Your company always make designs with the crafter in mind. I bought the Stamp Wheel from Altenew and my hat is off to them for that product. But of course your mind went to other ways to use that sort of mat. The alignment guided for the stencil sold me on them. I bought them all because I want to support some of the smartest designers in the business! Thank you so much

Can you add the smallest square to a large stamp block for stamping with unmounted stamps, that don’t have there own foam on them. Or are going to create a new system for stamp blocks. I have many stamps that I haven’t mounted yet, that I’d love a second option to EZ Mounting each and every stamp.

Nice video, although I'm overwhelmed with information and a bit confused as well! I've tried sticky mats from different vendors before and none have been impressive. I do have your white stencil mat which works well with my ink pads. So still on that proverbial "fence" about buying yet another sticky/grip mat.

Will you be adding a tin to store the mats. I have the 8.5x8.5 mat and don’t have much strength so I find it difficult to pull the carrier sheets off. (I know that is pathetic, but I’m old!). I would use it more if I didn’t have to pull off the carrier sheets. I do love the mats. Thank you.

This is brilliant! Is it the same kind of material the gel printing “plates” are made from? Edit: hello?

@Waffleflowercrafts Жыл бұрын

Not familiar with gel plates but the Grip Mats are made from photopolymer. They are safe to use on top of our stencil mats. You cannot use gel plates on top of our mats because the mineral oil in them.

Do these mats retain their stickiness? Other mats I've purchased lose their stickiness after some use. I would like to know the true honest answer for whether or not these mats retain stickiness after long use please. They look wonderful and I'm very interested in hearing more.

@JM-lm5wl Жыл бұрын

Hi Christine, have you ever used photopolymer stamps? They never lose their cling. It’s the natural property of the material - instead of a “coating” on many others on the market today. You just need to refresh the surface with a baby wipe every now and then. Or wash with some mild soap for deep clean. You do need to pat it dry for it to be sticky again.

@lynnesachs2330 7 ай бұрын

I purchased the large on not thinking. Then I saw these extenders ? I am totally confused I really don’t know why I bought it. It wasn’t cheap and it does nothing for me. Perhaps you can explain the purpose.
