Thank you so much Gaynor, I saw your video just in time. You saved me $$$$. I won't need to purchase those expensive cutting plates again. Cheers from Betty in Australia.

There will be paper stuck in the mat in time and if you use another one as a top plate it will also warp in time. If you put the mat in hot water (doesn't have to be boiling) the paper will soak and you can rub it out plus the heat will cause the mat to resume its original form. Greetings from Switzerland 🦋

Oh my sakes!!! Being on a limited income (Social Security) this is going to be a lifesaver for me as well as many others I think I can say.... TY so very much for sharing!

Just checking out the Sizzix Magic mats and seen your video pop up too. They stole your friends idea. Thank you so much for saving me some money. This is awesome and will save so many people money. Also they showed how to use one of the cutting boards on top and bottom so you never need to buy the clear plates again.

I can't believe it took me 2 years to see this! I rushed right out to Dollarama and found the exact same set of cutting mat and knife for $4 Cdn. Got my husband to cut it down to size, and tried it out right away. Perfect cut, stayed in place with the magnetic plate. Wonderful! Just when I'd totally given up on the warping, cracking, messed up plates! Thank you!!!!

This is brilliant! I have used a self healing mat for quilting since they were first introduced, many years ago, but now they will be repurposed! Just a note, always store your self healing mat flat because they will bend/bow if stored other than flat. Love your sweet personality!

Arhhh thank you my darling x x huge hugs x x I know right, it's normally is about the dosh for sellers, so us beautiful crafter we need things to be cheaper so we can buy more of the things we love instead of need x x

Thank you for a really helpful demonstration. So good to find someone who is in the UK and can recommend products that we can buy here. It seems that the quality/material of these self healing makes a difference to its performance in the Big Shot. I have cut down and used one from The Works but after a very short time that, too, buckled/bowed like the plastic plates supplied with the Big Shot. As you say, it's due to the pressure from the roller which is greatest in the centre of the 'sandwich'. I'm not one to be easily defeated when it comes to crafting and am about to order a different brand of self-healing mat so I hope the result is better. Thank you, again.

This is such a useful tip and I've used it a lot. I bought an A4 size cutting mat from The Works (£3) and my husband cut it in half for me. It works very well as a cutting (bottom) plate although I found it works better with a piece of thin card as a shim - if I use two real cutting plates I don't usually need a shim. Even if you use a cutting mat on the bottom and a cutting plate on top, it will still save a fortune - you won't have to replace your cutting plates nearly so often. You might need to experiment a bit with shims but it's definitely worth a try.

When they mentioned that the mat is self healing I was wondering why it is any different than a regular self healing mat which costs so much lesser than a Magic mat. So before I make up my mind to buy it, I browsed through the internet if anyone used a regular self healing mat on Sizzix. And here I’m !! I wish I had seen it before when I was struggling with those plates ! Better late than never 😀 I tried using my does on my self healing mat and magnetic platform and viola! It works like a charm. Cuts are so sharp and yes the cracking sounds are gone! Nobody in my house will know I’m using my Sizzix hahaha.. Thanks a ton for this video. Happy crafting !!

A perfectly sized one is being sold on Mercari and Scrapbook.com is selling three sizes, regular, extended and small for the side kick ......People are saying that their husbands use their power saws ro cut the self healing mats to size. So you can buy one that’s the perfect size or make it yourself.

Hi Joy, I was wondering if you or any used the healing mat with the thinlits that also have embossing on it like Anna Griffin Dies, (not embossing folders) ? I got a Gemini and also the big shot and I already make holes on both of the silicon rubber mats (the one for my Gemini and big shoot) :/ Please let me know if you get any embossing on those dies using this mat, thank you

i cut into the precision plate( which i have never had to replace.) and the top one is a clear plate, thats my sandwich.. the top plate ,it still curls. i hate having to keep buying new plates. i use mine til they are curled so bad, no matter that i flip them everytime. idea is great. i wish it worked for me.
