Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for use with the Cricut Expression machine (sold separately), this set of two cutting mats offers a simple way to accurately trim paper, vinyl, and other media for use with crafting projects. The durable units feature a thin layer of tacky adhesive, which gently grips materials and holds them flat to prevent tearing or shifting during trimming. Printed with easy-to-read rulers and measurement markings, the mats remove the guesswork from cutting, which means fewer mistakes and less wasted paper. Best of all, the reusable units last anywhere from 25 to 40 full mat cuts (depending on the type of paper cut), making them a smart and efficient addition to crafting collections. Generously sized to hold a variety of paper or cardstock for scrapbooking, card-making, and other paper crafts, each cutting mat measures approximately 12 by 12 by 1/5 inches.

Product Description

This 12" x 12" cutting mat is custom designed for cutting the most intricate shapes with the Cricut Expression machine. Its large area means you can cut bigger images than is possible for most traditional die cutting machines. The surface treatment gently adheres to cardstock, vinyl, and other material to ensure smooth and accurate cuts every time. Printed rulers and markings facilitate convenient and accurate use. Gently adheres to paper to ensure smooth and accurate cuts every time. Includes 2 mats.

One of the mats cracked within 20 minutes of opening. The other one works well.

How to save yourself some dough and reuse your old mats: purchase Aleene's TACK-IT Over & Over (Not to be confused with Aleene's Tacky Glue) at a craft store and make a solution of 60% water and %40 glue. Paint it on the mat with a foam brush taking care to avoid the non-sticky edges. Let dry completely (about 30 minutes), then walk your hands all over the mat several times to keep it from being TOO sticky. Ta-da! I have tried this and it works GREAT!!! If your mat gets too much built up glue, simply remove it with acetone nailpolish remover, rinse with water, and start fresh. <3

I always have backup Cricut products on hand and Amazon has the best selection of items, in stock & the best prices. These mats are sometimes hard to find in stores and I received mine in a few days (I have the Prime membership though).
You can wash and dry the ones you have and alternate using 2-3 mats to keep them in use alot longer. You can also make them less sticky by placing a clean white t-shirt over them to reduce some of the stick that can tear lightweight paper or vellum.

I've seen these listed on amazon for insane prices too ($50 or $60) Right now though they are reasonable at $12.00 per set of 2 (this is the same price walmart charges minus the tax) plus they are having a buy 3 get 4 sale right now! I am paying $4.50 per mat or $9.00 for the set (I've just purchased 20 sets) This price is better then any I've seen anywhere online and considering Joann and Michaels won't accept 40% coupons for them it's better then any price I've found elsewhere. Please comment/respond to my review if you can find a better deal or if amazon is offering a better special or base price :-)
