Can I use my Sizzix Originals or Ellison Dies with the Sidekick?
No. The Sidekick is designed exclusively for use with low-profile (thin, flat) dies. Can I use my Sidekick with other lowprofile (thin, flat) dies? Yes. The Sidekick is compatible with other lowprofile (thin, flat) dies. Due to the difference in thickness between Sizzlits Dies and other low-profile dies, you will need to sandwich a plastic backing between the Cutting Pad and the backside of the die. Then place the paper to be cut over the die, and sandwich the remaining Cutting Pad on top of the paper.
