Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit 661770 Portable Manual Die Cutting & Embossing Machine for Arts & Crafts, Scrapbooking & Cardmaking, 6.35 cm Opening, 2.5" Opening, White

Awesome 👍🏻

This is a small machine that is easy to access on the table along with all the papers n more things on it. It is good to cut out cute little embellishments or sentiments for cards. The tag dies and all along with it are great to use as with all things Tim Holtz. I didn't have a die cutting machine so this was a good start!

Excellent.. it’s the genuine product and received it quickly. Trustworthy seller.

It’s a beautiful mini machine .. helpful full for easy crafting .

This is my second Sidekick as I have used the first so much I wore it out. The item is very useful for all those tiny bits in craft cutting dies. Well made and came with some useful number does. Only thing that was not good was the state of the packaging which was torn and filthy dirty. Looked like it had come from the back of an old garage. Luckily contents ok

I purchased this, because I wanted a smaller machine, not always hauling out the Bigkick I have. It fits most of the smaller dies which I think is key to making it useful. I picked this one instead of the white version, because I liked the accompanying dies better, they are more useful, yet would have preferred white as the machine. It comes with the plates and embossing plate - you can get started with it immediately. It is sturdy when you put the leaver down. I was very happy about that! There are "side order" sets (small die sets) which are cute, but have limited use (IMO) and are a bit fiddly unless you put some sort of adhesive on the back of your cutting material. They are also a bit expensive in Canada. However, the embossing folders that come with them are good. Any thin "strip-type" regular embossing folders will also fit - like the ones that come with cricut folders. I was trying to make my own embossing template (as I often do with the bigkick), but don't always get the right sandwich or impression, depending on the material used. Still experimenting with that. I broke the plate that came with the machine while doing this - yeah!... But I purchased a couple more from Scrapbook.com. Depending what you are doing and if you need embossing - you may still have to take out your larger machine. I still think it is great for a lot of the smaller dies when you are just doing something small and quick while using up small scraps from your stash.

The machine is smaller than I thought it would be but is works will and the outcomes I am getting I am pleased with

It is SMALL! But, that is what you want. It fits most word dies and butterfly, dragonfly and stuff like that. It is only 2.5 inches wide, so small dies fit fine. I love it because of its size. Some people said it was too small, but if you know what to expect you won't be surprised by that. It is so portable and nice to bring with to card making parties! I would highly recommend this item. I did try a different one first and it would not cut. This one has no problem cutting any of my dies I have tried in it. It will leave marks on the plates, but that is normal. At some point you will need to order new cutting plates.
