It has a varied price point from$299.99- $499.99 & can be found mostly via online retailers.

Check out the video made by Christie of Creations by Christie: (It's a little long as far as videos go but thorough) Enjoy!


It's like having a Gypsy & Cricut in one.

As you can see it boasts a lot of great features but perhaps one thing more can sweeten this configuration.

Two Words...Tim Holtz!

Yes, he is collaborating with Sizzix & has something to be used with the ECLIPS.
