You can use these with or without your stampwheel to hold paper and stencils in place. I know for the stampwheel 1.0 they show it used underneath the sticky mat and I did that for a while, but I'm actually using it on top of the sticky mat and I like it. It's not damaging to pull up the paper and I like the black one because it doesn't show ink stains. You can extend the life of your stampwheel sticky mat this way. I am also using the white one on top of my stampwheel 2.0 just because and I placed it in the center of the mat area. Don't let the 1.0 size stop you from using it with 2.0 whether you place it under or over the sticky mat.
