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 😍
