The Sizzix Large Shot (BigKick) is like a press, exactly where you lay down a die and paper on a platform and apply stress, in order that the design and style is cut in to the paper or what ever material you happen to be applying. The platform is now quite big and may accommodate quite a lot any other brand of die out there alone, or with an adaptor. So Sizzixs Sizzlits can also be employed with this machine, as well as the entire variety of existing Sizzix dies.
