Cutting Mat Compatible with CricutExplore Air2/One Smart Cutting Maker Machine Expression 12 X 12 inch 3 Pack Replacement Variety Adhesive Vinyl Mats Lightgrip Standardgrip Stronggrip

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe how I never thought to give these a try before in the 2+ years I've owned my Cricut Maker. I got the variety pack and immediately used the Light (blue) mat to cut paper studio cardstock (used the medium cardstock material selection and default blade pressure). There is nothing cheap about these mats; they look great, work great, feel smooth and perfectly flat, even the plastic cover seems better than the cricut brand. It cut flawlessly on my Maker, much better than my cricut mat when it was brand new...and the amount of money I could have saved. It fits and feeds perfectly into the machine. Because it's new and I was cutting many small pieces, I used a spatula to peel the paper off instead of peeling the mat away from the paper, which would require some serious folding and I don't think that's a good idea; I had no issues at all. I have not tried the other 2 mats but plan on using the tackier mats for pearlized cardstock and glitter cardstock just because those are the materials that give me most trouble staying in place while cutting. The smell people are talking about is identical to the inflatable kids pools and beach balls, so it's actually pleasant imo and not an issue for me. Overall super happy with the results and I'm definitely never ever going back to paying full price for the name brand when these work so perfectly well 😍

I use these with my Cricut and they work very well to hold the vinyl and peel off easily enough. I have not done any cutting on them, just used them in the machine

I used to buy the Cricut mat for my project, and it is 1st time to try a brand new. These mats work perfectly with my air2. These are good except my vinyl keeps sticking.

Sticky, easy to use!

They’re work fine. Curl well to roll card stock off of the mat! The stickiness only lasts about a month. Rinsed and dried but did not come back to life like more expensive brands. 3 in a pack is great value though!

These mats have held up well. After repeated cleanings, they still grip my vinyl well and haven't warped. I would definitely recommend this product.

Love my mats! Lost 2 but I still have 1 left. lol

Used this for my machine & it has hands down the best grip to hold any vinyl you put on it, came with 3 & I only ever used one so far & it’s been a while since I’ve had these

Great mats for crafts

Good value

These are such great mats. In my opinion, 10000x better than the Cricut brand. For people saying they're too sticky, you need to stop buying the strong grip mats and buy the correct mat for what you are doing. I use the standard grip mats for all permanent and heat transfer vinyl and they work great.

Very strong adhesive backing. Would like to see more quantity for this price. I would recommend

These mats are soooooo much better than the cricut brand, i was skeptical at first because i seen the lines of what was cut , it didnt cut through but i could see the design i cut but as soon as i cut something else it was gone so im assuming its self healing ? But these mats are a must ! I have cut over 30 projects one just one so far and its just like new, the cricut mat i got to compare started to lose its stick after 20 projects ! These mats are well worth the money and it cmes in a three pack! Bonus !!!
