FAQs
Do I need anything else to use this stamp?
Yes, you will need an acrylic block to mount the stamp onto. This is not included with the product.
What kind of ink should I use?
The stamp is compatible with all water-based and solvent inks. However, please note that solvent inks may stain the stamp, though this does not affect its performance.
How do I clean the stamp?
After each use, clean the stamp gently with a damp cloth or a dedicated stamp cleaner. For best results, clean it immediately after inking.
How should I store the stamp to maintain its stickiness?
Store the stamp on its original plastic backing sheet or another clean, non-porous surface. The naturally sticky back will adhere to these surfaces, preserving its tackiness.
Can I use this stamp on fabric or other surfaces?
While designed primarily for paper crafts, you can experiment with fabric inks or permanent markers suitable for your chosen surface. Always test on a scrap piece first.
What are the dimensions of the stamp?
The stamp is A6 size, which is approximately 105mm x 148mm (4.1 x 5.8 inches).
Is the stamp safe to use?
Yes, the stamp is acid-free and non-toxic, making it safe for crafters and for use on archival projects.
Troubleshooting
Stamp is not picking up ink well
Ensure the stamp surface is clean and free from dust or debris. Try a different type of ink or re-ink the stamp thoroughly.
Stamped image is blurry or smudged
Ensure the acrylic block is clean and the stamp is firmly attached. Apply even pressure when stamping and avoid rocking the block. Make sure the surface you are stamping on is flat and stable.
Stamp is losing its stickiness
Gently clean the stamp with a damp cloth to remove any residue that might be affecting adhesion. Ensure it is stored on a clean, smooth surface when not in use.
Stamp material appears weak or brittle
Check if the stamp has been stored in direct sunlight. Store away from UV light sources to prevent degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Sweet Dixie LM Zendoodle Llama stamp, you will need an acrylic block (not included). Select an acrylic block that is slightly larger than the stamp design. Peel the stamp from its backing sheet and press it onto the surface of the acrylic block. The naturally sticky back will hold it in place.
Apply your chosen ink to the stamp surface. You can use water-based inks or solvent inks. Once inked, carefully position the stamp onto your desired surface (paper, cardstock, etc.) and press down firmly. Lift the stamp to reveal the impression.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, gently clean the stamp with a damp cloth or a stamp cleaner. For best results, clean immediately after inking.
