The Spellbinders Universal Plate System (PL-127) is a seven-piece accessory bundle designed to eliminate the guesswork of die-cutting and embossing. This extended plate system is engineered to work with almost any manual die-cutting machine on the market (including the Platinum, Platinum 6, and Sizzix Big Shot). Its main advantage is its extended length, which allows you to easily process Slimline dies and larger 3D embossing folders without multiple passes or "seams." What's in the System (7-Piece Set): (A) Platform Base: The foundational layer for all "sandwiches." (B) Platform Top: Used to adjust height for different types of dies and folders. (C) Extended Cutting Plates (2): Extra-long clear plates for cutting etched and steel-rule dies. (D) Adapter Plate: A smart shim used specifically for 3D embossing folders and wafer-thin dies. (E) Embossing Mat: A flexible tan mat used to "press" paper into dies for embossed details. (F) Shim: A thin mylar sheet for adding just the right amount of extra pressure when needed. Key Features: Universal Compatibility: smart by design - it works with Spellbinders, Sizzix, and Tim Holtz products. 3D Embossing Expert: This system provides the perfect "sandwich" for thick 3D folders. Pro Tip: For 3D folders, the sandwich is usually: Platform Base (A) + 3D Folder with Paper + Adapter Plate (D). Extended Reach: With plates measuring 9.6" long, you can finally use your 8.5" slimline tools with full support, preventing "fishtailing" or incomplete cuts at the edges. Easy-to-Follow Guides: The platform base features printed diagrams that show you exactly how to stack your plates for every major crafting technique.
