If you are having trouble figuring out what plates/pads to use your Cuttlebug when using other dies her is a chart that tells you which plates to use with what dies.

The pressure tolerance or tension varies from machine to machine, you may need to add cardstock shims for better results.

Always go for the thinnest configuration then build up for increased pressure.
