A refresher course is always a good thing! Have a great day!

[@beckyshinlever5142]

I love the way you teach. You do not leave out a thing and make some of the same mistakes I do. I do not even mind the length of them it takes what it takes to explain it. I like knowing all the ins and outs from the beginning. Thank you.

[@sarahbrown8530]

Hello Stacey I so appreciate you doing this KZbin it’s great to get a refresher in dos and don’ts

[@darleefrye9268]

Long video. But definitely a good refresher. I have an hour to go. I hope you cover knock knock and squishy, as well as embossing folders. Thanks, Stacey, for taking the time to explain these things.

[@terrie1226]

congrats on those who will be buying them and hope you enjoy it......Thanks Stacey for helping those who need to do's and don't for this product...... Hope to see you on next week video.... be safe and stay healthy

[@603kimcrafts9]

I bought my first Big Kick machine about 19 years ago. I’m now up to one of each of the non-electric machines from Sizzix with the most recent addition of a pro this spring. You’re right, they are work horses! Fantastic video, you are such a good teacher.

[@shawnf648]

Congratulations ladies, I have been relaxing in a rather nice size kids Blow up pool, seeing were trying to stay home as much as possible, I am back from a much-needed healing process after the unexpected death of my almost 3 yr old passed away, I am glad to start crafting again. So I am on my way to the Warehouse SALE!!!

[@dorasanchez5075]

Hello Stacey thank you. I learned the best way to cut and embossed with less struggle without flipping my die.

[@judiwerner6259]

I have had MY Big Shot Plus for several years, and also find that it is my go-to machine. Neat trick about putting packing tape on those older dies! I’m headed to my craft room to dig mine out to tape them! While there, I will also look with renewed eyes at my steel rule dies. Thank you for a super informative reference video that I’m sure I will rewatch through the years to refresh my memory.

[@veemsee3230]

I am so glad you explained the vernacular "knock-knock"! Couldn't figure out why and how it got it's name. Also, explaining that the squishy and knock-knock replaced the do not cut plate helped me understand the sandwich so much better. Thank you.

[@elisebb8423]

Thank you, Stacey! You are the best!!! I bought a Big Shot machine a few years ago because of your recommendation, and thoroughly enjoy it! Yes, it is a work horse that I use almost daily!

[@cindymoreno6333]

nice job. I have seen several of your big shot videos before but having all information in one is great. Nice refresher for me. thanks again Stacey.

[@monicalinerode1783]

Great to have a review on all the Sizzix machines. Thanks for taking the time to do this class. Also it’s been a surprise to receive a free gift in my orders. Thank you for the gifts. They’ll be put to good use.

[@tessiesplett7641]

Always love your does and don’t class. You are the person that taught me everything when I first started.

[@booboo8115]

I can’t wait for this....My new Big Shot arrives on Friday!! This class is definitely FOR ME❣️❣️❣️

[@sharonb.7867]

Congrats to you! I am sure Stacey's class qill be amazing and you will LOVE your Big Shot!!

Thanks for all the big shot tips!

[@karengreig7013]

Yep I have been crafting forever/older than dirt crafter LOL. Just want to thank you for the refesher on the Big Shot machines......you reminded me of things I forgot!

[@nydiasegal6596]

Thank you. What a wonderful teacher you are. Excellent review and comparison of older and newer accessories.

[@maryvillegas6556]

This video is well worth saving. Unless I’m constantly, embossing, die cutting every day, I forget. Luv this dedicated to using Big Shot. As always, I learn, learn. Thanks.

[@lindadavis1087]

This was the first of your videos I’ve watched. I enjoyed it sooo much even though I’ve had die cutting machines for years. I laughed and laughed. And, I watched it from start to finish without a break. What a great way to spend two and a half hours! Thank you for being so entertaining.

[@thefaelix]

great work as always, Stacey. And your honesty regarding products and packaging is the best.

[@MandyM_81]

Love my Big Shot...it is a workhorse! So many great tips! Embossing folders are instant gratification! Love them!

[@gwenburns6011]

Love when you teach this class. I always learn something new and things sink in that didn't previously. Thank you!!!

[@loisfrancis7896]

[@gailwinkelman6591]

I finally can use my knock knock and squishy! I bought them a while back but then forgot why! Thanks so much for all your work to teach us new techniques!

[@NDCo8811]

Always good to have the most current info on BigShot machines. I learn so much from your classes Stacey- thank you!

[@mickeemickee3713]

This is so exciting! I'm new to this Craft and am so absolutely amazed at all the wonderful things that can be done with dies, folders, paints, sprays, you name it. And I'm so very glad I found your site. It had been a life changer for me. Thank you so much,

[@marcellachavez7153]

Love.... love... these types of classes. Thanks for the generosity of your time! 🤗

[@ninadowlin4938]

Thank you! You've given me confirmation that my standard "Big Shot" is the right machine for me. Plus lots of technique ideas!

[@fairythere]

Thank you so much for providing an invaluable resource for all of us paper crafters! You make learning fun!

[@donnagearing2156]

Its always great to revisit the way things are done on the die cutting techniques . Thanks I needed a brush up on them.

[@paulinesharp6973]

Thank you so much for such an informative KZbin, it's great to remind us how the machines and products work, stay safe, xxx

[@blakescovers5131]

Thanks for making a two and a half hour long ad. You must be a wonderful person...

[@jinkiedog8824]

Stacy, another great class. I totally enjoyed it and a refresher on the Big Shot is always good. I either learn something new from you, or you remind me what may have forgotten. Big Hugs! Stay Safe and Healthy!!

[@jimker155]

I always look forward to this video for a refresher. I go back multiple times a year because I’ve forgotten some tidbit or another. Thanks, Stacey!!!!

[@loymontgomery7050]

Very informative ! I was given the Big Kick as a gift. Love it ! And have most everything that you talked about except the Magnetic platform, that is my next " want" on my list I watch all your videos & have learned so much. Thank you for going step by step & explaining everything so well. And the sticky dots....they are GREAT !! Take care !

[@julian260674]

Belive im so happy just when you smile talk or smile you re amazing but i tell you this with so much respect , greetings from Mexico

[@betsy5931]

I just love your videos & your laugh. I've been watching for about a year or 2, finally made a purchase through your warehouse sale. Thanks so much for all you do! God Bless you & your family

[@marykettler8455]

I have the Sizzix Vintaj Big Shot machine. I got it to be able to emboss metal blanks. Now I can use it for my card making too.Wow! I am so glad I found your Scrapbooking Made Simple KZbin channel. I have a couple of orders in and am patiently awaiting their arrival. Thank you Stacey for your fun and informative Classes I watched this great video in segments and finished it this morning from 5:00- 6:15am. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.💙💙💙💙😊😊😊😊!!!!

[@debbieford6862]

Stacey - I love my Sizzix machines. I started years ago with the original little sidekick machine (all I could afford at the time). Moved to a Big Shot - I still have the pink and black model. Then last year my local Mom and Pop stores had the Big Shot Plus at a phenomenal price so I bought it. It is a great tool that lasts a long time

[@debraarnold2959]

What a great refresher course. I did not realize you are not to use the precision base plate with the big shot plus. However, after using it for an extended period, I went back the the original big shot because I usually do not need that extra size plate. Now it just waits in the closet for those occasional times it is needed.

[@marieschwarzl838]

Great update! A bit of nostalgia for me-I found you many years ago when I first got my Big shot and looked for help in learning what to do with it and found your first You Tube on the Big Shot. Been hooked on your classes ever since!

[@csthankful]

Thanks for showing adding package tape to the original Sizzix dies. I have some and never knew to do that! Thanks, Stacey!

[@dalaromo5]

Thanks for the tips. I did learn something new today as well as refreshing things I did know. Love your classes and look forward every week for them. Got my first 2020 warehouse order in and working on the second one.

[@deanannscott5366]

Great class Stacey! I bought some steel rule dies at a closeout sale but didn't know how to use them. Now my mantel will have gingerbread men garlands this Christmas. I have been crafting a long time and it is always nice to learn something new.

[@brendagentry5099]

I will stick with you for however long your KZbins classes are. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and just being you!!! Thank you for bringing us SMS!!! We love you❤️

[@cindymccabe6000]

I watched until the very end. Thanks for reminding me important facts about my big shot. It can be confusing when you don’t use it every day. Love your love for crafting.

[@sharimain7345]

Very informative....love all the options! I am on my second big shot...working towards the electric one! lol...love it..can't do without it!

[@donnahuntington6338]

Stacey, I purchased a Sizzix Big shot years ago after I found your youtube channel and you explained what the machine could do. I wish I would have found you channel before I purchased a electronic die cutting machine that does not let me use my steel rule dies. I purchased a digital die cutting machine at chrismas time and I still pull out my Sizzix Big Shot. I looked at your bundles and they are the best I have seen so far. I would purchase one but I already have 3 machines and I do not need another. You reminded me about some techniques that I had forgotten.

[@vayes7958]

This was a great class..... I've had a big shot for a number of years but there's always something to learn.... Thanks for the information Stacy...

[@janetcraughwell6599]

Thanks Stacey for all the great information about the machines and extra guarantees. Love and best wishes from Belfast xxx

[@karenreeves5801]

Great video. All of the tips are so welcome. I always learn something new when I watch one of your videos. Can’t wait to play with my Bigshot.

[@misscheesecake1952]

Hi Stacey..i stayed for the entire KZbin and I'm glad I did because I learned the differences between a Sizzlet and the other one ( can't remember the name right now). So thank you Stacey, eventhough I've been crafting about 5 years I learned something.

[@christinecharbonneau4448]

I got the Plus first. Love it. I can die cut a lot of things at the same time, and big dies. But I added the Express a few weeks ago to die cut at the press of a button after I realized how much I die cut. As my hands get more arthritic, I appreciate automation more! Thanks for all of this information Stacy!

[@greetingsinbraille.]

Thanks for the class. You were my first instructor starting out 4 years ago. Watched most of your videos. We love your laugh. 😆

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

I love my big shot machine! I use it more than my new cricut. Love your videos, helps remind me of the different ways of using what I have. Amazing sale again! Thank you!

[@sardiuspetersen]

Thank you for a long class. My husband died last Saturday and I’m so sad and lonely. I really needed the distraction . He used to always watch your class with me, so there were tears but there were moments when I could breath too. We were married for 31 years 💔

[@susiecomi7774]

This was a marathon class, and so full of information! Thank you Stacey♥️

[@tonyaburkman5061]

Thank you for this video. It taught me so much. I wanted something for my Big Shot Plus for my birthday and you showed me I didn't need it, you also showed me something that I did need.

[@janesprando3638]

This is one o the best KZbins on using the Big Shot and the various ways to use it!

[@mindygmagic]

Love the explanation of the squishy and the knock knock,, can't wait to play

[@constanzaortuzar2066]

It is my third time that I see this video where you teach how to use the big shot and as always I learned something new. Thank you

[@patwilliams9730]

Stacey-thank you, I learned a few new tricks like the packing tape on my sizzlets. I have my steel rule dies, sizzlets and many of the new ones. Great reminder to use them.

[@carib5870]

I shopped the Warehouse sale yesterday and filled my cart with goodies, but when I clicked "check out" all my stuff was gone. SO SAD :-( I had watched the terms and conditions so I knew my cart wasn't saving, but I wasn't holding them for later--I literally shopped and then clicked purchase. I decided that I can't shop it again because it wasted so much time to shop and then not be able to purchase which instead of making my heart happy it just made it so very sad. So I've decided that I will just keep enjoying Stacy's videos!

[@dianaericson6934]

You do so much to educate us about our Sizzix machine. I love my plus because I make books. Thanks for letting us know about so much.

[@sharonjames762]

I have a Cut N Boss. Used it for years and still learned things in this video.

[@Chellees]

I’ve had a Sizzix for a while, but have only used it twice.... I just didn’t know how to use it! Thank you soooooo much for this class!! I soooo needed this!!❤️

[@susangreffard8092]

Whoa... this was a loooong video ... but full of great information! Made note of times also for easy refresher (especially with squishy and knock-knock). Am trying to get a replacement handle for my Big Kick that broke off when it slid off my walker. Thank you for such a good video.

[@fazestorm4441]

I have to tell you this particular class was really informative and very hopeful that it was it's been awfully long bless your heart

[@AdropAsugar]

SOLD! Thank you so much for this video! As a newbie I was so intimidated trying to figure out which die cutting machine to get, if at all. So excited to get all my goodies from the shop!

[@joellenwyatt585]

You have, once more, given some really useful information. I especially liked the information about extending the warrant for two more years. I ordered the Big Shot Plus. WE figure it might get it in time for my birthday in April or Valentines Day, so Bobby can wrap it up to give me.

[@darlene2861]

Thanks you Stacey for the refresher. I love my Sizzix machine.

[@debrabartz3188]

Wow. Thanks. I wish I had this video back in February when I bought my big shot! I have managed to scuff up the edges of the plates and platform sending it through not quite lined up perfect. But learned a lot and can't wait to do more with embossing now

[@c_baker6006]

Thank-you for overviewing these machines again. Now that I’ve used mine for awhile I am hearing the details. And yes, I learned some things - no Precision Base Plate; &, take more advantage of the Magnetic Base Plate. I really appreciate your Saturday classes🤩. S

[@lynneb9946]

Good video for those new to die cutting. You can tell I am an oldie- I have steel rule dies, sizzlits, embosslits, squissy, knock-knock, emboss & cut folders, you name it.
