Sizzix “Multi-Purpose Platform”- Introduction The “Multi-Purpose Platform” is a must for using the Sizzix Big Shot (except when you are using the “Originals”, “Originals XL” and “Bigz” dies - these dies are very thick to begin with). The platform is like a book with 3 pages. Each page is a layer to help regulate the thickness of the stack you are putting together to use in the machine. The thickness of the stack is important for success of the item being cut or embossed. On each page there is information and images as to which dies or embossing folders/ embossing plates should be used for that particular page.
The top page layer is to be used for wafer thin dies.

Sizzix Cutting Plates You will practically always need these cutting plates for the Big Shot, no matter if you are cutting or embossing with the Multi-Purpose Platform or using the thick “Originals” dies. These also help regulate the thickness of the stack. You will notice that after cutting on these for some time, shapes of the cut images start to show on the plates. There is no way to avoid this. If you are planning to emboss the motif afterwards, then these will disappear. Otherwise, you can buy a second set of plates and use them only when you want to die cut a motif that you are not planning to emboss afterwards. Also you do not have to always place the dies in the center of the plates. You can use any part of the plate. Lastly, both sides of the plate can be used. If one side is looking shabby, you can turn it around and place the other side against your paper. Then it will take longer until these plates are also full of imprints.

For the extra long dies, you will need the Sizzix Solo Platform and Accessories The Solo Platform can be used also instead of the Multi-Purpose platform for all your cutting and embossing needs. It is a must, though when using the extra long “Bigz L” oder “Bigz XL” or the long Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strips. Depending on what you will be doing, you may also need a “Solo-Shim” and/or a “Solo Thin Die Adapter” as well.

Sizzix Solo Platform Just like the “Multi-Purpose Platform”, this Platform is used to regulate the thickness of the stack you will need to die-cut or emboss. By using only this Platform along with two clear Sizzix Cutting Plates you can use the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to emboss the cover of a folded card. This platform is also to be used alone with two clear cutting plates when you wish to emboss thick material with the Sizzix Texturz Texture Plates You should never use more than one die or folder at a time when using the platform. You may cause damage to your machine.
