SizzixBigz 3-D Flowers By Beth Reames, Multicolour

I usually buy my Sizzix dies directly from the Sizzix website but for some reason it was cheaper here. The die is a regular bigz die size and the three stars are different sizes. The dimensions of the die is 5 1/2" x 6" x 5/8" and the star design sizes are as follows" The largest one is 3/4" x 1 3/4" and the second is 1/2" x 2 1/2", the third one is 1/4" x 3 1/4".I cut out cardboard stars as well as felt ones. They are a good size for scrapbooking, card making as well as many other projects. I am using them at a craft workshop where they are ideal for using to make Christmas tree decorations as well as putting them on gift tags.I have added photographs.

I've never seen one of these dies before as I'm fairly new to diecutting. I thought the die was in a "hip" metal box (typical of Tim Holtz) and proceeded to remove the foam. DON'T! You just need to put the die between 2 clear plates and run it through your Sizzix. I'm having fun piecing the foam back on like a jigsaw. Thankfully it still works.Read the instructions first!

I wanted this because of its size, but also because it cuts through card. I die cut many pieces from scrap packaging - biscuits, matzos, &tc wrappings, then colour to suit my needs. I know this will become a very useful addition for all sorts of special occasion cards

Love Sizzix, love Bigz dies and love Tim Holtz! A good size with a variety of uses for cards and scrapbooking - photo shows diecut used on a 6” (approx) square card.

So pleased to get this.Its been retired and is extremely hard to find. Well worth having. Being Sizzix bigz it will cut very efficiently. Rightup to very thick board (I find Amazon board is good. As is the backing from some packaging - the flat cardboard back with the paper envelope front). Cheaper than mid board too!)
