Just arrived last week but it’s already my new favorite tool. Large enough to handle all the dies I need to color at one time. Sticky but not too sticky on both sides. Even use the non sticky acrylic to glue items together.
Glad I caught the Mother’s Day 50% off sale. Thank you, Altenew. Now, let’s see what else . I can’t live without.
I don't know how I got by without this mat! I use it all the time to hold my stencils in place when ink blending or using Shimmer Relief Pastes. It works great for ink blending die cuts, too! It holds everything in place so well and cleans up easily! I even use it to hold my paper in place when watercoloring! I used to put it away in one of Altenew's pouches, but now I just leave it out on my craft table because I use it so often!
This mat has made my ink blending so much better, it holds the card very well, no more inked fingers. It will also hold your ink pad in place so you aren’t chasing it all over the desk. It makes doing stenciling a breeze too, it holds the stencil and the card in place. I am definitely saving money on buying tape to hold everything in place. It stays sticky and is very easy to clean. I started with the smaller one and I love it too, but the 9 x 12 gives you so much more working space. I love the packaging they use. I even made a card with it. Ink blended the card front on the sticky mat with oxide inks, then added the flowers from the packaging.
I enjoy how it holds my stencils in place and it also helps with my ink blending.
I don’t know why I didn’t this sooner.
A definite must have tool!
I did not realize I needed this mat. I had the smaller 6X6, I believe, and loved it and used it all the time. But since trying the larger size of 9X12 I am amazed at how much nicer it is. Gives you so much space to hold your paper, stencil and stamps on the side. It also allows you to use half a sheet of paper for some of the larger products. thank you for a great product.
