Used with a Sizzix Multipurpose Platform, Essentials Platform or Solo Platform & Shim in a Sizzix BIGkick, Big Shot and Vagabond Machines, an Impressions Pad* is a durable embossing accessory made specifically for Sizzix Texturz Plates and Silicone Rubber (all items sold separately). This pad measures 8.875 x 5.875 x 0.125 inch and precisely compensates for the proper pressure and height required for pressing thin material surfaces such as paper, cardstock and foil to make a lasting impression. For added versatility, use Impressions Pad and Silicone Rubber to emboss with any metal stencil.
