Big Shot Die Cutting Materials Information

I was just doing a little research for an upcoming class and I found this great information I wanted to share with you!  I am planning a class on March 11 using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine by Sizzix, and found this extensive list of materials you can use with your machine.  This is directly from the Stampin' Up! website (http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/11372.asp):

The following materials work well when creating die cuts with the Big Shot machine and Bigz and Originals dies. Please note the maximum thickness of several materials.
