Instructions & Care
Remove from acetate sheet and place grid side down.
Clean ink promptly with a wet wipe.
Occasionally rinse under running water, rubbing gently to remove dust.
Let the mat air dry before reuse.
Note: Dark inks (reds and blues) may leave stains, but this will not affect performance. To protect the mat, place a scrap sheet of paper when stamping off the edges of your project.
You can use a wet wipe to clean your sticky mat after every project, but if you feel it’s particularly dirty or dusty after several uses, rinse it under running water and rub gently to remove any ink stains or residue. Afterwards, leave it to air-dry before reusing.
This Original Sticky mat is larger than its 7.5” x 7.5” counterpart, making it the perfect companion for larger projects and thicker paper varieties and elements like watercolor paper.
It would depend on your personal crafting needs. This 9” x 12” Sticky Mat offers a good balance of very sticky hold and a good size for larger projects. It can hold bigger pieces of cardstock or watercolor paper, or have extra space for other supplies like inks, dies, and more.
I received my two sticky pads quickly after placing the order. Used one immediately. Love it. It held my paper in place perfectly, released easily without tearing my paper and cleaned up very easily. I would recommend this product 💯%❣️ Great customer support. Had a couple questions that were answered quickly and fully.

Love the Altenew Sticky Mat
The large size makes crafting flower pieces so much easier. In addition, it keeps ink cubes and pads in place for quick access when using stencils.
