Love that you showed your adaption - we all need to remember things don't need to be perfect. Thank you

[@ardyth]

Thanks for watching!

[@dizzinese]

I’m convinced that although I can’t copy your style in my own cards, and we really both like the same thing; I knew somehow when I saw the sizzix video on this, I think this is there’s, I just had a gut feeling that you were going to love this one! The spiral looks super cool and you make it look so easy! But you have worked with circular stamping more than anyone I’ve seen and that makes you the expert on the different tool! I know you had a great time and I’m so excited to see what you learned and saw. You are killing it on this stamp wheel!

[@dizzinese]

Now I’ve been wanting the 9x12 grip mat from Altenew so badly. But now that I see waffleflower has a large one, I’m confused ! Any preference tips? Thank you!

[@ardyth]

I tried putting my Altenew mat from the stampwheel on the Stencil and Stamp base - because of the bumpy bottom, it had less contact with the base and didn't stick very well. It works perfectly in the stampwheel because there is a plastic frame around it, preventing it from moving. I don't know if the 9x12 Altenew mat has a smooth or bumpy surface. The WF 7.5x11 is smooth. Thanks for watching, Denise!

[@dizzinese]

@@ardyth the Altenew one has a grid pattern just like the stamp wheel mat , I’ve heard. I have the WF mat in my platform that has no edges which is why like it. And I just put down a little tap runner on the back of the mat so it doesn’t slide. I guess didn’t realize that you were using the WF large mat. I didn’t know they had a larger one like that. Which do you like better for stenciling outside of the tools?

[@annekeschep8148]

I really have to remember your z-fold trick for large stamped images. Great solution, thanks for sharing👍

[@andreavernot1315]

I don’t know how you always manage to figure out these designs!! Just love it!

[@ardyth]

Thank you! 😊

[@zoedoodle9824]

That's a brilliant way to use oversized stamps! I like the 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card size and have scratched my head about how to use square or over sized designs. I really appreciate this hack!

[@ardyth]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@juliecurtis9517]

I'm getting more and more convinced I should by both of the tools you used 😊

They're definitely a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!

Another genius card by the one and only!!! That mind of yours!!! Wow! Impressive!! THANK YOU for sharing your amazing art with us!! And, if you say the sticky mat works, then I’m down for it!! I’ve been wondering!!!!😘

[@ardyth]

I love my grip mats. I have found them so useful. And while they stain (especially with CP red/pink inks), getting the 'sticky' back is as simple as washing them in soapy water. Thanks for stopping by, my friend!

@@DiEtta Absolutely, I was just kicking myself for not saying that this type of design would work with many shapes for different looks!

Thanks so much! I just ordered a waffle flower sticky mat, I was hoping it would work with the sizzix stencil & stamp toll. Yeah!

[@ardyth]

If you watch my most recent video, you'll see one situation where I don't think I'll be using a grip mat with the stencil & stamp tool. But most of the time it's the perfect solution! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kcinca5410]

Clever way to ensure you could use the entire image (well, except for cutting it too short, oops). I haven't done another play yet but I just got some geometric shapes that I'm excited to try out. Now if I can just remember how I got my one sided light grip mat to stick in my stamping platform, I'll be all set to get rid of that paper sticky mat.

[@ardyth]

For a while, I was using a one-sided sticky mat - I just taped it to the base. Have fun! Thanks for watching!

[@DebbieJsCraftingCorner]

LOVE THIS! I was thinking the same thing, that it would be too thick to use a sticky mat. Now I'll have to buy another one just for this platform! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ardyth]

Since this video I tried it with a red background stamp and the sticky mat, and the combination is a bit much! But I made it work! LOL! (would definitely recommend removing the sticky mat for red rubber stamps to avoid strain on the door). Thanks for dropping by Debbie!

[@rtd1791]

I love it when you use supplies I already have. I would not have thought of the dot design. We all have those, don’t we? Oh. I just now realized you could use any of the eight spoke radially symmetric patterns to figure out where to place your stamps. All those dot mandalas on Pinterest. Of course other stamps will work. So much play in my future. Ardyth, thank you so much for jump starting my brain.

[@debbiehaney2467]

Well, Ardyth, you may have just convinced me to purchase the Sizzix tool rather than waiting to see if the updated Altenew Stanpwheel will accommodate 8.5”x11” card. I have a 9”x12” Altenew grip mat. Is the Sizzix platform big enough to try a 9x12? Can you test your mat from the original Stampwheel in the Sizzix tool to see if the door still closes properly and let me know? Thank you!!

[@ardyth]

9x12 mat will fit, and yes, my original Altenew mat works - because of the bumpy surface on the back, I'm not getting quite as good a grip onto the base as with the flat grip mat, but it could just be that my Altenew mat needs to be cleaned?

[@debbiehaney2467]

@@ardyth thank you!

[@LancashireLass]

I'm really starting to want that Sizzix tool. You're such an enabler. 😆

[@ardyth]

LOL! It really is fun - if you love circular designs, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
