Quick Tip Tuesday

Hi everyone it is Tuesday so time for another tip!  When I get a new mat it is just way to sticky for some of the thinner papers.  So what I do to take some of the stickiness away from the mat is gentley press my hands all over the mat so that the oils from my hands take some of the stickiness away.

Another way to do this as suggested on the Cricut chat site is by using an old t-shirt and pressing it lightly onto the mat.  This will transfer some of the fibers from the t-shirt and reduce the stickiness enough so that the paper doesn't permanently attach to the mat.

Hope this helps!  Happy Crafting Pam
