Hello, friends! I recently spent some time playing with the new Grip Mats from Waffle Flower and have put together this video showing you ten ways to use them. There are plenty more than ten - I'm interested to hear your ideas! I hope you'll watch and let me know what you think. Wishing you a crafty day - Allison

![NEW Tool + Helpful Tips [and a Reminder!]](/img/tr.png)
I learned so much from watching your video!! And I absolutely love your cards. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving the comment. I appreciate your kindness!
Wonderful Video? I enjoyed every minute and second of the best 30:03 video. I learned a lot.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you found it helpful!
Wow...thank you! Very informative and helpful. Loved #5 especially.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you found it helpful. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thanks for #11. That's really a big selling feature for me. Lol They're all great tips. TFS❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found some helpful tips. I appreciate you watching ♥
Number 5 is a game changer for me! After 29 years of stamping, I have lots of unmounted stamps. This is a fantastic idea! Thanks!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Wouldn’t the rubber stamp just stick to the Misti door?
@@kaymcclurg9881 Unlike polymer stamps, red rubber has no "stick" to it, unless it's mounted on cling foam.
Great tutorial, thank you. I was so on the fence about this product but I think you pushed me over the edge. I can really see how useful they can be. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I still love my mats and use them every time I'm crafting.
Great informational video!! 🎉😊
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I really appreciate it ♥
Thnx so much for a thorough instructional video!!
I'm so glad you liked the video! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the terrific video. It helped me to figure out which ones worked best for me, and also the many ways to use it,. 😊
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! I am glad you found the video helpful.
Very nice tutorial!! 🍿
Thank you so much!
a big thank you for this video. I just purchased the 6.5x8.5 at a scrapbooking store this weekend for my birthday. thanks for showing us alot of ways on how to use this.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I am glad that you found the video helpful.
Great video Allison. I wasn't sure what size to get. They're all so versatile. TFS 💕
Thank you so much for watching! I think my new favorite size is the 7.5 x 11 because I can stencil and hold my ink pads all on one mat. Plus the ones that stay in my MISTIs.
Thanks so much for sharing your many ways to use the mats this was a helpful video
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad that you found it to be helpful.
Great video! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much!
Very thorough
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment.
This was such a helpful video. It gave me ideas for many more uses of my new grip mat. Thank you.
Great to hear! I'm so glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Thank you for the video and the information. These mats remind me of gelli mats.
Thanks so much for watching my video! Other than thickness (gel press is quite a bit thicker), they do appear similar when you look at them. But, the gel press is much softer.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for the storage idea. I was stressing over the storage……SSS zip bag….brilliant ❤
You're welcome! Don't stress. There are so many options for storing, as they don't take up a big footprint. By the way, over time I have changed the way that I store these. I don't store them with the "carrier sheets" anymore, as I found that it would take too long to struggle peeling them off. It's much easier for me to now store them between two sheets of copy paper, or scrap paper.
Great information!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it!
Great video thank you for all the great tips for the grip mats.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your kindness.
Great information! Love that this Grip Mat is going to get a lot of use in my crafting.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Excellent. I just found out about these grip mats. I now have some on the way.
You gave me great techniques I didn't have to come up with on my own, If I ever could have.
Thanks so much!
Great to hear! I'm so glad that you found my video helpful. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Bought the one to fit large Misty before you did this - thanks for the hints!!!
Hope you're enjoying your mat! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it!
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to order one!! 😂❤
They really are my most used tool now!
Thank you. I thought that you could not get ink on the grid mat. Great to know you can. Saved your video.
Thanks so much for watching the video! I get ink on my mats all of the time. It's really the dye inks with any sort of red in them that will stain, but it won't affect the usability at all.
Thank you, I learnt a lot and enjoyed your video.
Thank you! I'm so glad you found my video helpful.
Fabulous vid! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and commenting
Great video! Thanks for all the info💛
Thanks so much for watching and commenting - I appreciate it!
Now I really can’t wait to get mine! ☺️❤
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you find them as useful as I do.
Just found you and what a great help this video was, thank you!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you found the video helpful.
Amazing video. Concise. Informative. Well paced. I never leave comments, but this was great. 😊
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment.
Love these!
The mats are fantastic, for sure
You rocked it, Allison! Thank you for testing the unmounted stamps! And kudos to storage ideas for them!!! Thank you so, so much for sharing your talents with us!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you trusting me with the products. You guys keep knocking it out of the park every month!
An absolute terrific video! Thank you for showing so many uses and options, some of which I hadn't thought of (turn-about stamps) so I appreciate your sharing everything. At the start I thought I'd only be interested in the one to fit the original sized misti, but now believe I "need" the whole lot! Game changing products indeed. Thank you! Cheers, 😊
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It's definitely hard to choose just one size!
Thanks! This was so helpful!
Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm so glad you found it helpful.
OK...you've convinced me! I need to get some of these. Thanks for the informative videi,
Thank you so much for watching! I have been finding uses for these every day since making that video - they really are great.
This is one of the most practical versatile tools released this year. Waffle Flower really thinks through their designs. I’m am very impressed. I love waffle flower. Thanks for thorough review and showing storage ideas.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it. I totally agree. Waffle Flower is very thoughtful about their products - they really try to be innovative. I've been blown away by the releases this year.
Awesome ideas for use! Love the delicate die cuts trick-Genius! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful
Thank you so much for the demo! Bought this mat today and am excited to use it. 😊
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you find the mat to be as helpful as I do!
Very helpful video
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful
Thank you SO much for this in-depth video of SO many uses of the WF grip mats, Allison - very helpful! Glad I found you!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'm so glad that you found the video helpful!
Great video!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Very impressed by you and your video. New subscriber ❤
Thank you so much and welcome!
New subscriber here. I was interested in the wf grip mat but wasn't exactly sure of ways to use it and if it would be worth it. This was perfect and well done. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I am so glad you found the video helpful.
Great video. Thank you for all the tips I subscribed to your channel 😀.
Thank you so much for watching! And I really appreciate you subscribing, as well ♥
Thank you for the video. I love that you don’t try to do the video at 3x or 2x speed. Will the mats dry out?
Thank you for watching my video! Yes, the mats dry out almost instantly. Of course, I live in Colorado where it's dry. But, they're just like clear stamps - you wipe them off with a damp paper towel (or whatever you use), and they just dry really fast.
This video is thorough, informative, and extremely helpful. You did a great job explaining the many functions of this produce, and I appreciate the information.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment - I really appreciate it!
GREAT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU for showing us all the in's & out's of these new Grip mats! ;)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Game changer for being able to use my stamps removed from wood blocks. 💜💜💜
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it. I'm glad I included the tip about the unmounted stamps - there are a lot of us who have those!
Wow, so many ways to use these! I appreciate you sharing all the ways these can be used, soooo helpful! And I watched it all to the end…well worth viewing! Thanks so much! ☺️🙏
You watched it until the end?? You are the best, Marcy!
Thank you for this video, I received a 6 X 6 Grip mat, and was curious about the 2 sheets that came with it. I do 5 X 7 cards as well, so will get the regular Misti size.
Thank you so much for watching! As for those sheets, which I call "carrier sheets," I no longer store my mats with those. I just found it to be a little too challenging to pull them on and off each time I wanted to use a mat. But, I do love those sheets for purposes of masking an area that I'm stenciling, or stamping, so I do keep those sheets.
Great demo Allison! I loved how you showed the 10 things you could do with them. I was waffling 🤣 on whether this was something I really needed, but I am definitely considering getting at least one of them. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment! Love the pun - ha ha. If I were to purchase just one of them, I think I would get the 6x6.
I have unmounted red rubber stamps, this isa much easier and cheaper way to stamp them, great information
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it! I am glad you found the video helpful.
And yes, of course I watched it till the end! Loved all the cards!
Thank you so much! And you made it to the end - wow! I appreciate it.
I just got the mat, and had no idea how versatile it was until your video!! Thank you!
I hope you have been enjoying your mat! Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment!
Thank you for showing all of these and using them! Such great information! Now I need to figure which one(s) I gotta have!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!
Thank you for all of the wonderful information (and the finished cards) that you shared! You're a rock star. Taffy Boschetto, Calhoun, GA
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Yay! I have a bunch of unmounted stamps that I never use. I've been wanting something like this and almost bought one that didn't have the guide. This is the one I want!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I am glad you will have a good solution for using your stamps now.
Thanks Allison, you gave the best overall explanation of using these mats so far. Now I think I got the bug! 💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
Thank you for these fantastic ideas! Very, very helpful for first time user of the grip mat - looking forward to the next video 😊
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you found the video to be helpful.
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing all of these ideas. I have a ton of unmounted stamps and they are a pain to use with my Misti. This looks like it will hold them. Yeah! Thanks again. Great job 👍❤️
Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching the video. I really did try to pick the most difficult unmounted stamp in my stash to test it with, so I hope that others will have success using theirs as well.
great job I haven't bought the mats because wasn't sure I would use them - watched this twice now I think I might thank you
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! My friend and I were just talking today about how our favorite "new" products that have come out this year are the grip mats. I don't think I ever have a craft session now without using them in some way.
This was the most helpful video I’ve seen! It was full of crafty goodness. Thank you for the storage ideas. 😮 💡
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for making this video. Your examples of using the Waffle Flower grip mats and accessories were an excellent overview of your 10+ demonstrations. Well done!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and leaving such a kind comment.
Thanks so much Allison! I was already excited about these new Grid Mats but now I see even more ways to use them. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Love your vid and tut!! Being the Grip mat is made from same material as our photopolymere stamps are, WHY didn't the Grip mat STAIN, using the Red dye? Thank you
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! You may be referring to when I used the popcorn stencils and the red ink? That didn't stain the mat because it was Distress Oxide ink. Because Oxides are water reactive, you're able to just use a wet cloth to wipe off the mat, and it shouldn't stain. Dye inks are totally different - those will stain the mats. But, like our clear stamps, the mat will still work perfectly fine if it gets stained!
Great video with great uses for the grip mats!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting - I appreciate you!
I think I want to try the 8.5x8.5 in my 12x12 MISTI
I think that would be a great idea. I don't have that size MISTI, but I thought about it when I saw that large grip mat
@@allisonfrazier I have large grouped layering stamps that I think are BEAUTIFUL, but I don't like using. The stamps tend to lift the paper no matter how many magnets I use. This may make using them more fun. I bought stamp and die sets and probably spent about $350. Yes, I was crazy. They are GORGEOUS, and if a grip mat made them easier to use, I would be beyond thrilled.
I'm a prolific card maker, and I love this hobby, but I also see on an angle so I have issues lining things up.
What a wonderful video!!! Thank you for showing us the many ways to use them and I could’ve watched even longer I didn’t want the video to end…….. I have bought them and can’t wait to try every thing that you showed. I’ve seen a few other videos on these mats, but they don’t even come close to your video the way you explain everything ❤❤ !! again thank you very much!!! I look forward to many more videos.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I'm so glad it was helpful!
Hi Allison! Thanks for such a comprehensive video on the grip mats! I am thrilled that Waffle Flower released these and can see how much thought they put into them. I’m so happy to give up tape by using mine! Tape is great for so many needs in my craft room but it gets pricey. Likewise it’s great to be able to use my cloth towels to clean with, because paper towels are not cost effective. I only purchased one mat and the guides ~ so I can see if I want more of them.
I plan to be making cards for a long time and won’t be covered up in paper towels or tape, YAY! Joan
Thank you so much for watching the video and leaving a comment. I hope you find the grip mat helpful. I really love mine and use them daily.
The grip mats remind me of a gel plate. The grid mats are great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it! Other than thickness (gel press is quite a bit thicker), they do appear similar when you look at them. But, the gel press is much more squishy
Wow what a marvelous idea! Thanks for the information!!
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment - I appreciate it!
Such a great video 😀!! You gave tips and helped me decide which sizes to go with too 👍🏼! Loved your demos and when u showed your finished cards 😃! Great job!! 🌸
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you for a very comprehensive video!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for showing it with stamping with unmounted stamps, that’s something I was wondering if it had enough strength to do so.
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I really appreciate it. I'm glad that seeing it with the unmounted stamp was helpful.
Thank you for sharing all the ideas!!!
Thank you so much! I hope you find the ideas to be helpful.
Great video providing both your opinion/experience & “how-to” - these grip mats & extras are going on my wish list!!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment - I appreciate it!
@@allisonfrazier 😊
Allison, your video is Amazing! I am so happy I took the time to watch it finally. (On my holiday, hihi). This is a great product, I hope to find it in stores soon. Again, great video, I love the cards as well. Hugs, Cis.
Awww, thanks for spending holiday time watching my video! I appreciate it, Francisca!
Superb video! So helpful and so many great ideas! I've ordered two grip mats (did so hours before watching your video) and I am excited to get them! Thanks SO much!
Lori S in PA
Thank you so much, Lori! As always, I appreciate you watching and commenting. You will love the mats.
I've been looking for a sticky mat and this is great info!!! Thanks
Thanks for watching, Joan!
Great video so informative! Tips on the storage ideas was great!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful.
thank you for this video, Allison. I just ordered the bundle. Having tried all the other grip mats out there, these really seem to address all the issues. I especially like the fact that they are easy to clean. I've ruined a few brutus monroe mats trying to clean them, even following the instructions and the special cleaner. The coated ones just don't work for me.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. The cleaning factor is huge, for sure. I have other "sticky" mats, too, and I am always afraid to even try cleaning them. They still are useful to me when I know I'm not going to get them all inked up. But, not having to worry about it is key. I hope you enjoy your mats!
I just watched your video and was so impressed by all that you can use these Grip Mats and Grid mats for. My one question...it looks like things stick to your Grid Mat but nothing sticks to my mine when I put on top of my Grip Mat. I ended up trimming off the edges of the Grid Mat to make it smaller than the Grip Mat and then put it under the Grip Mat so the Grip mat would stick to the Misti.What did I do wrong?
You're referring to the clear guides, of which there are 2 that come with the grip mats? I actually don't even use mine. When I put my grip mat into my MISTI (or even on top of my craft mat), I can see through to the guidelines on the MISTI, so I just don't find the need for that guide/grid. I think some people leave it on the bottom of their Grip Mat so that they can move it around in their MISTI, but I prefer to have my mat "grip" to the bottom of the MISTI and not move. This video was made when I first started playing with these mats, so my use and even storage of them has evolved. One thing that has not evolved - I still love these grip mats and use them almost every time I craft. To answer one of your questions, though: Nothing sticks to those clear guides, other than the grip mat itself. Those are just basically sheets of acetate.
This was a very helpful video! It looks like a great product and I can’t wait to get mine.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. I am so glad that you found it helpful!
I wonder if you can do some of the same things with your jelly plate?
I don't think a gel press and the grip mats are interchangeable. A lot of people are wondering that. Maybe there is some overlap, but the gel press is much more squishy. The gel press may do what my #11 tip was - holding die cuts in place so you can glue/stack. I'm not sure stenciling on a gel press would work well due to the fact that it's not firm enough. And definitely couldn't stamp with it. It's an interesting thought - I'm sure someone will figure out if there are overlaps.
@@allisonfrazier no jelly plate does not work. I gave it a try to see. Now I think I will try using my dollar tree sticky mat.
But I do think I will get one of these grip mats
Well, wouldn't you know it, more things that seem to be indispensable. Even to long-time stampers! They all look like great tools to cut down on the amount of tape we all use. I use tons of double-sided tape to stick my red rubber to acrylic blocks. Thank you so much for a great video! I am wondering how thick the grip mats are since they fit into the misti. Happen to have a caliper around?
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! The mats are about 1/8" thick
@@allisonfrazier Thanks, Allison! from Beth
Any idea if the 6 x 6 would work on my Tim Holtz stamp platform since it does not have a spring hinge like the Misti?
Thank you for the demo.
I hadn't even thought about Tim's platform! But I have his platform, and I just tested it out. I first put the 6x6 in there, but there was a lot of room left. So, I put the 8x8 grip mat in there, and it fit perfectly! If you're talking about the full size platform, which is what I just tested it in, the measurements on that are 8.5"x8.5". So either one of those grip mats would work. So would the other sizes, since the 8x8 is the largest. I put the grip mat in, put a scrap piece of paper on the mat, flipped the lid of the platform as if I was going to stamp a rubber stamp, and I was able to get a great stamping with a clear stamp!
I haven’t bought any of the sticky mats on the market except for the ones used for the cricut machine (which I don’t own. ) I did try to get my hands on the Tim
Holtz Mat, but was never successful. It was always sold out.
Thank you for this demonstration, you’ve sold me on this collection. Don’t think I need them all, but will probably try to order a few. I’m thinking they may even hold the ink like the ink stands on the market (?). Worth a try. 😆Thank you for this video. I’m also wondering now if this is anything like the gel mat used for background mixed media (?) 🤔
Oh, wow! I hadn't thought about it holding inks - that's a brilliant idea that I'm going to try! If you're referring to the gel press, this is not as squishy as that. So, while I think it may be able to do something "close" to what a gel press does, I don't think it would really duplicate the results. If I were going to pick just a few of the sizes, the 6x6 would be the first one I'd get. And if you have the mini MISTI, I like the one that fits in there, too. Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving a comment.
Do the stencils curl after removing them from the mats like paper does when removing from the Cricut mats?
No, I have not had that problem at all.
Potrebbe essere usato come Gelli plate, inoltre consiglio di tenerlo fra 2 fogli di carta piuttosto che con la plastica così non si formano le bolle. Voi siete fortunati, chissà quando arriva in Italia e a che prezzo!!!
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment - I really appreciate it. And thank you for the tip about keeping the mats between paper instead of the plastic - I will give it a try!
This was a great video. I have not worked with any of this stuff but it looks like something I’d really like to look into. I am a Stampin’ Up demonstrators so we don’t have a lot of this stuff but I like to try out new stuff to, so where do I order this And are there instructions when it all comes because I might not remember everything that you did in this video. Very inspiring. I am from British Columbia Canada in a small town that doesn’t have a craft store so I have to wait till I go to Kelowna to get it unless I can order it online.
Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment! There are links in the description to my video that will take you directly to the products where you can order. There are some basic instructions on the back of the packaging, but I think once you start using it, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. It's just a great way to stamp and stencil without having to worry about magnets/tape/etc.
What is the paw print stencil set you used called?
Sorry, I forgot to add that to the supply list! There is now a link in the list. It is the Paw Print Stencil Duo from Waffle Flower.
Could these be used as gel press too?
That's an interesting idea! I'm not really sure. It's definitely not as squishy, so I'm going to guess that it probably would not give as good of a result as a traditional gel press. But now my mind is wandering with other possibilities. Thank you for the comment!
mplease can you tell me how to take the grip off the
grip mats mine rip my paper? I have tried detergent isacol hand sanitiser stamp cleaner Nothing work
I have never had paper rip, so I'm thinking that maybe you're using thinner paper? If you're talking about the grip being strong, then I'm assuming your grip mat is new. One way to lessen the grip is to just press down on the mat with your hands - this will take away some of the grip. And you can always make the grip stronger later on by cleaning it with water. If you're continuing to have problems, though, I do suggest contacting Waffle Flower customer service.
Hi I am so sorry you haven’t helped me one bit. I purchased the 6.5 by 8.5 what is the point of it? Are you saying you have to purchase all the other items for these plastic to work? Don’t know how these sheets work? Please explain. Thanks
You don't need to purchase anything more than just the one mat for it to work. I'm not sure if you're referring to the mat itself or the clear sheets that it comes packaged with? The sheets have to be removed from the grip mat in order for it to work.
Hello I did purchase one package. It has different sheets and a clear Matt. I don’t understand how to use it? I don’t have a misti .although I do have a stampin up one it could be the size of a misti but even so . Still don’t get it. I thought it was supposed to help with card size.
Thank you
I am sorry. If you have already watched my video and/or other people's videos about the Waffle Flower grip mats, and you still don't understand what they're used for, then I would suggest you contact whoever you bought them from.
When do they start shipping?
I don't work for Waffle Flower, so I'm not sure. I would guess that they are restocking them as quickly as they can.
What is the yellow mat holding your ink pad can you send me the link to buy it? Do you think a clear grip mat that you are showing on this video would do the same thing as that yellow mat to hold my ink pad in place?
Sorry, I thought that I had included a link to that in my description, but I must have forgotten. That is the "Pawsitively Everything Tool" from Simon Says Stamp. Here is a link, but they also come in just about every other color, too: shrsl.com/41nud
Yes, ink pads stick to the grip mat, too! And I do actually do that sometimes. I do find that I can leave my "everything" tool out on my desk at all times, though, without worrying about stuff sticking to it, so it is very convenient. It can also hold a glass of water or coffee cup! Or lots of other things :-)
is it the same material as a gelli plate?
No, it is not as squishy as a gelli plate. It is made from high-quality photopolymer, which is what most clear (quality) stamps are made from
Do you know when these will be in stock to buy?
That, I don't know. I expect that the response to these was pretty overwhelming! I know that Waffle Flower is accepting pre-orders, so the best way to get them (if you're interested) is to do that. That way, you wouldn't miss out on the second round when they restock.
I have a hard time getting the paper off the mat!
I haven't had too much of a problem with that, although I do find that the thinner the paper, the more it will stick. And over time, it's definitely less of a problem. You might try lifting the grip mat itself and then bending the top and bottom of the mat backwards to help release the paper.
