This curated lot features three complete Sizzix Sizzlits Alphabet Die Sets—Big Top, Bozo, and Funky Brush—delivering a high-energy collection of bold, whimsical, and artistic letterforms.
Because Sizzlits are legacy, compact plastic-backed dies that have long been retired by Sizzix, securing a bundle of three full font libraries provides massive creative utility for scrapbook titles, homemade cards, and paper crafts.
Deep Dive into the 3 Included Fonts
True to its circus-inspired name, this rare alphabet set features bold, blocky, attention-grabbing characters. It injects a sense of celebration, nostalgia, or performance energy, making it an excellent match for birthday parties, carnival visits, school plays, or parade layouts.
This highly coveted font features chunky, rounded bubble-style lettering. Because the characters are thick and soft, they are ideal for baby albums, kid crafts, pet pages, or lighthearted titles where you want a friendly, approachable aesthetic.
This 35-piece font set mimics stylized, hand-painted brush strokes. The letters measure approximately 1.5 inches tall and feature a dynamic, artsy layout. It is highly favored for arts-and-crafts journals, summer vacation spreads, or mixed-media titles.
Core Specs & Material Yields
- Multi-Shape Configurations: Each of these original boxed collections features 35 individual four-in-one die blocks. Each block houses a configuration of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.
- Single-Sheet Precision: These compact \((2\frac{3}{8}" \times 2\frac{5}{8}")\) dies use a localized chemically etched metal strip. They are engineered to cut exactly one sheet of lightweight paper, vellum, construction paper, or cardstock at a time.
- Double-Value Output: When you punch a word out of a paper scrap, save the negative strip. The remaining stencil windows can be used as mask templates for distress inks, chalks, or mist sprays on separate layouts. [1]
Machine Compatibility & Setup
These medium-sized legacy Sizzlit blocks can be processed smoothly through almost all generations of manual craft presses:
- Sizzix Sidekick: The ultimate compact tabletop setup. Slide your chosen font block face-up between two standard clear or aqua mini Sidekick Cutting Pads and crank it through.
- Sizzix Big Shot / BIGkick / Vagabond: Place the die block between a standard pair of clear acrylic cutting plates. Feed this sandwich into the machine using the standard Multipurpose Platform flipped to Tab 1.
- Other Brands (Cuttlebug / Evolution / Spellbinders): These dies can be adapted to alternative roller systems using standard 1/8-inch spacer plates or adjustable shim stacks.
