Cricut and cutting magnet sheets

Apr '10 Scrapinmomof4

Anyone that has the magnet sheets to use with the cricut...any idea how many millimeters it is? I plan on making dress up dolls to put on a magnet board. I'd like to find some (either cricut or comparable) at HL on sale if possible but am unsure of how deep it comes. I have some from Quickutz but it does not have the depth marked. The disadvantage to the Quickutz is that it comes in 4x12...to small for some of the buildings I want to make.... So, I'm stumped. TIA

I posted this earlier but no response.

I'm not sure how thick it is but it's not overly thick. I actually didn't mean to buy it, I was trying to buy vinyl and picked that up instead. Got it home, thought "oh this seems a little heavier" and when I opened it realized what I'd done. Oops! I guess I'd say thinner than chipboard and I think the sheets were 12 X 12

Just doing a Google search, I found this:

THIN MAGNETIC

The CricutÂ® magnetic material has a gloss white surface and is 0.035" (0.88mm) thick.

Cricut Cutting Recommendations: (using Deep Cut Blade #29-0631)
Magnet (0.035"/0.80mm thick) with the recommended settings of

* Speed - 3 (medium)
* Pressure - 5 (max)
* Depth - 6
* Multi-Cut - 4

It also looks like Avery makes magnetic sheets that would work as well. You'd find them in an office supply store (maybe WalMart, but I've never looked closely enough) in with all of the print materials...and it's 8.5"x11".

I have used the magnetic sheets from walmart and a roll of some kind of magnetic material my niece found. We made the paper dolls with it for her daycare. I used the deep cut blade.

The only piece of advise. Make sure you put the sticky side up on your mat when you cut the magnetic material. Then when you cut your "body" out to cover the magnetic material it will match up perfectly.
