FAQs
Does this stamp come with an ink pad?
No, the ink pad is not included. You will need to provide your own choice of ink.
Can I use this stamp with watercolor markers?
Yes, provided you use an archival or permanent ink that will not smudge when you add water-based colors over the top.
What is the best way to store this stamp?
Store it on its original backing sheet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the photopolymer from becoming brittle.
Is this stamp suitable for beginners?
Yes, clear stamps are user-friendly for beginners because you can see exactly where you are placing your image before you stamp.
How do I clean the stamp after using permanent ink?
Use a specialized stamp cleaner for permanent inks, or a gentle soap and water solution, wiping carefully to avoid tearing the fine details.
Troubleshooting
The stamped image looks faint or incomplete.
Ensure the stamp is clean and that you are using a flat, hard surface underneath your paper while stamping. Apply even, steady pressure.
The stamp is not adhering to the acrylic block.
Wash the back of the stamp with mild soap and water to remove oils, then let it air dry; this will restore its natural adhesive properties.
Ink beads up on the stamp surface.
New stamps sometimes have a factory residue; gently buff the surface with a soft eraser or wash it with a mild soap to help the ink transfer more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Tiny's Foxglove stamp, you must first remove it from its protective backing and adhere the smooth side to a clean acrylic stamping block. Because the stamp is self-adhering, no adhesive is required.
Compatibility: This stamp is compatible with all standard dye-based, pigment, and archival ink pads. It is best used with flat, smooth paper surfaces to ensure the fine lines transfer fully.
Care Instructions: After use, wipe the stamp clean with a damp, lint-free cloth or a dedicated stamp cleaning spray. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the photopolymer. Store the stamp away from direct sunlight and dust, ideally on its original transparent backing sheet, to maintain its tackiness and prevent the material from yellowing or warping.
