Can I make the card with straight edges too or does it have to be scalloped? Can I use a Sizzix Big Shot basic.

The die is scalloped; so, no, you can't cut straight edges. I have been using this in my Cuttlebug.....just bought a Big Shot; so, the BS will be absolutely fine. Hope this helps!

Hi Lovelylady,Thank you for your inquiry!Manufacturer states that they can use card stock as long as the paper is no thicker than 11 mils. Some of the papers in our catalog will state the mil thickness.BisonOffice

You can customize, no place postage here mark.I made two sided instruction cards that came out great.

For kids perhaps, but to make them look like real playing cards you would want to print on a glossy stock and definitely thicker than this stock. This is good for a casual invite, business cards, etc.. I'd look for 120lb if you could find it or a specialty stock.

No, eclips has their own program. You can however use SVG files to cut. I recommend against this machine. Mine only lasted 18 months and then didn't work properly. I called Sizzix and they basically told me that the machine was out of warranty and I just should buy another one... Yeah right! I spent close to $300 on this now paper weight. Get a Cameo instead.

I would purchase one with a metal plate. It seems to have problems embossing paper card stock.

Depends on the size die you have -- the widest die I could use was 6 inches. For example a 6 inch star. If you want to invest get the larger Big Shot that you can use 8.5 wide card or paper!

Hi Eleanor, No it won't work in the original machine. I just checked the Sizzix website for this item and it doesn't show that machine as being compatible with this die set.

Hi - I'd never heard of an Ellison AllStar machine until now. I looked it up and it looks pretty much identical to the Big Shot. So - I can see no reason the Sizzix Framelit dies wouldn't work. I also saw a picture of a retired AllStar machine, which does not look like a Big Shot - and in the description it says, " ... cuts a wide variety of materials with AllStar Standard and Sizzix Bigz. This tells me the framelits could be used with your machine. It's just another die, only very thin. The framelits work perfectly with the Big Shot. Complete Business Systems carries Ellison and Sizzix products. You could call them at 1-888-959-9766 for ultimate confirmation.

I would think so. You can use the stencil on card stock for a nice outline. The stencil is to make an outline of the shape/object, there is no detail (I.e eyes, fins, leaves) you would sketch that in if you are looking for more detail.

First, not all 110# card stock is made alike. You need to make sure to use long grain, and the flexibility should be pretty high.Second, you may have to manually feed it. The sharp curve on pickup is likely to jam from the tray because of the physics.Third, you may have to post-fuse the toner. A clothes iron on "wool" (highest heat) behind a sheet of cooking parchment does a nice job.

You need to contact the seller of this to get the proper shipping charges. As for using other brands of die cuts in this as far as I know you can use Sizzix and Spellbinders.

Maybe? I imagine it would be a difficult undertaking.Due to there size and there being a kinda glossing finish to one side. However, It might work. But, If your finding difficult to find good custom card choices. You should look into "Personalize Blank Playing Cards" here on http://amazon.com, or cloud buy some thing call card stock and cut it yourself or you just go with these Blank Playing Cards and see how they work out for you. It just depends on what kind effort you want put into it.

I make a lot of cards, and prefer the textured stock to regular for general purpose cards. I use the photo stock when putting a photo on the front of the card. I also have feathered edge stock, but sometimes have trouble getting it to feed in the printer. I never use regular, which seems a little flat and uninspired. Hope this helps.

You will get a very classic embossed look on white paper. Thick cardstock is a littler harder. You will have to press very tightly - I had to have a strong male do it for me. I also used one for metallic seals - and got a great print - but also hard to press. Works best on a regular 20# paper. Love the embossing - and have bought several.

Hi again. Have kust seen cuttlebug on create and craft tv. If you just use the 2 clear cutting plates without the thick white platform, you CAN use the sizzix bigz dies in cuttlebug. Apologies for the confusion. xx natasha

I think the Wizard only takes the thin dies, and so this one would not work. However, Sizzix has new flip-it dies which are called Framelits, and some are Stephanie Barnard designs similar to the one pictured.
