Cricut Cutting Mats - 12" x 12" Standard Grip Cutting Mat (2 Pack) Green 2001974

I purchased these to use with a silhouette portrait (I cut them down the right hand side with big kitchen scissors to fit), and they’re much better quality than the Silhouette mats. They’re cheaper, and slightly thicker which makes them harder wearing. I use them with sticker paper and 300gsm cardboard, my machine takes them exactly as it does the Silhouette brand as long as I make sure they’re cut down enough with no problem at all. I get through quite a lot as I use my Silhouette Portrait almost daily, and these last twice as long so I definitely recommend them! They are very sticky when new, so I simply use a clean towel to destick them a little, which I was doing with the Silhouette mats anyway. At a better price, and lasting twice as long they’re a no brainer for me! I’ve purchased them a couple of times now due to heavy use, and will continue to do so.

This is my 2nd set of Cricut mats and I have to say I’m happy with them (I bought another name brand prior to getting these, but had to return them because the one mat cracked within a few uses) and although they were cheaper I went back to Cricut because it’s a brand I trust and always get good quality from all their products. I use mine almost daily so can’t really complain about losing the stickiness – but do find they lose their stickiness within a short space of time. I just wish Cricut included a mat cleaner because I would be happy to pay for the real deal cleaner from Cricut instead of always looking for ways to clean them and find they never go back to their original stickiness.

Great

If you have a Cricut machine please don’t waste your money on non Cricut mats as it really isn’t worth it. Yes Cricut are more expensive but if you look after them they will do the job so much better. Most people who complain about the cost probably don’t look after them well enough, use the correct tools and I promise it will be worth it. The thickness is just write and holds its stickiness well, again you need to use the right tools to remove any leftover bits Overall great price and great service

i read most of the reviews before buying the Cricut 12 x 12 cutting mat for my Silhouette Cameo, i thought it wouldn't make much difference;but at lest i will get 2 for the price of one- but i was wrong. i have been cutting on my machine none stop for 2 weeks and the same mat is still going strong. my original cutting mat would not be any good by now. why is it different to the Cameo one; i don't know, but the tackiness is much better and i am getting less bad cuts from this mat, i think i will be buying the longer one of these next time, as sometimes i like to cut a a3 size card or lots of different paper on one mat or cut a long length piece of fabric, i just love love love this mat

Good mat and much cheaper than cameo plus you get two..that's the plus side..down side is they don't last anywhere near cameo mat..cameo had for 3 months mid usage. .cricut started to lose tac after a couple of weeks..on the surface it sounds like a good deal but they won't last as long ..other than that they are fine for light use..

I've used these matts for years. They occasionally change the stickiness, however they've kept the same for a while now & i've got to say they're great. Used with a spatula you can easily reuse many times & if you need to clean them a baby wipe or a little soap is always handy and they dry right off sticky again. Best to remember to keep putting the plastic sheet on, so it stays clean and sticky. These can last a while if cared for, 2 in the pack.

Cricut mats are so great, really hold the material whilst it is being cut
