March 16: Women’s History Month Art Project (Premium Class)
March is Women’s History Month, and we’re excited to celebrate the women who make us who we are with this art project by Carina Gardner. In this class, Carina will teach you how to make this beautiful art piece unique by using paint to add detail. Make one for yourself, or make it for a woman in your life who inspires you! Mix paper and gouache paints to create a three dimensional piece that will remind you of the strength, power, and grace of the women who came before and ones you are nurturing now.

You can use it with vinyl as long as it is smooth and flat to allow the static charge to hold on to it. Rolled vinyl that wants to go back to its rolled shape will not necessarily work well, and it would need to be trimmed to fit the ES mat cutting area.

Yes, you can use the heat pen while using the ES mat. 🙂

Once you’ve pushed the mat up against the rollers, just press the “Load” arrow button (bottom right on the display). Does a regular sticky mat load into the machine for you?
