FAQs
What is included in this stamp set?
The set includes one A6-sized sheet of clear photopolymer stamps featuring a main dream catcher design and three coordinating dream-themed sentiments.
Do I need anything else to use these stamps?
Yes, you will need an acrylic block to mount the stamps onto and an ink pad to apply ink to the stamps.
How do I clean the stamps?
Gently wipe the stamps with a damp cloth or a specific stamp cleaner after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
How long will the stamps last?
These stamps are designed for repeated use and storage without yellowing, meaning they can last for a very long time if properly cared for.
Can I use these stamps with any type of ink?
The stamps are compatible with most standard crafting inks, including dye-based and pigment-based inks.
What is the benefit of using photopolymer stamps?
Photopolymer stamps are clear, allowing for precise image placement. They are also flexible, sticky for easy mounting, and durable for repeated use.
What does A6 size mean?
A6 is a standard paper size, approximately 4.1 x 5.8 inches (105 x 148 mm). The stamp sheet itself is this size, containing various stamp elements within it.
Troubleshooting
Stamp not sticking to the acrylic block
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block surface are clean and dry. Gently press the stamp onto the block. If stickiness has diminished over time, try cleaning the stamp with a damp cloth and re-adhering it to the backing sheet to refresh it.
Faint or incomplete stamped image
Check that the stamp is evenly inked. Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure when stamping. The surface you are stamping on should be flat and firm. Try a different ink pad or re-ink the stamp.
Stamp ink smudging
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped area. If using fast-drying inks, ensure even application. Some inks may require a sealant or a longer drying time depending on the paper type.
Stamp appears yellowed
While designed to resist yellowing, prolonged exposure to strong light can affect photopolymer. Store stamps in their original packaging or a dark, dry place when not in use.
