Cuttlebug Extended Plates

[vanoro11]

I purchased the CB plates specifically for the SU Flower Folds Die..just can't find the stacking recipe.

Thank y'all in advance for your help!!!

Normally you just need the cutting plates and the die itself. (The die gets sandwiched between the plates.) If you need a crease pad (because sometimes the "folds" get cut clean through without it), you'll have to get one of those and trim 1/8" off the side for it to fit through your cuttlebug. That's not hard to do at all...I remember doing mine easily with a ruler and a craft knife.

I just used mine yesterday --the SU Flower Folds Die and the extended Cuttlebug plates. I used a B plate - the SU Flower Folds Die -- Cardstock -- B plate.
Do not need a crease pad. Works like a charm!! Just watch positioning the cardstock so you do not cut petals off. Have fun!!

I guess I would use this same stacking for fabric...does the die go face up?

I just the dies up most of the time ---I do not like to waste more cardstock than I need to and want every part of the disigns covered with cardstock. I have never cut fabric with any of my dies so not sure about that. Depends on the thickness I guess.

Thanks for the info.

FYI.. I just purchased the Extended 13 inch plates so I could use the SU BigZ XL dies. BIG PROBLEM. The dies are almost 14 inches in length. So the extended Cuttlebug cutting pads are STILL TOO SHORT!

I used them last night and although they were a bit short they worked...now my guess they won't work on all.

The top plate/pad doesn't have to cover the whole die. It just needs to cover any part of the die where the blade/design will cut. I have a zillion dies and the blade never goes to the edges. There's always some wiggle room there.

If I am remembering right, Steel Rule Dies ALWAYS go Face DOWN and everything else can of face up. That's how I've always used my cuttlebug.
