Game-Changing Craft Tools | Sizzix Circular Pads & Scrapbook.com GripMate

If you love making tags, cards, or any kind of papercrafting—I’ve got two new tools to share that just made my crafting life so much easier. And to show them in action, I created a trio of sweet baby-themed tags using some of the new baby products from Scrapbook.com.

These tags are perfect for baby shower favors or gift toppers, and they came together beautifully thanks to a few clever tools and the adorable baby themed stamps and dies from Scrapbook.com.

New Tool #1: Sizzix Circular Cutting Pads

These new cutting pads are designed specifically for small and medium-sized dies, and I love how compact and easy they are to use. The circular shape helps reduce warping over time—a common issue with traditional rectangular pads—and they glide smoothly through your die-cutting machine. I used both the 3.5" and 5" sizes in today’s project, and they worked perfectly alongside my Scrapbook.com Magic Mat and the Sizzix Chrome Precision Plate.

New Tool #2: Scrapbook.com GripMate

This little sticky mat is a total game changer for stamping, stenciling, and ink blending. It holds your paper firmly in place—no shifting, no slipping—so you can focus on creating, not constantly repositioning your cardstock. It’s sized to fit perfectly in a MISTI or other standard stamping platform, and it’s super easy to clean with just a damp cloth or baby wipe.

The Project: Baby-Themed Gift Tags


To highlight these tools, I made three baby-themed tags using new dies and stamps from Scrapbook.com. The designs are simple, but the dimension and clean finish make them stand out. I finished each tag with a stamped sentiment and a touch of ribbon—ready to go on a gift or favor bag.
