This seven pack of plates, the Universal Plate System P6 Accessory Bundle, is from Spellbinders. This package includes one platform base which measures 10.625" x 6.25", one platform top that measures 10.625" x 6.25", two cutting plates which measure 9.625" x 6.06", one adapter plate which measures 9.625" x 6.06", one embossing mat which measures 9.625" x 6.06", and one shim which measures 9.625" x 6.06". These plates, also known as cutting mats, can be used in manual die cutting machines such as the Spellbinders Platinum and Platinum 6 machines and the Big Shot machines (all sold separately). They will work with most slimline dies, steel rule dies, thin metal dies, and embossing folders (sold separately). There is a guide to provide you with step-by-step instructions for building sandwiches for all Spellbinders products that can be used with this collection of plates.
I was surprised that plates were smaller than my original, but that being said, will be easier to handle and a bit lighter in weight. I like the various platform descriptions, easy to use.
Finally decided to purchase this system for embossing. It works great for all the different embossing folders. I also like the little bit longer plate.
I have been frustrated by all the different size embossing folders. Thickness varies from company to company. Recently, I wanted to use a 3 d folder to make a stack of Christmas cards and ended up making a shim out of pieces of chipboard. It worked, but my folder started to curl. In desperation, I ordered this System.I found the chart that showed what sandwich to use with each companies embossing folder. The first time I used it, it was so perfect. My embossed image was nice, and my folder wasn’t curling,. I used it in my Foldaway Big Shot. I like the size, it’s longer than standard plates, but not as long as the extra long platform. Ihighly recommend this system.
