This Embossing Pad was specially designed for use in the Sizzix Sidekick Machine. Constructed of high-quality ABS plastic, this Embossing Pad allows for easy embossing with Sizzix embossing folders (Textured Impressions, Texture Fades and Texture Trades) in the Sidekick Machine. Simply sandwich the embossing folder and material to be embossed between a colour Cutting Pad and the Embossing Pad and roll through the machine.Each Embossing Pad measures 4 7/8in x 2 1/2in x 1/8in and lasts for thousands of impressions. The Sizzix Embossing Pad is meant to be used on both sides. When both sides of the Embossing Pad are worn out, it is time to replace.
