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...

Yep, it was in the demo and I know I can dig one of those up somewhere.

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!!..
