I dont use my sizzix with raw polymer clay, because you just end up
squishing the polymer clay from the pressure of the sizzix machine.
Besides it will stick to the foam under the dies and in the dies, and
on the metal blade inside. I don't recommend wasting money on it to
play with raw clay.

I do use it however for allready baked sheets of clay for shapes,
etc.. works really well.. although I know that sizzix does not
recommend its use for clay, and will probably void the warranty on
your machine and dies if they knew what you were using it for (blah
blah blah).

However I'm sure there might be a way to modify the dies (remove the
foam core, and drill a hole through the top to be able to "push" the
clay out of the die once cut) But then again with the cost of the
sizzix dies, I think that you would be better off cutting paper
templates and hand cutting raw clay yourself by hand then reverse
engineering the die itself to be used with clay.

I use large metal cookie cutters, since they come in such a huge
variety. I looked at the Sizzix dies, and the shapes seem to be as
simple as cookie cutter ones.
Am I missing something?
