Exciting Changes on the Horizon!

You’ve probably heard of our sister brand, Sizzix. Established in 2001, the popular Sizzix brand was created to deliver the wonders of die-cutting to the arts and crafts market. Since then, Sizzix has continued to be a market leader in this field for over 20 years. Our Sizzix Bigz dies have been sold into the Education market for many years and in 2022, we introduced the Sizzix Big Shot machine, a firm favourite with makers across the globe. With cutting pads and an additional platform included as standard allowing you to use other types of dies and embossing folders, the Big Shot machine offers educators versatility and value for money.

With the same brand values and stellar engineering and manufacturing, Sizzix provides the same quality die-cutting machines as Ellison Education wrapped up in a sleek and contemporary design. For over 40 years we’ve been by your side, creating engaging displays and classroom support to create an exciting and creative learning experience, and the Sizzix brand is here to enhance this experience even further. With new technologies set to launch in 2024, Sizzix will become a one stop shop for all your die-cutting needs within the classroom.

Our new product catalog in compromised of both Ellison Education and Sizzix products, to allow us to support all creative pursuits and classroom needs. Curated to feature our most popular items and shapes that support a varied range of making occasions, seasons and themes. With SureCut dies, Bigz dies, and new to you, Framelits and Thinlits dies, this perfectly curated selection has everything you need for making in the classroom.
