The Sidekick is a handy mini machine that can both die-cut and emboss, meaning it cuts and creates relief. It's smaller and lighter than a standard die-cutting machine like the Big Shot. It can be used to cut various craft materials like paper and cardstock. It's the ideal tool for creating small crafts for cards or invitations, scrapbook pages, home decor, art, and more! Suitable for beginners and advanced users. The machine's opening is 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) wide. Its compact size also makes the Sidekick easy to take with you, for example, to a workshop or on vacation. Machine dimensions: 19.7 x 12 x 8.9 cm.
