Product Information
Full details
The Sizzix Sticky Grid Sheets are an essential accessory for paper crafters who prioritize precision in their scrapbooking and card making projects. Designed specifically for use with the Sizzix Stencil and Stamp Tool, these sheets securely hold cardstock in place during intricate crafting tasks, effectively eliminating shifting and alignment errors. While they provide an excellent hold, they are intended for temporary use and may require eventual replacement as the adhesive naturally loses its tackiness over time with repeated use.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sheets reusable?
Yes, they are designed for multiple uses, though the adhesive will eventually lose its tackiness depending on how much paper fiber and dust it collects.
Can I use these without the Sizzix Stencil and Stamp Tool?
While intended for that tool, they can be used on any flat surface where you need to hold paper down securely during crafts.
How do I store the sheets?
Always store them flat and with the protective backing film reapplied to keep the surface free of lint.
Will the adhesive leave a residue on my cardstock?
No, the adhesive is formulated specifically for paper crafts and should not leave a sticky residue if used correctly.
Does this work with thicker cardstock?
Yes, it works well with various weights of cardstock, provided the paper surface is relatively smooth.
Troubleshooting
The cardstock does not stick to the sheet
Ensure the back of the cardstock is clean and free of debris. If the sheet is covered in paper fibers, gently wipe with a damp cloth.
Paper tears upon removal
You may be using a cardstock that is too delicate for the adhesive. Try 'priming' the sheet by pressing it against your clothing or a clean fabric surface once before placing your cardstock on it to reduce the tackiness.
Grid lines are hard to see
Ensure you are working in a well-lit area and that the protective film has been fully removed from the sheet.

Care Instructions:
To extend the life of your sheets, always replace the protective clear film when you are finished crafting for the day. This prevents dust, paper fibers, and lint from adhering to the grid surface. If the sheet loses tackiness due to dust buildup, you can gently wipe it with a damp, lint-free cloth, but avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing tools that could damage the adhesive layer or the printed grid.
