Questions & Answers

Is it difficult to see through these pads when cutting smaller dies or stamping images?

These pads do not have any issues with visibility. I like mine, but I don't use both of them at the same time. On the bottom, I use a clear one, and on top, I use a colored one. As a result, I never accidentally cut into the colored one. And when the bottom on wears out, I replace it with a colored one. On top of that, place the other clear one. One unmarked pad is something I like to keep on hand at all times.

Do the colored ones last as long as the clear ones, according to your experience?

They should last about the same amount of time, in my opinion. Only the color makes a difference. It's the same stuff.

Is it possible to use these with Cuddlebug?

I believe Sizzix intended to keep them for their Big Shot models, which are their one and only brand of machine. However, if you have a machine with a width greater than 6 and an eigth, such as my Spellbinder 8, you can use it. If you have a height of 5", you can use these. The point is that the mouth opening must be bigger than the plates in at least one direction. You could probably cut these down to fit if you have access to a skill saw that can cut smooth acrylic edges. However, to achieve a very smooth, clean edge on the cut side, you'll need a method or two, which most people won't have or know how to do. Good luck, and by the way, do a Google search for really good prices on a variety of plate sizes in your size. Spellbinder produces a lot of plates and no longer makes the junior or grand Caliber models, but the junior would fit your machine and you can get great deals on their plates right now. Both Spellbinders and Office Supply are available. I do mix and match plates, but I keep an eye out for oversizing. With a score of 8, The Spellinder's size of 5 inches isn't a common issue. Sizzix, on the other hand, makes a pro that, in my opinion, is much larger. (Spellbinder folds up like the Bigshot foldable, but it's bigger and better because of its larger mouth, so I have smaller plates for faster work with smaller projects and dies, as well as matching plates in the size it's designed for.) Also, I couldn't understand why a colored plate or the glittered ones were used until I read here today about how they use the plates to keep track of which ones they are cutting into, then switching them so that one is always on top and one is always on the bottom, one is the cut plate until both sides are used up, then they switch the non cut plate to the cut side and the new plate becomes the non cut side, and basically by using two or pairing two different colors of plies. (I used washi tape to keep track of things, but the color scheme sounds like it could be useful as well.)

Is it correct that this is a package of two (2) mint colored cutting pads? I just wanted to double-check because the pads aren't described as a pair. ?

This is a listing for two mint colored cutting pads.

Highly Recommend Making Them Colored Is A Fantastic Idea! These colored cutting pads are identical to the clear ones, but with a different color scheme
5/5

It's easy to tell which plate is your cutting plate and which is your non-cutting plate with this handy tool. plate to be cut When die cutting, use two cutting pads, one colored and the other clear. It's best to designate a separate cutting plate so that only one gets all marked up and the other stays nice. I couldn't find the colored cutting pads in stores and was delighted to find them here. They're available in a variety of colors, but I went with Mint because it was the cheapest at $8. These cutting pads are for the Big Shot/Big Kick Machine and cost $97 on Amazon. Please let me know if this review was helpful.

For a Sizzix Big Shot, I bought the mint cutting pads
3/5

I bought the mint cutting pads for a Sizzix Big Shot a few months ago and put them away. I've only been using the pads for a few days and I'm already having problems with bowing. Today, there was a 1 inch crack. Less than a year has passed since the pads were first used. month. I'm a light user who only crafts on occasion. The other "clear" cutting pad pairs were never cracked.

The color scheme is fantastic
4/5

They're useful because they're easily visible on my desk. My complaint to Sizzix is that the newer plates (I'm on my third set) don't seem to be as durable as the originals and don't last as long.

The color scheme is appealing - I prefer to cut with a colored cutting pad
5/5

The color scheme is appealing - I like to cut my sandwiches with a colored cutting pad and a clear one. It helps me remember which one goes on top and which one goes on the bottom without having to look at it too closely. I made the mistake of putting the same pad on top of the sandwich that all the dies were cut out of before - All of the small cut lines were transferred to my die-cut - sucked. So for the top, I use one color and for the bottom, I use a clear or different color. When the bottom wears out, I simply replace it with the old top - As a result, I'm able to rotate the pads from oldest to newest in this manner.

The new color pads from Sizzix are fantastic
5/5

The cutting pads have been improved in a nice way. By providing new bright colors, it's simple to keep this pad on the bottom and use an older pad on top, extending the life of the pad while providing a nice even cut and crisp cuts and fine details.

You've done it once more, Sizzix! The color combination is fantastic! This is an excellent product
5/5

All of the colors are fantastic. I like to keep a few extras on hand in case something goes wrong. You never know what might happen. However, I am drawn to all of the colors, which is why I purchased these. I have to have all of the colors because they are all so lovely. However, they are of excellent quality, and I would recommend them to anyone in need of replacement pads. These are the best, and I absolutely adore my Big Shot! Sizzix products are of excellent quality. These vibrant cutting pads are fantastic. Obviously. 5*s!.

The color combination is fantastic! These cutting plates are fantastic
5/5

I was in desperate need of a new pair and was overjoyed to find them in such a lovely hue. My top cutting plate is always the colored one, and the bottom cutting plate is always a clear one. The beautiful color stands out on my craft table, ensuring that I don't "lose" it while working. Thanks.

My Big Shot will love it
5/5

These were purchased so that the girls in my card classes would know which plate was the Big Shot cutting plate. I cut the "sandwich" with colored plates on the bottom and clear plates on top.
