works great with silhouette

Purchased for my silhouette cameo. Definitely a tougher thicker mat than my silhouette mat and MUCH cheaper. If you want your grid lines to match up you have to trim it down because the borders are a bit larger than the silhouette mat. In my opinion they loose their stick much faster than silhouette mats but with a mixture of Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over and water it will be good a new. These mats STINK it goes away after a while. Be sure and let it air out before first use or you will end up with a headache!

Vinyl it works great because vinyl has a smooth backing paper

came as expected. Comes with 2 mats. Maybe it was me, but I thought it was only one mat. But there are two. I think the standard grip of Cricut mats are too sticky for paper. Vinyl it works great because vinyl has a smooth backing paper. But cardstock or thick paper, I had the worst time getting it off. But I saw a tip to make it a little less tacky, take a lint free shirt and lay it on the board and pull off a couple times and that should take off that extra amount. I have used my mat maybe 3-4 times now, and I think the stick is about right now. At least for vinyl which is what I use it for the most.

Quality is great. Adhesive is great, sticks but not overly sticky

I needed to purchase more cutting mats for my new Cricut Explorer One since I've been using it so much. You can never have too many cutting mats though when you do a lot of vinyl or scrap-booking with your Cricut machines. Quality is great. Adhesive is great, sticks but not overly sticky. I've had mats in the past that was so sticky it ripped my scrapbook paper. The adhesive on these mats are just the right stickiness. It's not meant for paper thinner than card stock though. Even though it's standard adhesive, it can still rip through some scrapbook materials.

Love the Cricut mats

I do not use a Cricut as I have a larger plotter I use for making sand blast masks, however I like the cricut mats. I use them when I need to make a mask for a job where I am not going to roll feed which is really most of the time. They are one of the best out there. The adhesive holds the mask down without needing to tape it down and it stays tacky for quite a while without needing to be refreshed. WHat more can one say...they really are one of the best matts I have used...so much so i no longer try and others.

Must buy

I have had 3 cricuts over the years and they all work wonderfully. These mats are awesome. I can cut a million different things on these mats, gently clean them, and continue to use them. I try to designate mats for the types of cuts I’m making (ie paper, cardstock, leather, felt,etc). The differentiation allows me to get a lot more use out of my mats. At first the mats can be extremely sticky so putting your hands on it can help reduce the sticky just a smidge. Be careful with fibrous items because they are very tough to get clean. You’ll run through mats much quicker if you don’t use a contact sheet cover to protect your mat!

Works great for my silhouette cameo.

I have been using these mats for quite a while with my silhouette cameo. I find that they are very compatable, especially when I trim just a bit off of the top to match the measurements of the silhouette mat. The price is my main reason for using these. You can get two mats for almost half the price of one silhouette brand mat. I use heat transfer vinyl, and the stickiness of these mats are perfect for that. I have never had an issue with them tearing my vinyl. If you find that the stickiness has diminished, it's very easy to gently wash and air dry to regain it. I will most likely keep using these over the silhouette brand, unless they decide to come down on their prices

The only color I use

I use them when I need a strong grip when they are new and use them when I need less of a grip when I get old. Also I use awesome spray with the scraper to clean them and they get tackier after that. I usually can keep my mats for over a few months using the awesome spray from dollar tree.

which seems like a good idea

They get the job done! I use with a Cricut explore air. My first mat I was quite rough with as I was new to my cricut. I didn't realize that I was using a setting that was too high and that I shouldn't have a ton of scoring marks on my mat. Eventually it wore down and I accidentally cracked it. Oops :) Always have lots of mats! I know some people designate their mats for certain materials only, which seems like a good idea.

I love that they're more affordable than silhouette mats too

These work PERFECTLY with my Silhouette Cameo 2. I trim them down to match the size of the silhouette mats but it's not necessarily important to do so. I always desticky mats before using, especially when using with cardstock, and these need it as they are very sticky. Even desticky if you are using with adhesive vinyl because it will be hard to remove the backing from the mat if you don't. I love that they're more affordable than silhouette mats too. Great mats, I will purchase again.

Love these larger cricut mats!

These mats are intended for the cricut. It cuts larger items (12x24) so it’s double the standard size the comes with the cricut. I love these mats. I was able to create large signs with them. They’re super sticky when you first use it. It ripped my Oracle vinyl sheets. After the first use, it no longer did it. I purchased these mats here because they were the cheapest I’ve seen for two mats.
