Cheers,can get three for the price of two cameo mats on amazon x
Remember to measure against the original Silhouette mat. I cut about 5mm from top and bottom and use the edge of the white rollers to line up when loading my Cricut mats. Also the Silhouette mat it not the same top and bottom from the edge of the mat to the cutting area.

Hi Elvie,
Just looked and today it's £36.95,it was £24+ when I originally posted x
Hobbycraft have the three pack for £24.99, one each of light, medium and strong adhesive. The strong is only £12.99 for a pack of two but unfortunately they don't seem to have the medium in a pack of two which was £12.99. The light is £7.99 for one. To me if you can find the medium pack of two better value as it's the price of one Silhouette mat.

I've never cut my Cricut mat - just used it as it is. (as I also use the mats on my Cricut I don't want to alter them!). This blog has some detail about where to position the paper on a Cricut mat when using it on a Cameo. Although to be honest I dont generally worry about it much as I don't place cuts close to the edges.
