hi and welcome to Hedgehog Hollow today I have a two-minute tip for you and it's
all about the sticky sheets now Greg's already rolling his eyes at me firstly
because my two-minute tips do tend to overrun their two-minute time there but
also and lots of you have heard about my sticky sheet tip and but I've had lots
of questions in the comments on videos and when Hannah went to link up the
videos the other day she's had you we've never actually done a video showing
people how to put the sticky sheet in and some of the things I've refined
along the way so I thought I would do a quick tip and now that sticky sheets are
coming back into stock because they were sold out for the last month or so I
thought it'd be a good time to do a two-minute tip so let's start that
two-minute timer I'll try to keep within my two minutes grace laughing at me
already but we're gonna have it go so these are this Dicky grid sheets from
civics they come in a variety of sizes I like this one in particular but there
are smaller ones you don't necessarily have to have the big ones if you have a
smaller Misti you can get the smaller sizes but you can also cut these down so
if you prefer a smaller size you can do that too
or if you can only get the smaller ones you could tile to a side-by-side so I'm
gonna open these up of course we do put links to everything in the description
below for you as well so if you're looking for specific ones you can check
those links out this is how they come you'll see that they have you can see
that grid a little bit through they have release sheets on either side the other
thing I recommend getting is the my sweet petunia mouse pad for your Misti
now here I have the original size Misti and getting that mousepad it's gonna
make your life a lot easier you can put these on the phone or you can laminate a
sheet of the paper that you put inside of your Misti and put this on top but
this is a rather inexpensive purchase and I think overall it saves you a lot
of time and hassle so this is a top tip for you so what we're gonna do is we're
gonna grab our sticky sheet and we're gonna peel off one of those release
pieces just like this it's a little bit harder to peel off well we're then gonna
do is I never line it up along at this edge and it happens to fit almost
perfectly corner to corner so I kind of line my fingers
with one of these corners and edges and then lay it down and then I do the same
at this other end and it does stick over just a little bit but we'll work that
out in a second and then I'm going to press it down now you'll notice on this
side I do have a little bit that overlaps don't worry we're gonna cover
that over in a second so you're not going to have to worry about that
it also has just a tiny tiny bit along this edge that overlaps again I don't
worry about that because we're gonna cover that up I'm gonna give it a nice
press down and then I'm gonna grab a craft pick now because I have my nails
done I find it a little bit harder to pick off that second release sheet so a
craft pick just makes my life a little bit easier and so I can pick off that
top release sheet she says now this is also great because you can reuse these
sticky sheets so I pop them down on my glass mat when I'm stenciling I pop them
down all over the place for various things and so all of this grid area is
sticky so this little bit that says Sizzix at the bottom here that is not
sticky so it's the perfect place to hold on to now when I first started using my
sticky sheets I didn't do anything more than this and it lasted me quite wild
last you probably 2 to 3 months first of all so they will last you a long time
they're also reusable so I could peel this off put it to the side and I could
use my mouse mat just as it is but I ended up using it all the time and I
wanted it to last even longer and these will last you a really long time it's
tacky like a post-it note so you can just put your cardstock on and off
really easily so what I ended up doing was putting some tape on now you can
either use something like duct tape masking tape whatever you prefer and
what I ended up doing was just taping down on the sides so I'm going to line
up my tape and I started by taping on this first edge and I also taped all the
way underneath so I taped around like this and then I'm gonna just again love
my craft pic because if you have thicker nails if you have the acrylic on like
just grab my end of my sheet and again I'm going to line it up on the edge here
press it down tuck it under and this just meant my sticky she stayed on my
mat longer because the only issue I had was it wanted to peel off on some of
those corners now I'm a hot piece all I did was take really that kind of quarter
just that first cube at the top and on this one I trimmed right up to the edge
of that mouse mat I'll turn it over so you can see me so I'm trimming right up
to the edge and then I'm sticking to it this is you can see how sticky but it
doesn't harm your cardstock I have not had one tear on my cardstock at all from
sticky breads and then you just turn that over and this one of course is
super sticky because it's brand-new and I am ready to go so what I do when I
want to stamp in my Misti I no longer use magnets which I love because if you
saw Greg and I crafting together the other night he broke my magnets well I
don't have that issue anymore he's rolling his eyes at me now again all I
do is I stick my cardstock in here if I have a brand new photopolymer my
cardstock never moves anymore so I do this i stamp off I go and then when I'm
ready I just kind of bend my mouse mat peel my cardstock off and then you can
see how much I struggled now for the minute my nails need redoing
they're too long but then I'm ready to go again so I love this tip you could
also take a piece of sticky sheet if you're using rubber stamp sticky and the
bottom here stamp on it off you go and just peel it back off the end of the say
it's completely reusable stick it onto your glass mat stick your stencil down
sticky sheets are amazing I use them all the time Greg loves them too when he was
at his classes in creative ation he taught people all about the sticky sheet
because he had one in his myths tea as well so
I think they're fat hopefully we haven't gone too far over our time limit today
either Greg shaking his head so I probably
haven't done too bad on my time let me them I hope you enjoyed today's tip
