Had the same problem with some glitter cardstock as well as some "mirri" (European) cardstock. Try this...Use your metal shim for sure on the Empress and use a light weight page protector cut to fit your plates but big enough to sandwich the paper BETWEEN two pieces of page protector (I actually use a product called "cut tidy" but it is not available except through Create & Craft in the UK) however the page protector works pretty well, it just does not last as long as the Cut Tidy. Put your die cutting side down into the glitter side of paper and (between the page protector sandwich) last but important, use an envelope on TOP of the sandwich. ( envelopes are bulkier than sheets of paper so you won't have to guess how many sheets) Put all of this on the magnetic mat. Run through at least twice...lift and check the back of this bundle (you can see thru the page protector...do NOT remove die from sandwich) after running through Empress to see if the cut is clean. If not, run through once more (do not remove any of the sandwich) It's a nuisance to do it this way but it works and that's what we want. Hope this works for you. I wanted a glitter sentiment and this is the ONLY way I could get it. Sorry for the long explanation.
