Getting a BIG Kick out of my new toy!

post from Aileen's Musings on 08 January 2012 08:35:16 PM. © Aileen's Musings

I recently took the plunge into the world of die cuts and bought a Sizzix BIGKick, and man am I getting a big KICK out of using it :-)
I had been wondered about the various die cutting machines for awhile now, but it all seemed so overwhelming. I pondered over which one was best, and which one did what, as they came out with new ones. I kept waiting and wondering afraid I would make the wrong decision and regret it. Then I found a comparison chart that really helped me to decide (click HERE to view it). I had already decided that I didn't want an electric one that could have things possibly go wrong or break on them, nor did I want one that was going to cost an arm an a leg. I also didn't want one that I had to think real hard about how to use it, at this point in my life, I just wanted to be able to take it out of the box and create (in the past I would have embraced the challenge of learning something new...I'm beyond that thrill now). What I really love about the BIGKick is that it can take all different dies and impression plates from various companies and with really very little effort you can crank it through.
I had a cardboard 6 pack bottle carrier that I saved from Thanksgiving (it had such great graphics on it), and created a autumn themed card using my BIGKick. I first chose one of the dies from my Spellbinder's Nestabilities (Label Eight) and cut out the basic shape then used a flower die from Sizzix to cut out the flower. I also put the orange bottle cap through the BIGKick to squish it.And it went from that to...

Yep, I'm am loving my new toy.
