Blulu 4 Pieces Transparency Acrylic Cutting Pads Die Cutting Plates for Embossing Crafting (8.7 x 6.1 Inch)

I recently bought plates from a competitor. A huge mistake! They broke on the first use. These are durable and a good price.

I am a big [a[er crafter and use my dies frequently. I was tired of buying the name brand ones that don't last long and crack. In all fairness they ALL warp and crack eventually. For less money I get these that come with 4 vs buying the name brand for almost twice as much. These are exactly the same but, way cheaper! They work perfectly and I love using these. As a crafter I like to save money were I can because, that leaves money for other supplies. If you are a crafter you know exactly what I am talking about. Buy with confidence, you will not regret it. By the way I use these plates in my Sizzix Big Kick and they are fabulous!!

So happy to find these at a reasonable price. They are a sliver thinner than the Gemini brand, but with an extra shim they work perfectly.

Purchase a 4-pack of Transparency Cutting Pads. What a nice difference. For years I'd only used the Sizzix cutting pads, with my Big Shot die cutting machine, as always there's the normal crackling, scratching that is normal, as is warping over time. Well the Cutting Pads from Blulu are 1mil thinner and there's less pressure which means less if any warping, less noise. I am impressed. So far I've run the pads through about 60 times and nothing. They work great for the Big Shot. I have not tried the pads out on my Sizzix Vagabond or the Sizzix Switch just yet.From the bottom up, my sandwich consists of metal shims, old Sizzix cutting pad, cardstock, new transparent cutting pad on the top. I love these so much I am placing a new order to keep ready to go in the future.

They are a bit too thin for my machine. Luckily I still had the original plates and one wasn’t too bad, so I use one old and one new along with a shim. Good price, but only if it works for you.
