I prefer the quality of the Cricut mat to others you can find elsewhere. Always reliable and easy to use. The light grip mat is all I use for paper crafting
This is the only mat I use! It's strong enough for heavy cardstock and I think it's much easier to remove any cardstock off the mat. The cuts are always clean and I stock up when they are on sale!
I have found such amazing value in these. I am a paper crafter so having easier mats for cardstock and other thinner papers. I also use iron on a lot. I can use my green ones for thicker materials or vinyls/iron on rolls.
