Welcome new crafter Marina! I am using the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool. I love this one because you can also purchase a ‘stamp wheel’ accessory which allows you to make stamp wreaths & an extension which allows you to stamp & stencil on books, journals or anything thicker.

I’m so glad you found it helpful! 😊

@@katrinamurphy1493 In my personal experience, they stamp the same as stamping with photopolymer (clear) stamps. I was frustrated with foam because depending upon the pressure, the foam could force recessed parts of the image down onto the paper ie. the tummy of a chick would get a smudge because the foam forced it into the ink & onto the paper 😢. I have been using unmounted stamps for 20 years & would never go back 😊. Hope I answered that okay, please reach out if I can help any further! 🤗

@ thank you, this was really helpful.

Thanks so much! I really loved how the foiling turned out, how the entire project turned out! Thank you Nadine!!🤗

@@melittasmakin You're welcome! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the project!

I know exactly what you mean, it's so frustrating! 😠 I’m all smiles now though! 😊

I know you’re going to really like your stamp and stencil but with the mat you’re going to LOVE it! Since you’re one handed, I’m thinking you may want to keep a ruler as spacer between the mat and lid instead of the plastic grid sheet as it definitely requires the strength of 2 hands for me to remove it but a ruler would easily be removed 😊❤

No not a machine, I just misspoke, the stamp platform is 2 plastic pieces hinged together to close like a book and I put the photopolymer sticky mat on the bottom layer to hold the paper in place while I stamp. 😊

I’m so glad you found it helpful! 🤗 Let me know your thoughts on the Waffle Flower Mat as I’ve not seen that one! I agree regarding the MISTI mat, I followed the instructions diligently but it just stopped being effective. 🤗

You are so welcome! 🤗

You’re so welcome! 😊

I have purchased them from Ali Express, Temu & Amazon. Just search: a6 binder pockets 😊

You’re so welcome! ❤

I’m so glad you found it helpful, I still use mine almost daily!

@@melittasmakin thank you!

What a great idea! I’m going to do that for sure! Thanks 🙏

I’ll have to check this out thanks

It is such a pain! I hope this solves that problem for you!

@@katemills9834 over on my blog: melittasmakin.blogspot.com/2020/05/transparency-grids-for-stamping.html?m=1

I am so glad you found it helpful, I am still using mine daily after 6 months without any issues! This was the solve we needed! 🤗

You are so welcome!

@@laurasutton1551 it stays stuck! It’s been on my Stencil & Stamp tool for 6 months now & while it might lift a little on the corner when I pull up the plastic, it hasn’t left the tool surface even once! And the waffle pattern is against the tool surface so that tells you how strong the grip is! Trust me, you won’t be sorry! By the way, I misspoke in the video when I said silicone, it’s actually photopolymer, the same material clear stamps are made from.

I bought the Memory Keepers sticky mat but not thrilled with the stamping. Is the Altenew a little thinner?

@@susanlefevre632​​⁠I haven’t seen the WeR mat so I couldn’t compare but the Altenew Mat is approximately 1/8” thick. I have no issues using my stamp platform with it. If you wanted to use foam backed stamps you would need to purchase the Sizzix extension for this platform.

They have different stickiness ones also

@@madusonkeeperThe Altenew I use is the Ultra Sticky 9x12 Mat: altenew.com/products/9x12-ultra-sticky-mat-grid or the 7.5 x 7.5” depending on your stamp platform needs altenew.com/products/stampwheel-ultra-sticky-mat-grid

I am so glad I could help! 🤗

That is such a great idea! 😊

I’m so glad you found me! The Advent kit usually goes up for sale around October and the kit price for 2024 was $100 CDN so that’s only about $69 in USD. She definitely ships to USA! And check out her other kits as you won’t be disappointed! simplystateddesign.ca I use Simply Stated kits all the time so you will see tons on my channel! Great to meet you & thanks for writing! 🤗

Hi @bjack! This mat is not ‘gel’ like a gel plate, it is made from the same photopolymer that acrylic stamps are made from & acrylic stamps can remain on their plastic sheets indefinitely, without harm. This plastic sheet is actually what came attached to the stamp grid when I purchased it from Altenew. I haven’t had any issues for the last 6 months but I will keep my eye out for signs of trouble 😊

@melittasmakin hi, ho usato subito i miei Gelli plate come si usa ora il plate di altnew.... è sempre silicone.... più o meno morbido... ho fatto molti esperimenti a riguardo.... soprattutto perché certe cose costano troppo, rispetto ai materiali, pensa che mi sono costruita anche la wheel ...

You are so welcome! ❤

Absolutely! 😊 #1-Goo Gone! At least that’s what it’s called in Canada. I buy it at Canadian Tire, it’s a product that came out about 2-3 decades ago to remove gum from carpets etc. it has an orange oil scent. It completely breaks down glue, just work a little under a corner, give it a few minutes then start peeling back. Add more as needed. #2-but more expensive, UnDu. This product came out during scrapbooking’s boom, especially to remove adhesive from photos & sticky albums, without harming the photo at all! Same technique to remove. #3-Blow dryer. Heat will loose the adhesive however be careful not to burn yourself! Hope that helps & I’m so glad you found my channel too 🤗

You're so welcome 😉

I hope you’re able to make it work! I am so glad I was able to give you an idea to try 👍 ❤

I stuck mine to a glass cutting mat I already had - it stays on there so I don’t need to peel on and off; it’s now portable; and, I as I said in another comment, I cover the top with a Dollar Tree cutting mat so it stays clean and dust free between uses. Good luck!

You're so welcome! 😊

I do that very thing all the time but since I was demonstrating a ‘kit’ I was worried about confusing people by straying away from the included instructions. I do highly recommend cutting out anything that would be covered up 😊👍🏻 Thanks for posting that for others and I will make mention of it in my next video! ❤

Just drop her a note, I’m sure she has just been so crazy busy that it just slipped her mind 😊

Isn’t that cool?! Everything you need, with the exception of glue, in one box!

Glad you liked it Yuko! 👍🏻

You’re so welcome! I’m enjoying it so much & I know you will too! 🤗

I will have to try that because I have so many cards/inserts with glue residue 😢

@@melittasmakin Roller. Sigh. If it doesn't work all the way, use a crumbless eraser first, then the lint roller.

Just an FYI. You mentioned that it's silicone. Pretty sure it's photopolymer. Thanks for sharing! 😊

@@mrsmcphate​​⁠you’re absolutely right, I didn’t even catch that I misspoke the wrong word! Great catch! Thank you! 🙏

@@sweetsarah9702 Head over to my blog and you will see the link at the bottom of the post 🤗. My blog post: melittasmakin.blogspot.com/2020/05/transparency-grids-for-stamping.html?m=1

@@bjpreusser I know you’ll get many happily straight stampings from them and thank you for subscribing! 🤗

@@samanthac5761 I hadn’t heard of the Waffle Flower, I gotta check that out! I was just fed up with the glue from the sticky sheets all over my craft room, I knew there had to be a better way! 🤗

@@melittasmakin waffleflower makes the mats in many sizes, I have the one that fits the misti but I don't use it that way. Was considering getting another for my stampin up stamparatus (discontinued platform) but decided to go BIG with the 9x12 like you did.

You’re so welcome 😉

Yes I’m fine with that as long as you credit
