For a grip mat, hands down, the ultra sticky stampwheel mat from altenew is the best for ink blending! Waffle flower has a similar mat but it's not quite as sticky. And when they loose their stick over time, you can just wash it with water and it's sticky again. Both companies mats are made from photo polymer btw... I hope this helps you in the future ❤❤❤

Excellent video. Very talented lady!! Will only use the distress line of inks and archrivals. Love the Ranger line. Haven't tried those sprays, but just may. Laughed about "don't know how to re-thread" the sewing machine. I use my old, heavy straight stitch machine. But, like you, I need to have it at-the-ready to really want to do it. Love the picture of the sleeping crafter - hilarious. Keep the big Phaff machine for REAL sewing (yes God gave me too many talents). Loved the video - great tips kiddo. As before - God gave you some amazing talents too. Thank you for using your Christian sayings and such. Our world needs more of them right now.

You had me in tears. LOL. 6 hours to figure out what to do with it! Lazy to get the sewing machine out! Don't know how to re-thread the machine! That's me!😂 My biggest regret was not learning more about sewing. My mother was the expert and anything me or my sisters needed she took care of it. Fixing holes in jeans, hemming you name it. Her list of talent could go on forever and not just sewing talent. But yeah, I had to find on KZbin to re-thread, especially the bobbin. Great tips today..TY

I love the Waffle flower grip mat for everything but blending ink over card stock. Great for stencils and pretty much anything I need for the paper to stay put. But for ink blending I use the Tim Holtz grip stuff. I have it cut to the various card panel sizes I use and just slap it down on my glass mat. The paper stays out but I still get the glide from glass to paper. 200% agree paper matters for ink blending. I use oxides and tried every tool on the planet. Cheap one. Spendy ones. NOTHING worked until I switched paper. Voila! Problems solved.

Hey, Tiffany, for me the Waffle Flower sticky mats (which came out this year, made from photopolymer) are an ABSOLUTE game changer! The hold without ripping, great with paper, stencils, even tiny die cuts. They do not loose their stick (like some of the others). I find they are well worth the investment (even factoring in the p&p to Germany and the customs charges which come on top!). Give them a try! Kind regards from Germany, Nicola
