Full details
This Dragonfly Garden Stamp (MPN 4007AA) from Art Stamps is designed for crafters looking to add intricate, nature-inspired details to their projects. Its key benefit is the deeply etched design that ensures a clear, lasting impression on paper or other craft surfaces.

The stamp is reusable, easy to store, and made to last, offering a handmade quality from a Hero Arts original design.

FAQs
What size is the dragonfly image?
The image size is 11mm x 19mm.
Do I need to buy anything else to use this stamp?
Yes, you will need a clear acrylic block and an ink pad, which are sold separately.
How do I clean the stamp?
You can clean the stamp by gently rubbing it with a damp cloth or a dedicated stamp cleaner after each use. Ensure it is dry before storing.
Is this stamp suitable for beginners?
Yes, the stamp is designed for ease of use. Its clear cling backing makes it simple to position on an acrylic block, and the deep etching provides good ink transfer.
What does 'deeply etched' mean for a stamp?
Deeply etched means the design is carved with more depth, which helps it hold and release ink more effectively, resulting in a clearer, more defined impression.
Can this stamp be used with alcohol markers or watercolors?
While the stamp itself is compatible with most inks, the surface you stamp on and the other mediums you use will determine the outcome. It is best suited for traditional ink pads for paper crafts.
Where is this stamp made?
This stamp is handmade in the USA.
Troubleshooting
Stamp not transferring ink clearly
Ensure the stamp is clean and free of old ink residue. Use sufficient ink on the stamp by dabbing it evenly on the ink pad. Apply even pressure when stamping.
Stamp not sticking to the acrylic block
Clean both the stamp and the acrylic block with a damp cloth to remove any dust or oils. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
Ink bleeding or smudging
Use a less porous ink, or try dabbing less ink onto the stamp. Ensure you are using a compatible ink pad and applying even pressure without rocking the stamp.
