Thanks, Lisa!!..

I know more girls are gong to try this so your link will be helpful!!..

The Sizzix plates came with the rubber or you can buy just the plates.  I wanted a nice rubber piece and since I had a coupon, I bought that set. Forgot to mention that the kit also came with a plain plate needed for depth when using Sizzix (Bigh Shot/Big Kick)

If you look for the rubber at Home Depot or Lowel's look in the plumbing section.  I haven't done it yet, but I was told that is where you will find it.

As with most machines, you need to play around with depth maybe adding a shim or two.

Do you have any plates?  If not, time to get those coupons!!..

Thanks, Lisa!  
I need to look into the rubber.
I'm thrilled that I could use these in my CB since I have so many of them!

can't remember if it was on that demo link or not, but saw someone use a standard mouse pad in place of one of the plates...

Hope the mousepad works..remember, depth is very important so one may be too think or too thick...just give it a try..nothing to lose..

Lynn, what a bummer!!..

still looking for the original site where I saw the best post about using themouse pad...I agree to be very careful, diff pads are very thick...
