Wow! It works, You saved me a lot of money! I am so excited. Thanks.
Great demo, Tina! It’s harder to find the plates in the US too. By the way, the piece you cut off is a good small ruler!
Okay, Tina … Having been a year since you posted this video, can you give us a synopsis of your experience with these cutting mats? How’d you like the DT mats as on going cutting mats in your machine?
Thank you for your video...and for the shim ideas!! I just stack a couple scrap pieces of cardstock for shims, but the Manila folder and poster board are brilliant! I’ll be going to Dollar Tree tomorrow! 🥰
I've seen other videos like yours but couldn't get it to work. Your tutorial did the trick!! Adding the folders for extra height is genius!
Thanks for the demo and for explaining how you cut the mat. I've been leary of using my Big Shot because I didn't want to ruin the plate - silly, I know. 😆
Hey, Kiddo! You’re a CRAFTER, N O T a museum docent! Go to it, Cheryl … make us proud!!
I go to a glass place business in my town that make plexi, arcrylic glass. The same place where all the businesses in town got their plexi glass because of Covid. I brought them samples of my Cuttlebug plates yes I still have one of those machines...lol...and the plexi work like a dream. One plate in BC cost about $13 but I have used it many many times. I only need a shim for 1 of my plexi plates because I have a Cuttlebug. 😉 This a great option as well! Love seeing great cost efficient ideas from you! Tfs!
Does the glass place cut the plexiglass to the size of your plates?
Actually I have been ordering my Cuttlebug plates from TEMU and they work great!! 😊@@CDavis-yw3be
@@CDavis-yw3be yes but I now order my plates from Temu. Cheaper!
@patcontant9284 yeah My Wife bought me some plates for my sizzix through temu I now have some backups for my really old ones.
Thank you for this hack!! I will be using it.
Great video, I just did the same thing with one I bought from dollar tree. I just cut 2 pieces of cardstock in half and glued the 4 pieces together. It cut my die perfect. Just subscribed to your channel. Love crafting hacks, since items can get pretty expensive.
also I've found that the green mats do not warp and buckle over time like the plates do. :)
Sizzix is losing out. If the plates are hard to find the company could sell packets of the dollar store type.
Thanks for the tutorial. I bought quite a few of these mats when I found them at DT because I figured I wouldn't find them again. Lol. I need to give this a try. Take care and TFS!
Hi Tina. Thank you for demonstrating how you used the cutting mat, wow that saves a lot of money! You are definitely the right person to be able to tell us how long it lasts lol. Have a wonderful Monday 💞
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Thanks for showing how this mat can work with Sizxix! My sister got me a Sizzix from a thrift store. And I have several of the DT mats! I'm definitely going to try this idea!
Have a great day!
The Big Shot plates are getting harder to find here in the States too Tina, used to get mine at AC Moore, but they shut down. Haven't tried Michael's yet though. I have seen this done with other mats before. I wish I could find these mats in my DT. Maybe one day, I could never find the nautical rope before, but the other week I got 4 bundles, so there is hope yet! lol Hugs, Brenda
Thanks for the demo and for the price not bad at all the plates can add up after a while if you use it alot which I do lol tyfs :)
Thanks so much for sharing. I had bought a dozen of them, but hadn’t tried them yet myself. Glad to know they do the job!
Great demo ! Thanks for sharing the savings ! 😃💚🌹
Awesome tip! Thanks so much!
Very interesting. I want to try it if I can find it. My Sizzix plates warp way too fast; basically, as soon as I get them. Tfs. Hugs! ❤️🥰
Hi Tina,thanks for that demo.I am learning what I can before getting the machine.I am also getting rid of stuff I do not want or use,so I will have more
room.Tfs have a great day.😍🍁🐧
Thanks for the demo my friend 💖. I love seeing how everyone is using them with the big shot . TFS my friend 🥰💕.
Another option, thank you for showing us.
Tina, I really love the dies and maybe some day I will be able to get some!!!! take care and stay safe!
Awesome, thanks for sharing 😍💕
I have been wondering about these cutting mats i saw someone else do it. Maybe I will invest in some
Thank you, this little tick, is just what I needed.
TFS this great idea Tina. Will be trying it.
Yes it helps greatly, thanks for sharing this. I have the same issue with purchasing many of the standard necessities for crafting at Michaels in Nova Scotia. So many things are never available. I will be stocking up on these.
Tina - thanks for the demo and the tips! Now I know it works, I can do it with my machine! Thanks for sharing!
This is very awesome to know. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings to you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been wondering if this would work🙀💕 I can’t wait to see how long it lasts 🤗💕tfs
Thanks for sharing
QUESTION: I’m wondering … if you used the Dollar Tree POSTER BOARD between the DIE and the top CLEAR PLATE, if that wouldn’t keep the die from “imprinting” itself into that top plate?? You’d still have the correct thickness for your sandwich, but would the die still cut as cleanly? Or would the poster board be too cushion-y to allow a clean cut?
I have a. Self healing mat I got at Oohmoo that fits my Gemini Jr but have trouble getting the right shim it make it work. I'll try your combo and see if that works. I'll have to get a manilla folder and cut it.
Fantastic idea Tina . Thank you for the review.
Tfs this Tina!!
TINA. THANKS DO MUCH. HI PEPI
HI TINA IT,S. TINA THANK U FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO IHUGS AND KISSES 😘 TINA
Thanks for the suggestion Tina, yes the plates are becoming more difficult to come across 😛 tfs
Hi Tina 😊
Thank You for the review 💕
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Great idea! Now I just have to find couple of these mats. My local DT doesn't carry it...
I have been using a cutting mat as well and prefer it over the plexiglass.
I’m in Saskatoon as well and they don’t have them here as well the plates for die cutting. I will have to try this as a way to cut thank you
I bought duofen nylon cutting mats from Aliexpress. They last months and months. They are like a kitchen cutting board.
Thank you I think I need to get some lol
Great video! Yes, very helpful!
I have used something similar. Can't find the green mats here. Great to save money too.
I would be interested in knowing how much use you got out of the one mat. Also, I purchased an Olfa mat online from Michaels for $6.49 US. It is self healing and it doesn’t need to be cut down. It is not as thick as the Magic Mat, which by the way has been on back order for what seems forever. Thanks for the file folder hint.
Well I used it for a month and because it’s not self healing its kind of totally scratched up but still works lol. How big is the olfa mat? I would like to maybe get self healing next time makes more sense . TFW sweetheart 💖
@@TinaKazarian
The Olfa mat is 6X8 and fits perfectly without trimming.
I saw on another channel that if you soak the Dollar Tree mat in warm water for about an hour, it will “heal”. 🌺
Just curious how long the mat worked for you. Does it get all wonky? I used a small self healing mat, which I liked, but it got wonky shaped. I found it didn't last very long.
I were to use a BigKick can i still use the die cuts made in China one?
So how long did the healing mat hold up?
Because I die cut a lot about a month not too long 😂
Will this work w fabric?
I use it with felt and it cuts perfect but never tried with fabric.
Tina, how long did the DT cutting mat last?🙋🏻♀️💜
The way I use them everyday about 2-3 weeks and they warped. Unfortunately I didn’t try to heat it to see if it goes back to its shape, but those aren’t self healing.
Thank you!!🙋🏻♀️💜
I will be out on the lookout for that I bet you I can shred cutter plates over night I really put those bad boys through the ringer.. let me tell you
honey child I can even snap mine
apart.
