Wohoo! Watching this in 2020, I've just ordered one and can't wait for it to arrive. I was sooooo torn between the BigShot and this one, but I figured I would have a hard time storing and taking out the Big one all the time. So glad you called this out! I also mostly plan to use it for scrapbooking and cards, not planning on using any full size dies. If you're still around I'd love to hear how it turned out in the long run and how often you use it! Thanks for the video
Congrats on your new Sidekick.....great demonstration!!! You definitely will have lots of Craftabulous Fun!! Love your enthusiasm I got the Tim Holtz Sidekick so I know your excitement is truly real because I was so there and I do LOVE the sidekick it is all that and a bag of chips!! YOU SO ROCK!!

Hi SB.. thank you for your unboxing...i've been so,confused with all the die cut machines but you sold me on this...i just bought one a few minutes ago..because you gave me hope that I can use this machine and start using my cute die cut.. got the blue. .you are amazing..thanks from Colorado
Thanks for the review. I was thinking about picking it up, but wasn’t sure. I feel the same way. I never want to take out my big one, so I don’t use it. I think I would use the small one more often.
Hi SB, I have the red sidekick which I still love. Although I had to purchase some Adapter Plates in order to use my thin dies. So I'm wandering if the new cutting plates would work so I won't need my Adapter plates anymore 🤔hum
I just made an unboxing video of the Sidekick (yes yes, I'm late to the game). But now I've see yours I'll just refer people to your video. Haha. This is much much better than what I just filmed. 🤗
i just brought this...i have a cuttlebug and i agree with you about cutting out small dies..i have ali express dies which would fit...cant wait for mine to come ...tfs
Enjoyed the unboxing of the Sidekick. Is the major difference between the three Sizzix Sidekicks, the bundle which comes with each? Are they built and cut the same way? I can't decide which one to purchase. Thanks for any input.
hi nancy, thanks for watching! the machines are the same, except the color is different if you go with the Tim Holtz option. the only difference is the bundle, the one i got came with the most items in terms of dies and embossing folders.
Hi i do subscribe to you I was looking to see if you had a review on the sidekick and you did. I watched it and I ordered one for my small dies thank you so much.
Hi SB , I have the red sidekick which I still love ❤️! although I did have to purchase some adapter plates in order to use my thinlits dies ! Which I'm wandering if those new cutting plates would work so I won't have to use my adapters plates Hum 🤔?
I ordered this machine and I do not like it I felt I was tricked because I have to buy adjustable plates in order to use it with other diecuts I will return it!! I bought instead the evolution advance machine from “ We are memory keepers” LOVE IT because he’s adjustable and you can use it almost with any diecuts and embossing folder you would like

Where do you get embossing folders for this?
Hi, I have the original red sidekick, will the plates from the new sidekick fit the original red one.
Thank you,
Regards.
I wish Michaels would carry this. Do you know if any other retail stores carry it?
*Heather, did you ever get one? 😁😁😁* Sharon in SC
I can't wait to get in. Thanks. Judy
I want this ! Thank you for the review !
Can it cut hair bows with this like the faux leather
I don’t really want to buy the big one
This little machine is so cute
Why that happy birthday one is not working? Its hard to put
I had the red one when it originally came out. Quickly lost the plates to it. lol.
Cut foam?

I'd love to know this too, I have my pink Hello Kitty one still LOL but the two plates it came with are way too thin to cut my normal thin metal dies.
Si cute i want to buy it now 😃😃😃😃 thx for the review 😚
Can you use this machine tocut out leather ear rings.
Where can you buy dies for it
is a magnetic sheet necessary to hold the dies in place?
no, you can use washi tape like i do! thanks for watching!
not really, i just use washi tape because it is a small work platform to work with. thanks for watching!
Thank you

An added plus with the Evolution is the Sizzix cutting pads work with it :)
Thanks Serena!
