I already have the sizzix big shot which I bought about 20years ago and it’s still going strong but I wanted something smaller to keep on my desk to cut out the smaller dies which I use a lot more now as I make mini journals The cutting plates are very strong and don’t bend like other brands. The plates are 6and a half cm wide or 2 and a half inches wide so it is small. But it’s is value for money, it’s light and its portable. To cut intricate dies the machine handled it well I only had to pass the ‘sandwich’ through once and it cut perfectly first time didn’t need a shim. I’m really pleased with it and I can see myself using this a lot. I would recommend if you are new to crafting and want to have a try at die cutting , this little machine would be great, but if you want to cut bigger dies for say A5 cards I would invest in a larger machine, depends what you need to cut either way Sizzix is a reliable brand I have always used their products without a problem you get a 2 year extended warranty if you register your product online but I can see this product lasting many more years Nice to have thought just in case.

After taking the plunge I decided to go with a brand name that I knew rather than one of the cheaper versions. This handy little machine was very easy to use with clear instructions and I have already had successful first-time attempts using it. This machine is ideal for embellishments rather than for cards cutting. I have several pieces of smaller offcuts and this has meant I can use up scrap paper rather than using whole sheets. It has definitely been worth the money and as it also comes with some dies I was able to get crafting straight away. I can see that in the future I will buy a larger machine that will take A4 sheets. This is a brilliant little gadget that has opened up another avenue to card making and because it is so quick and easy to use, it means I will be able to produce more cards. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit 661770 Portable Manual Die Cutting & Embossing Machine for Arts & Crafts, Scrapbooking & Cardmaking, 6.35 cm Opening, 2.5" Opening, White - Lapoo 3D Backgrounds Frame Metal Cutting Die for Scrapbooking, New Cutting Dies DIY Album Card Making Decor Paper Craft Metal Die Cuts Party Wedding Decorations (Various Labels 6.2 x 5.1 in) - INFUNLY 15pcs Holiday Word Dies for Card Making Happy Mother's Day Greeting Die Cuts Happy Birthday Metal Phrase Dies for DIY Scrapbooking for Sizzix Spellbinders Gemini Die Cut Machine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/53313746-sizzix-portable-sidekick-manual-die-cutting-and-embossing-starter-kit](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/53313746-sizzix-portable-sidekick-manual-die-cutting-and-embossing-starter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
