Today I will be reviewing the Big Kick by Sizzix and Doll Frills "4 up" Doll Shoe Die.
I decided to combine these reviews into one posting because let's face it...I cannot see my life going on from here without this duo! 😉
Without further delay...I am in love with both!
Big Kick is the manual cutting machine, purchased to aid me in constructing doll shoes for the Journey Girls all over the world! It along with a unique find in the Doll Frills "4 up" have already begun to do just that! Basically, they are a one-two punch. Certainly the Big Kick can do so much more. There is an entire world of craft cutting dies and templates.
With this mission to create doll shoes for Journey Girls, I find it specific and straight to the point. There is no need to invest several hundreds of dollars in a machine that may never get used to its potential. Besides, I really have enough machines going on over here that have yet to boast their potential. I certainly do not need another, considering electronic devices with computer aided software receives frequent updates. I would hate to buy one of those fancy blade cutting do-dads, along with its even pricier companion pieces, only to discover that the the components are 'old'.
Waiting and making a rational decision on the Big Kick and reserving my interest in the doll shoe die served my purse and conscience well!
Big Kick has two companion nylon/acrylic pads used as shims, which guide and allow the Doll Frills shoe die to do its magic by cutting perfectly through your textures of foam, felt, cotton, leather, vinyl, plastic, tag board, card board, etc.
It also has a multi-purpose large extended platform that details instructions for its use.
In short, I am very pleased with both purchases. The owner of Doll Frills was amazingly supportive and provided excellent communication with answers to my questions about the products ability to work with my Big Kick. Along with the die cut purchase came free a free doll sandal tutorial. I have not used it yet, but I reviewed it. I am excited to try it.
In the meantime, the ideas that I have put together while building the shoe manufacturing department are finally getting leave from sketch to product. Here is a sample of what I am working on currently...
It looks like the factory opened in July as planned and production is off to a great start!
