I just tested my new, mini die cutting machine, the Tim Holtz Sidekick by Sizzix. I think 75% of the die cutting I do is smaller than 2,5 inch. Early last year I bought a small die cutting machine, the DiamondPress. It was okay-ish, but I wasn't completely satisfied with it. Yesterday the scrapbook store had one Sidekick in stock, so I took it. I love it. It also works with the DiamondPress dies (it will work with all thinlet dies) and embossing folders.
It comes with a matching set of dies, stamps and embossing folder to make tags. So I think tomorrow's creative half hour will be spend making batches of birthday and Christmas gift tags. It's always good to have a bunch of those lying around.
