Can Sizzix Bigkick Cut Leather??
Answer is ....
YES!!!
I have tested paper, cardstock, fabrics and felt. Since I am still new
to die cut, I am very curious about cutting different materials. So I always think how can I test. Then Leather came in my mind.
I have an used leather hanging around in the closet, I bought it long time ago at Goodwill for making soft sole shoes for my son (when he was a baby). So I decided to give a try.
This time I used Time Holtz Gadget Gears Die:

I cut off a small piece of leather from the leather jacket. It cut easily just like cutting the paper or fabrics. And the result is amazing, it is a very clean cut. The
gears look very nice. My hubby was very impressed.

I really love the leather gears. It looks better than paper or felt I have tried. The pattern on the leather adds a special touch. They are available at my
Etsy Store for purchase.
After I tested on Tim Holtz Gadget Gears Die, then I tried on another Tim Holtz Die Bird Cage. I am a little bit worried when I tested it, because this die has more "detail" and "small" part, I wasn't sure how it would turn out.

After I test on different leather piece, I noticed that the red leather left a lot of residues. It is not as clean as the brown leather. But by all mean, it is still a clean cut. I just need to wipe off the residue on the side.
I am very impressed with cutting Leather with Sizzix Bigkick. I never imagined that it would turn out so great.
