Hey friends! Thanks for watching... Be sure to leave a comment letting me know what you think and if you are purchasing the new Travel Media Mat. :) Shop the new Travel Media Mats here: ldli.co/e/yk65nq
I appreciate that you've taken the time to demo the travel glass mat as there's not a lot of tutorials about it like there are about the original size. I'm fortunate to have both sizes. I didn't want to take the larger glass mat to crops and the travel size will store easily in my rolling tote for that purpose. You can do almost everything on the travel mat as you can on the original except work on cardstock larger than 8" x 8" (if you want to utilize the markings that is). I think Tonic/Tim Holtz deserve kudos for not only creating 2 sizes for the glass mat, but also a set for lefties! Thanks for the nice demo, Simon!!
Hi Simon! I got this mat at a garage sale and didn't even know what it was at the time. After watching your video, I now know what it for. I'm not artistic so I'll probably be passing it along to someone who will appreciate it. But, I just wanted to tell you what a pleasure you are to listen to. You speak clearly, you explain things very simply, and your smile is genuine. Thanks for the explanation and keep doing what you're doing because you certainly have a gift!. Take care!
My mat just came in the male. Now I can use the mat even when crafting in my wheelchair or a small space. I have the regular TH glass mat and use it regularly, but I can now work on my lap or in small spaces. Great idea.
Thanks for this Simon! I watched Tim introduce it on an FB Live and was intrigued. I have two of the big ones on my work table flipped for my left-handedness. HA! Super cool to see Tim come out with the lefty version now. I just ordered the small lefty through your Simon link. Simon for Simon. Tee hee! Thanks so much!
Simon, this should have an enabler alert lol! I totally thought, no I don’t need the travel size, I have the full…now I have watched your video I totally agree, a great size for card makers! Now where is my credit card!
I LOVE that they came out with a left-handed version! I currently have the right handed version and I have to cross my arms to pick up the paint from the white grid. Haha! I get in my own way 🤦🏻♀️
I am SO over the top excited!!! I did not purchase the original glass mat because my space just didn't allow for it. I have a feeling Tim heard this from lots of us!! I ordered it on Amazon and it will be shipping (free) soon! YAY!!! #thankyouTimHoltz
I have a tiny space to work in so this is definitely something that's going on my wishlist! The original, for me, would be amazing for scrapbooking and art journaling and mixed media making (I use a lot of canvases). Great review, tfs :)
That’s great to have a mini version.., I don’t know if I would be comfortable traveling with it anyway, being afraid I would break it.. but I love your idea about having a smaller one in your craft room... not sure I would want to invest in another one... 🧐 thank you for the great review.. 😊
Hoping to pick up a left handed one. The one on my desk(regular size) is for right handed. Would like to try a lefty. Love that it comes with cover. I use the regular size all the time at home. Works great!
Thank you very much. I just ordered one and can't wait to get it. I really like this size. I had been thinking about the larger one but my work space is limited and this one will fit right in.
I will definitely be getting the travel size mat. Even though I rarely take my supplies on the road, I think the smaller size will be far more convenient since it takes up less desk space than the full sized mat (which I use often). In fact, I think it was failure to move the glass mat off my desk while using my Big Shot that resulted in several scratches in the glass surface. 😭 It was nice to see the two mats together for comparison! Yes, I know how a ruler works but the visual was helpful. 😉
I love my large mat. I probably won't get the smaller one because I don't think I will need it as well. But it's great that they are offering both now - although not sure if it's available in the UK yet.
Doubt you’ll see this but wanted you to know this is the first of your videos I saw. As a crafter trying to size up someone claiming to be a crafter my first question would be “show me your cuticles”. You have lovely nails (I’m a biter) but the stained cuticles I’m looking for. Take away: this guy knows his s@?#. I just subscribed and can’t wait to check out more of your work.
Awesome review Simon boyo - you aced it! I love this TRAVEL media mat which is the PERFECT size! Size DOES matter as there is such a thing as TOO big! Now I know why I didn't buy the BIG media mat! Heck - I haven't got round to buying a stampin' platform yet - because I can't decide whose to get! I'll watch your review of all your favourite work surfaces and then decide whether I want the BIG brother to the TRAVEL mat! I'm guessing that I'd like the TRAVEL mat for my watercolouring and other cleanish painting projects - but then get something bigger/chunkier for my mixed media projects. I'm also waiting for CHSI Stitches show early 2020! I would LOVE to go to CREATIVATION - one year - it would be a dream American vacation (even a working holiday - hint hint - anyone!! ?) to take that in too!! TFS buddy! xx ~ C ~ uk
Hi Simon, I love how you explain things. I ordered some of your inks from joggles.com, haven't used them yet but i will. I love the colors. Thank you for all you do. Just got to get in there and get it done.
I’m a lefty so this is pretty fantastic. Not many people show us the love 😟 - I’m all over this even though I already have the original. Just a thought - how about just turning it upside down??
This is one of the first video I've seen of yours. Will probably be my last, only because I am very hard of hearing, even with hearing aids in. I rely heavily on the closed captioning to aid my watching videos. That option was NOT available here? Could you PLEASE add closed caption to this and all future videos? TFS
This item seem interested but you talked a lot that I have no idea what you said. So disappointed this video is not included closed caption. 😔 Would like to know what you said.

I love that they have left handed ones. My daughter is left handed.
Oooooo now which one to get....... decisions, decisions, decisions!!

Both craft mats look so awesome. I would purchase either one of them. Love, love, love!
I LOVE that they came out with a left-handed version! I currently have the right handed version and I have to cross my arms to pick up the paint from the white grid. Haha! I get in my own way 🤦🏻♀️
I guess leftys could always turn the mat upside-down to keep from having to cross over.
Totally you could... but having the numbers and logo upside makes my head hurt. Lol.
Yes Simon I have to have this. I wanted the large one now I am glad I waited. I prefer the smaller one.
Thank you for a great video!
Loved the smaller version. I don’t have much of a workspace so this is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I need one.
I am SO over the top excited!!! I did not purchase the original glass mat because my space just didn't allow for it. I have a feeling Tim heard this from lots of us!! I ordered it on Amazon and it will be shipping (free) soon! YAY!!! #thankyouTimHoltz

Love the idea of the travel size mat - I love my original size one. Thanks for the great review Simon!
Well done video. Great point about the glass mat not having the drag when using blending tools. Keep up the good work!
I’m excited about this size!! I have the larger one but I find it too big and really don’t like doing videos with it on my desktop.
Hoping to pick up a left handed one. The one on my desk(regular size) is for right handed. Would like to try a lefty. Love that it comes with cover. I use the regular size all the time at home. Works great!
Very nice job on your review Simon. Very thorough and I truly appreciate your opinion on this travel mat.❤️🌹
Thank you Simon for your review, and you are so happy with this small matter yes I need one
Just purchased this...by accident . I meant to get the larger one but I think this one will work better for me.
I don't have the Glass Mat, I didn't really have a lot of space for it, but this one I might have to get. Thank you Simon
This is AWESOME! I love the size too! Yes I plan on getting one of these. I might need to wait a while.
Finally placing my order today! Woohoo!
I already got mine. Haven’t had a chance to open the box yet but can’t wait!
Thank you very much. I just ordered one and can't wait to get it. I really like this size. I had been thinking about the larger one but my work space is limited and this one will fit right in.
Awesome review and I am excited to get one!! Suggested the left handed one to my mom as a Christmas gift for me😉😉
I just purchased the full size mat! Can’t wait to get it
Love the travel size. Great demo Simon 🙂

Oh my goodness I need one of these! Thank you
Right!? Such and awesome surface! :)
Thx Simon. I have the larger version and love it but I don’t take it when traveling so the smaller one will be awesome. Appreciate your review😊
Thanks for the demo.
Doubt you’ll see this but wanted you to know this is the first of your videos I saw. As a crafter trying to size up someone claiming to be a crafter my first question would be “show me your cuticles”. You have lovely nails (I’m a biter) but the stained cuticles I’m looking for.

Great product review!
Simon, When do you use the piece of plain white mat that you peeled off of the white palette? Does it stick to the palette ? Thank you.
Sounds like a cool tool. May have to ask Santa for one.
AWESOME!
Think I’ll get this rather than the bigger version Please explain the uses of the white area-I’m just not getting it -has it two different uses?
OH SANTA WILL NE ED TO CHOOSE WHICH ONE I GET. CAN NOT WAIT. HUM, MY BIRTHDAY IS IN DECEMBER TOO. DO I NEED/WANT BOTH
Hi, do you have a link for the ruler etc for the travel size mat, or do you just use the one ruler for both sizes?
Great speaking!
What is the non stick mat part for?
What's the rush?...😉
Odd that the full size and travel size are the same price. There is a good difference in size. Do like the smaller footprint.
This is one of the first video I've seen of yours. Will probably be my last, only because I am very hard of hearing, even with hearing aids in. I rely heavily on the closed captioning to aid my watching videos. That option was NOT available here? Could you PLEASE add closed caption to this and all future videos? TFS
