Sizzix Extended Cutting Pads 2-Pack - Extended Pair for Large Dies

In this review the Sizzix Extended Cutting Pads 2-Pack is judged primarily on whether it makes die-cutting larger formats easier and cleaner. For crafters who use Bigz XL, Movers & Shapers, or original extra-long dies with a BIGkick or Big Shot machine, these pads solve a straightforward problem: they extend the cutting surface to accommodate longer dies without forcing awkward overlap or repeated passes. The bottom line is practical - this is a replacement pair that restores proper sandwich thickness and helps achieve reliable, clean cuts for oversized projects.

Key Features

• Extended size: The 6 1/4 in x 14 3/4 in dimensions let longer dies lie flat so you can cut larger pieces in a single pass.
• Replacement set: Two pads in the package provide a complete pair to replace worn or warped pads and get your machine back to proper operation.
• Compatibility: Designed to work with BIGkick and Big Shot machines, these pads fit the SuperStar and accommodate Bigz XL and Movers & Shapers dies.
• Material: Manufactured from PC plastic for a smooth cutting surface that supports clean cuts without sticking to dies.
• Imported production: Ready to use out of the package as direct replacements for extended die-cutting setups.

Who It's For

These extended cutting pads are aimed at hobbyists and small-studio crafters who regularly use extra-large dies such as Bigz XL and Movers & Shapers on compatible machines. If you cut card fronts, quilt templates, or other long pieces like A2 cardstock panels, the pads save time by enabling a single, even pass.

Casual users who only work with standard-sized dies or those who do not own a BIGkick, Big Shot, or SuperStar machine should look elsewhere; standard-length pads remain the better fit for smaller, routine projects.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Restores full-length cutting capability so long dies can be used without shifting or multiple passes.
• Two pads per pack mean a matched pair for a correct sandwich and immediate replacement of worn pads.
• Customers report good cut quality and appreciate the size for larger cardstock and die work.

Cons

• Some users note mixed durability, with reports that pads can warp after repeated heavy use, so they may require replacement again over time.
