I've been using a cheap A4 self- healing cutting mat with my Big Shot Plus for years. It's exactly the right thickness, lasts a lot longer than an acrylic mat and doesn't warp either. Also a lot cheaper to replace!
I like your video I learned a lot bought those a long time ago but wasn't sure how to use. Thx. Only thing is your background noise i.e. Music (?) is worse that elevator music 😵💫!
Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm so happy that my video was helpful and I'm sorry that you didn't like the background music. This video is about a year and a half old, so I had to check to see what I used back then. It's actually a free and royalty free track that a lot of crafter's have been using for years.... I think I've heard it on Lawn Fawn and other company videos. Don't quote me, I didn't go back and research the specifics. One solution if you don't like the music on anyone's video is to turn down the volume and turn on the closed captions. I'm always trying to improve all parts of my videos, but can't afford to purchase a bunch of audio tracks. If you know of somewhere I can get good sound file downloads without viruses for free, I'd love to know about it! At the moment, I'm still working with what I can. Eventually I'll make enough to afford some of the more fancy things.
@@DebbieJsCraftingCorner sorry I don't know much about that. I didn't mean to be rude it's just I only have hearing in one ear and the music interferred with my hearing and so many times the sound of the music is louder than the presenters so if there is a way to turn it down some rather than it interfering with your great review that would be helpful. I don't use my Sizzix much but realized last nite that my embossing folders could be used for molds for polymer clay. I have several die cutting machines I have for sale so if you know anyone interest, have a Spellbinder, a Sizzix, a Memory Keeper with the attachable motor and some other. I cut so seldom I just don't need, and because I don't I am not good at it. The Vagabond II and I get along well as does the little one. Since purchasing all these machines I have gone back to what I am good at and that is drawing. Again sorry as I reread it was rather harsh and I am sorry.
Yeah......avoid the extra expense of purchasing the Magic Mat! I have been using the X-Cut self healing mat for ages and it cost me £1.50 from The Range in Scotland it needs replaced every now and then, because No matter what, they aren't self healing forever 😂 but it saves a fortune in the long run xx
That's fantastic. I'm so happy that you found a great solution too. I don't think that mat is available in the US, and the other self-healing mats that I've tried don't work as well as the Magic Mat has. I've been using 2 of them almost daily for the last 3 years and they haven't needed to be replaced yet. AND I haven't had to replace a clear plate either.
First things first … your VOICE is quite pleasant. Too many crafting presenters on Y.T. have such piercing voices as to make them almost unwatchable. That said, DEBBIE, I do need to suggest you change your SCRIPT FONT to something more straightforward. The one you used is lovely for a sympathy card, but not for sharing info. I haven’t checked to see if you’ve produced any other vids, but I’ll check. As I said, I enjoy your voice.

Hmmmm.....looks like it requires a shim for it to get a good cut.....I'm not too crazy about that. I had wanted one because......if you've watched my videos.....my Cuttlebug plates have seen better days. I do have another set I can use but I will use the current ones until they die.....LOL But I thought the magic mat would be good to replace my current mat. But I went to Scrapbook.com and it appears they do have one for the Cuttlebug but they are out of stock. They have the long one you're showing and I do also have long Cuttlebug mats, but since I think I've only used those once I would rather have the regular size. Thank you so much for doing this honest review......I really appreciate getting to see it in action :) Hugs....Janie
@@DebbieJsCraftingCorner I have a Cuttlebug and have had for about 8 years and just use it for die cutting......and I have another Cuttlebug I just use for embossing. I know that sounds odd but I just feel the die cutting causes a lot of wear and tear.....and one Cuttlebug was my daughter's given to her by Cricut when did a tour of the place about 8 years ago, and the other Cuttlebug is mine. I also have a Cut N Boss that takes 8 1/2 x 11 paper and is electric. LOL I have so many machines....LOL But I'll have to think about the Magic Mat and see other video reviews. Maybe by the time they get them back in stock I'll know what I want to do :)
SO … What’s the bottom line? You DID show us that the M.M. was warping slightly because you didn’t flip it regularly through the process, but I noticed at the end that there was “threads” of paper stuck in the cuts in the M.M. QUESTIONS, please: Did these mar the word die CUTS ? Did you have any issues cleaning them out of the M.M.? Or did you leave them stuck in the mat? Have you ever used a cut-up self healing mat for these machines? And, if so, how do they compare to the Magic Mat? Thanks so V E R Y much for your efforts with this demo. I’m VERY much interested in this one, as I, too, have a Sizzix machine (BigShot). Be well, and thanks again!!
The reason it is not cutting because you still have to use ONE cutting plate along with the mat. The mat should be on the bottom and the a regular clear cutting plate is on top. You will not then have to use shims.
All you need is to turn over your cutting plates or mat as soon as it starts to wrap. It lasts for ages if used on this way. Also shim I always adding under adaptor and the same size as plates are to give even pressure and do not worn them off unnecessary.
thanks for the feedback. I've found that different machines give different pressure, and the 3 machines I've tried so far all give a LOT of pressure and cause my plates to warp even with regular turning. I've been using a Magic Mat for over 2 years now and haven't had to replace a clear plate in that time although I AM diecutting much more than before. I hated to die cut before the Magic Mat. Now I do it almost every day.
@@DebbieJsCraftingCorner Yes,you right there. Even Sizzix foldaway and big shot plus feels different on the same dies. This 'turn over plates' trick saved me a lot of money. Also I saw on another video that girls are using basic self healing mat instead of one adaptor on big shot ,covering with it bottom cutting plate. One thing I dont like about this magic mat is paper pieces cut deep into mat. From plates you can simply brush it away. How you managing that problem?
@@67nextday The mat is flexible, and it's pretty easy to clean up. I just bend it a bit. I also noticed a nice side effect when using my heat tool to flatten the magic mat that the heat also releases any paper bits.
@@67nextday Like I said, I've been using them for 2 years.... you can see them in use in most of my more recent videos. It's great that you are considering the magic mat... I love mine. Before you buy, check out some of the other videos so you can see it in action. This video was recorded 2 years ago... so I've used it a lot since then.
I love my magic mat .... But it is a pain in the butt because you need a Shim a lot of the time ... I just don't understand why they didn't make them thicker.. but I would rather have the magic mat than a regular cutting plate
@@DebbieJsCraftingCorner yeah what I did it instead of putting the shims over the dies I just took some paper and taped it to the bottom of my magic mat .. sometimes that doesn't work either and I have to put the paper on the top as well .... Now when it's not working at all I just grab some of my regular sizzix plates and usually it gets the job done ... But like I said I would much rather use the magic mat instead of the plates.... I mean come on ( no warping that's a god send in itself ) lol .... Thanks for the text back. I love you videos ... 💓
thanks for the feedback. This is a pretty old video and I was trying to find the right balance for the background to help cover my breathing and voice issues. If you missed any of the video, you can also put it on mute and turn on closed captions... and I am planning some new Magic Mat videos. I'm still using the magic mat for all my die cutting and absolutely love it. And I haven't needed to replace a clear mat since I started using this. AND I die cut a lot more than before, almost every day
My magic mat arrived. It was ordered for a Big Shot machine. I received a small one too small for some of my dies, at least 1.5 inches too small. I feel ripped off.
Thanks for the feedback... what size did you get? I have an extended size (6x14.5 shown in this video) and some standard size (6.125 x 8.75 shown in most of my die cutting videos) and have never had a problem. I use them in my Gemini Junior, Sizzix Big Shot with extended platform and my Platinum 6. Since I don't have one of the super big machines, like the Gemini or Platinum, I don't buy any of the super big dies since they wouldn't fit the machine. The big shot plate dimensions are listed online as 8.74 x 6.1 inches... so a standard magic mat should work perfectly... as long as the dies fit the standard big shot plates. If you are using an extended platform with the long plates, you'd need the extended magic mat. All of the mats have the dimensions listed and a list of compatible machines in the product description. If you ordered the extended length mat and they sent you a standard by mistake, I recommend contacting Scrapbook.com to get a replacement. I'm sure they will help you out (I don't work for them, but expect that they will make it right). If you ordered the standard and thought it was the longer one, you are in luck because I just checked out the site and they are half price right now. ( $12.99 as of Sept 19,2023 - shrsl.com/12ri1-5qd-l6nsi6_1-1) I have extra mats (also bought on sale) because I didn't really expect the mats to last so long... been using mine for 3 years. I do switch between a couple because I get lazy and don't feel like flattening out a slightly warped mat when working on a project... even though it only takes a few minutes. LOL
I'm not sure what you are asking. The magic mat is currently listed at about $10 a mat, so that's the cost. I've been using one for all of my die cutting for 3 years and it has prevented my needing to replace ANY of my clear plates. Plus I die cut much more than before I got my first magic mat. I had 2 die cutting machines at the time, and both had high pressure. The clear plates would warp on the first cut. Now they don't. I hope that answers the question of Value. Let me know. ~ Big Hugs!

@@robertasanderson1991 Thanks for clarifying. The magic mat has been a game changer for me. My plates stay flat, my dies no longer warp, and I haven't had to replace any of my clear plates in three years. One is finally starting to crack a little bit.

BTW, this video was recorded three years ago. any videos you see on my channel since then where I'm diecutting will show the magic mat being used.

Great question. I've had this mat for about 3 yrs, and before the switch came out. Scrapbook.com has a Sizzix - Big Shot Switch Plus - Accessory - Cutting Pads and Magic Mat Plus Bundle on their site (black friday deal is 12% off with code BLACKFRIDAY)... here is my affiliate link if you choose to get it - shrsl.com/12ri1-5qd-l6oedh_1-1 Before buying one, I would recommend checking with Sizzix to see if using the mat would void the warranty. I wouldn't think so, but you won't know unless you ask them. All of the machines I use are out of warranty, and I've never had an issue with any of them using the magic mat. But you never know. Just because Scrapbook.com has created something that is compatible with the machine doesn't mean that the machine manufacturer won't say that using it will void your warranty. Based on the warranty info I found on the sizzix site (www.sizzix.com/media/uploads/cms/uk/pdf/English/Switch-Warranty-Updates.pdf), as long as you use a product that is deemed compatible, I think you should be fine. You may ant to ask them directly to be sure.
Hi, actually I am saying for a fact that using the Magic Mat WILL, IN FACT void your warranty. My machine no longer fully ejects the plates and Sizzix denied any responsibility to replace the machine because I used a Magic Mat in when I submitted a video to show them what my machine is doing/not doing. I can't even imagine how many Magic Mats have been sold and will result in voided warranties. I imagine people have no idea that their handy little Magic Mat just voided the warranty on their $300 machine. @@DebbieJsCraftingCorner
Thanks for letting us know. As I mentioned, this video was recorded prior to the Switch release. With any new product, you have to be a little cautious about what you use with it because companies can't really be responsible for whether another companies product works well with theirs. For instance, I have a WeRMemoryKeepers Foil Quill and I have a ScanNCut. Using the quill with the machine would void the warranty.... if it was still under warranty. You always want to check the warranty rules with any new product, whether it's crafting related or not.
did you get the one that is 6 x 7.75? That one is shorted because it's made to work in the Cuttlebug. The standard mat is 6.125 x 8.75 and should fit the bigshot (dimensions taken from scrapbook.com's product listings for the mats)
@@DebbieJsCraftingCorner The one I was sent is obviously Cuttlebug. I live in Australia so with postage and exchange the price is too high to order another. Thanks.
I'm so sorry about that. I was just trying to help... especially since you said that you felt ripped off and mentioned getting the size that is for the sizzix. If they sent you the smaller one when you ordered the larger one, I would expect Scrapbook.com to fix the issue. I don't want anything that I share online to make someone feel that they were ripped off by the company I recommended. If it was their error, reach out to them for help.

I don't want anything that I share online to make someone feel that they were ripped off by the company I recommended. If it was their error, reach out to them for help.
