great tips! You can also put some ink on the mat, spritz it with some water and lay your watercolour paper down into it and smoosh it around to create lovely watercolour backgrounds without using a brush. nice way to use up the left over ink on the mat rather than wasting it by just wiping it off :)

So many neat ideas and uses for this mat! I need to look into getting one, and trying more of these techniques! Thanks so much!!

Great tips Angie. I never knew I could use my silicone mat for so many ways. Thank you.

[@D.von.N]

For the gluing technique I use the oven lining sheet, non-stick, and when the glue dries on it, I just scrap it off with my finger nail. I use a silicon layer on top of my glass mat at the moment, inking on it and so on. The benefit is that the glass mat doesn't reflect too much into my eyes from the lamp above it.

These were great tips. Thanks for sharing. I have also found it provides just enough extra cushion to make my Stamparatus work better when combined with the foam pad.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the tip using the makeup sponge with glue. I do use the mat for hot gluing and E6000, since they will not stick on it. Clean up is so easy.

[@ritafadams]

Very clever thanks for sharing

[@shalacarter9330]

Hello! These are brilliant. I wish I'd known about the gluing on of the intricate die Cuts before I went to my stamping Workshop tonight. Boy do I hate working with those. Have you seen any videos where people use the mat 2 create mirror images? It's awesome! Cheers!

[@janetmuir6011]

Thank tou for all the information.

[@Stahlmaks]

Thank you :) I knew about the glue, but not the tips on using it for ink!!

[@heatherupton820]

Great tips thank you. Love the hot glue idea...

[@ruthportway5198]

[@Wendyb473]

Thanks for the tips Angie. Ruth down under.

Thanks

[@renewestbrook5755]

Did you use acetate on the happy Birthday card? It's so shiny! If so, how did you adhere it?

[@michelleregis6181]

good hints, but can the pad be used to emboss a detailed die ?

[@charlinebosse1099]

Wow! I'm glad to know all these tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@susielesemann6665]

Do you work on the shiny side down or up ??

[@nancydoty4069]

is the sponge used with wet glue reusable, washable?

[@thucongthieunhi9914]

I want to find Silicone Craft Mat A3 for Sizzix machines where to sell

[@susielesemann6665]

Is your work pad shiny side up or down ??

[@SuperJune46]

where can you buy mat?

[@dagmarriley2923]

Great tips! I also use it in my Stamparatus for mirror images. Just wish the silicone mat were a little bit bigger; more like the standard or 12”x12” Card stock.

[@Charley711away711]

you can use it to reverse stamp too! Don't waste that ink. Spritz with water and drag paper through it for a cool background.

[@jeantaylor2308]

I stead of picking up your flower to get all the petals covered, turn the mat!

[@sherryy1743]

What is the complete name of this mat? And, where did you get it? When I look up "silicone mats", I get the kind used for baking. Not the same thing. Thanks! NEVER MIND....this is a Stampin' Up product that is no longer available.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

How do you deal with the fact that that card you spent so much time on is going to be thrown away?

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

You could of use the sponge on the blue circle.
