I LOVE these mats!! I've got 2 sizes and use them every day. Best invention since sliced bread. I just run mine under water and they're perfect every time. ❤❤❤
Howdy, I just watched Vicky Papaioannou presentation of this new grip mat and some great Christmas cards -- I, too, cannot wait to get this - Great product.
I'm so intrigued by these! How am I just now finding out about these! Fantastic! Finally something I am excited about trying!
“They will live in my misti forever.” I laughed at this! You’re so cute Nina, great introduction and product idea! Love how you placed customers first and worked solutions out for us ❤

Thank you for your kind encouragement!
I want to give credit to Rebecca Keppel for making me aware of your new mats. I ordered before I watched your video, and can hardly wait to try them. Kudos to all of you.
Thank You So VERY Much for coming up with these AWESOME New Products for US 🤗🤗🤗 I can't wait to be able to get one each for My Original MISTI and My MINI MISTI ❤❤❤
This is genius, and the first tool I'm spending money on in a LONG time.
HOLY MOLY! I can not WAIT for these! Thank you so much for all the thought, planning, testing that went into these!
Your new grip mats are a BRILLIANT invention and I look forward to receiving mine when they are back in stock. 🙂
I Love Waffle Flower! The thoroughness of design is impressive. You have knocked the ball to another planet. This is the most useful, practical tool released this year hands down. Thank you!
Wow Nina! i am finally ready to get onboard with these new products and your video was so helpful! Thank you!
This is great! I cut one of the stencil mats down to do reverse stamping in my misti! No more…. I need this!
I can’t wait for my Release Grip Mat Bundle to arrive. The pre orders will be fulfilled by the end of July, correct?
Whoa! Brilliant. Can't wait to get my hands on these mats.
Can’t wait to get the one for the original Misti!
Purchased yesterday at my local craft shop. Got the last one. Was told they sold out fast. This will be staying in my Misti. Now I need the largest square one for my glass mat. Truly a game changer.
Nina you are a genius!

Oh My Gosh! I am so excited for these! I love that it will go in my original Misti so I don't need anymore magnets! And the larger one will fit inside my large 12x12 Misti. Such a game changer!! They will live in my Misti forever as well. ;)

🙌Happy Stamping!
I am so impressed!!! You thought of everything! The stencil extender literally made my jaw drop with how clever of a solution that is 🤩 Wow!
Wow, I can't wait for this to become available and I hope you have over stocked them as I can see a very quick sell out. Yay!
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
No More Magnets!! 😊 My favorite part of this video!! Thank you for these new products!!
WOW!!! I can't wait to order my new mats for both of my Mistis. Thank you so much, these look fantastic.
Thanks for the video!! This looks amazing and I am very impressed by hearing your whole process, Nina. Also, it's great to see you on camera! Lori S in PA
BRILLIANT! I want them all! 🥰
Brilliant! Nina, you are so innovative! Just love all the efforts you put into these amazing new products!!!
Love my mat!
Sounds like you have addressed all the issues with the currently available sticky mats. I cannot wait to try these out. They look very promising. Thank you for your thoughtful approach to all the frustrating bits of crafting.

Nina, thank you for such an innovative product! This has taken my stamping and stenciling to the next level, I am in awe of this amazing product! Thank you!!!
Very smart system!
This is fantastic! All the sizes but what blew my mind was the extender for the stencil. Definitely will get these items. Thank you so much for such well thought mat release
Great video! I’ve ordered some already and plan on getting all of them eventually. Your thought process covers everything. A real game changer. Thank you for all your hard work!
Love this! Very creative and I'll definitely need one for the Misti!

So excited for this!
Wow! This is amazing!
OMG! I don't own any of the mats but these are so innovative. I need the grid mats n all the mats 😍😍😍
Thank you can’t wait to try them.
Is there a video for the guides specifically please? Just bought the set and would like to see how they are used. Thanks
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.

Awesome!! Looking forward to moving it into my Misti!
I can't wait to get mine! Great job Waffle Flower!
Loooooove this!!

Love that you have thought of so many applications and simple solutions. I was wondering if these mats could be a reusable alternative to press n seal ?

you probably won't be able to flip it if there are lots of smaller pieces? They do need to be in contact to be able to grip.

@@Waffleflowercrafts I guess some experimenting will have to take place once I buy it!
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.
Clever!! ❤❤
Yes!!
I’m looking forward to trying these. Seems like you’ve tried to cover all the issues - your “engineering” of the concept and all of its little nuances is impressive!

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.
Holy cow I just came from a creative muse in subscribe to your channel. This looks fabulous. I will use it in my Misty. I will use it for Inc. blending all the things thank you for a wonderful product.❤🎉
These mats are fantastic. However I have noticed that the green print on the alignment guides comes off? Want solution to this?
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.
Hi there. Just received my mat yesterday, im looking forward to using it. Can you heat embose on the mat?
What grip mat do you recommend as a project saver?
Omgoodness please make a 7 x 7, I have a Stampinup Stamparatus and need something sticky I hate those magnets, but don't want to have to buy a Misti.

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion but we probably won't be adding a new size soon. The 6x6 Grip Mat should do well in it though :)
Do I need to avoid acrelic paints getting on this too? And would any alchohol inks or pens damage this please?

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.
Hi. These look great, but will they work in the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform where there is no mouse pad to remove to allow for the thickness of the Grip Mat?

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.

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.
How do you store the grip mats so they don't get lint and dust on them? Should we wrap them in cling wrap?

A bit pricey
