Comments

R. Arnold: Works great for cutting framelits and dies. You might have to move the paper around some or it may “jump” to the nearest magnetic area. Don’t know how I lived without it!

Miriam: Ideal para troqueles de corte metalicos, aunque a veces mueve el troquel por el iman que lleva. No es mayor problema, pero tienes que estar pendiente de mover el papel también sí quieres el corte en un sitio determinado.
No sirve para embossing.

Cliente Amazon: Plataforma ideal para los trabajadores con troqueles y es compatible con diferentes maquinas de troquelar, ya que yo tengo una que no es de Sizzix y va genial

Sharon: This held the dies in place better than I thought it would. Made it easy for younger grand daughter to us. As always, with Sizzix, this is a very good product.

Kaye-Mom: I still tape down my die generally, but the magnet feature keeps them from moving around when I am setting it up to cut

R.: It’s so easy to use my thinlits with it.

Momof2: The media could not be loaded.  I was discouraged from buying this for the longest time because the first, “most helpful” review that comes up rated it a 3 and said it was basically not worth getting and the magnets make it jump all over the place. SO WRONG! I attached a video so people can see exactly how the magnets work. The green border is not magnetized. However, as long as part of the die is on the magnet (crossing over the border) it will stay put. You just cannot lay the entire die in the green section (which only affects small dies). Secondly, large dies generally will stay where you put them. I have a “happy birthday” sentiment die, and it does not move from anywhere I place it. On my 1” x 1” dies, they may move a little bit here and there, but for the majority of the plate, it does not (except if I lay the whole die in the green border). My smallest dies is 1/4” x 1/4” and as you can see from the video, that heart moves the most when I place it on the board....however by just a little and it is easy to adjust. The only way I could imagine this being an issue is if I tried to lay down maybe 20 of these small hearts to cut at the same time? I am not...

Linda Lee: I bought this Sizzix, Multi Color, Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies 656499 several weeks ago, and finally had the time to experiment with it yesterday. I have several very pretty ornate hearts, butterflies, and frame dies. But I couldn't get the entire die to cut out all of the die. So much wasted paper and time. Very frustrating!!!

I have the Sizzix Big Shot Plus. I found that using the small magnetic board, Heavy Weight Scrapbooking paper, and the Blueberry plates, I am able to successfully get a full cut out of these lovely ornate dies. It takes extra time, but it is worth it.

Here are the steps I do:
~ I cut heavy weight scrapbooking paper to fit the magnetic board.
~ I make sure that I am using 2 flat Blueberry plates that have matched curves, but are as flat as possible.
~ In making the "sandwich", the magnetic board goes on the Big Shot Plus face up. Then place one Blueberry plate on top of the magnetic board.
~ Place the heavy weight paper on top of the center of the paper. Then place the ornate die FACE DOWN on top of the paper.
~ Place another Blueberry plate centered over the magnetic board and first Blueberry plate.
~ I then run the...
