Cleaning Cricut Cutting Matts

Here is a tip I found on the Cricut message board. I have tried this and found it works great.

Items Needed

Old Rag
91% Alcohol
ZIG 2 Way Glue - Jumbo Tip

Using an old rag and alcohol, rub mat until all sticky is removed. Very easy process! Rinse with warm water - let dry completely. Finish by applying ZIG 2 Way Glue to entire mat. Whip away any glue on the green outside edge. When glue turns white (clear) replace protective sheet. The mat is now sticky and ready to use.

Gift Card Holders

Gift cards, everyone love getting them! Here is a way to make them more personal and they can be used over and over again.

Chip board sheets
Scraps of paper
Ink
Embelshments
Adhesive
Glue Dots

Ink the edge of the chip board. This will give a pretty edge. (in photo 4 x 6 1/2 chip board sheets that were trimmed in gold)

Cut paper to the size of your chip board. Use adhesive to attache paper to chip board. Cut another piece of paper 1/2" larger then your Gift Card and place on chip board sheet.

Embellish according to your event/theme

Use the Glue Dots to adhere the Gift Card to the holder. Using the Glue Dots will allow the Gift Card to be removed without damaging the holder. This also allows for the holder to be used again.
