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.

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.
