These are just like the standard cutting pads but with glitter infused into the plastic. They are very sturdy. I like to change my cutting pads placement each time I use them so they don't get warped. With these, I use the glitter one on the top and a clear one on the bottom. Next time, I use the clear on on top and the glitter one on the bottom. I feel this makes the cutting pads last longer and with two different types, it's easy to trade them back and forth.

Good for Evolution Advanced Die Cutter

I use these plates and the Sizzix magnetic platform in my WRMK Evolution Advanced die cutter. I love that I can see the die placement on the paper through the plates. You can't see through the Evolution Advanced cutting pads. It is also cheaper to replace these pads. I like using them with my die cutter because, unlike the Big Shot, I can adjust the pressure needed with the machine instead of shimming and buying any other accessories the Big Shot recommends for different die types. Very happy with my setup. These plates also work well with the original platform that comes with the Evolution Advanced.

it's a good idea to replace it

These cutting pads are compatible with the Vagabond machine. As your pad gets worn and warped, it's a good idea to replace it. One time it got stuck in the middle of my Vagabond because it cracked. I was lucky to be able to get it out! Always use the same pad on the bottom and the cutting pad on top. That way only one pad will wear out at a time. Each package comes with two pads.

works great in Fiskars Fuse & with Accuquilt die

Bought these to use with the Accuquilt Value Die in my Fiskars Fuse machine. These pads are very sturdy and strong and stood up well to some hard use. I cut 560 scrappy half-square triangles with just one pad and it's still going strong, although it is pretty marked up. I did rotate the pad and adjust it so that the cuts weren't all in the same place. For my sandwich, I used 1 Sizzix Extended cutting pad as the base platform, a shim of 2 layers of cereal box pieces taped together, the Value Die, the fabric, and this cutting pad on top. It cut 4 layers of cotton quilting fabric at a time. It could have cut up to 5 or 6 layers of fabric at a time, but that made it harder to crank and I didn't want that much work on my wrists and elbows. I did try to cut 5 or 6 layers of fabric at a time with only 1 layer of cereal box shim, but it didn't cut the fabric as well. Very happy with this purchase and will buy more of these to have on hand.

Necessary for successful Thinlit die cutting

Got these so I could have an unbowed set of cutting pads exclusively for thin metal cutting dies. It really helps! What was also very helpful was watching a couple of YouTube videos on using the Sizzix and Thinlits. Got some good tips to help the plates remain flat, which is important to get even pressure on the dies and a fully successful cut.

Not much to say. These are mats and mats wear out.

These are a required element of manual die cutting whether one owns an electrified machine or not. Sizzix makes excellent products but these too will wear out. I’d hope these are back to the material wherein one can oven heat treat them to remove machine curl. Have my doubts.

Works great with Accuquilt Die in Fiskars Fuse

Bought these to use as the base platform with the Accuquilt Value Die in my Fiskars Fuse machine. These pads are very sturdy, strong and durable. I cut 560 half-square triangles and this pad didn't warp or bow. I used it as the base platform only and didn't cut on it. For my sandwich, I used 1 Sizzix Extended cutting pad as the base platform, a shim of 2 layers of cereal box pieces taped together, the Value Die, the fabric, and 1 Sizzix Standard cutting pad on top. It cut 4 layers of cotton quilting fabric at a time. It could have cut up to 5 or 6 layers of fabric at a time, but that made it harder to crank and I didn't want that much work on my wrists and elbows. I did try to cut 5 or 6 layers of fabric at a time with only 1 layer of cereal box shim, but it didn't cut the fabric as well. Very happy with this purchase and will buy more of these to have on hand.

Replacements for the original cutting pads ...

I own a Sizzix Big Shot, and these are the standard cutting pads, like the ones that originally came with the machine. I use my Big Shot for almost every card I make -- die cutting, dry embossing, etc. So the pads get a lot of use, and they DO wear out. I try to keep one pad "clean" -- so only one pad ends up with the cuts/etc. That way, I only need to replace one pad at a time. When the cutting pad gets too warped to cut cleanly, the old "clean" pad gets rotated as the new cutting pad, and the new pad becomes the new "clean" pad. This seems to work to to help the pads last longer. Definitely a good buy.

Absolute Necessity for die cutting!

I do a lot of die cutting, especially since I got my Vagabond (Love it!), so I keep a spare set of these cutting pads on hand. These cutting pads stand up to a lot of die cutting, but will take a beating over time and need to be replaced. Sizzix cutting pads are the only ones I will use in my die cut machine. You won't go wrong with these cutting pads.

Sizzix Extended Cutting Pad

A friend sent me a die that was too large for the cutting pads that came with the Sizzix Big Shot that she gave me. So it was necessary for me to buy this accessory. This enabled me to cut items from this particular die. The quality of these pads is excellent and I think they should be added as part of the new Big Shot Die Cutting machines.
