Today I did something I’ve never done before on camera—I unboxed a Glassboard Studio Magnetic Glass Craft Mat right along with my viewers. Glassboard Studio contacted me and invited me to collaborate as an affiliate, and they sent the products you’ll see below. I’ve resisted glass mats for years, but this one caught my attention because it’s magnetic, heat-resistant, and designed specifically for crafters. Seeing the boxes arrive on my porch felt like Christmas in November!

In the video below, you’ll watch me open everything for the very first time—no prep work, no staging, just honest first impressions from a cardmaker who’s always looking for tools that genuinely make our creative time easier.

Why I Hadn’t Tried a Glass Mat Until Now

I had seen glass mats before, but I never understood the appeal—until Glassboard Studio invited me to collaborate. That’s when I discovered the real difference a magnetic, non-porous, heat-resistant workspace makes. The magnetic surface alone is a complete game-changer for holding cardstock, layouts, and stencils exactly where you want them.

What Came in the Box

This is where the fun truly begins! In the unboxing video, you’ll see:

The Glassboard Studio magnetic glass mat I chose
The accessories they included in the collab
The magnet style (they’re stronger than I expected!)
My live reactions as I look everything over for the very first time

You’ll also hear me talk through what I’m most excited to test—ink blending, heat embossing, edge-inking, and seeing if the magnetic hold makes stenciling even easier.
