Product Information

Full details

This guide is for crafters and mixed-media artists looking to add vintage-inspired designs to their projects. The key benefit is the high-quality, deeply etched rubber that provides crisp impressions, perfect for Tim Holtz's signature distressing techniques. A minor caveat is that acrylic blocks are sold separately. These cling stamps feature meticulously trimmed, deeply etched red rubber mounted on cling foam for easy use with acrylic blocks, offering a variety of 'Faded Type' designs for versatile creative applications.

FAQs

What is the overall size of the stamp set backing sheet?

The full set measures approximately 7 x 8.5 inches.

Do I need a special type of ink to use these stamps?

No, these stamps work with most standard ink types, including dye inks, pigment inks, chalk inks, and embossing powders.

Are the acrylic blocks included with the stamps?

No, acrylic blocks are sold separately and are required for use with these cling stamps.

How do I store these stamps to keep them in good condition?

Store them on their original 3-hole punched backing sheet in a stamp storage binder, or place the clear protective sheet back onto the cling foam and store them flat in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

What does 'deeply etched' mean for a stamp?

Deeply etched means the rubber has been engraved with fine detail, which allows the stamp to pick up and transfer ink more thoroughly and clearly, resulting in sharper impressions.

Can I use these stamps for stamping on fabric?

While primarily designed for paper and mixed media, success on fabric depends heavily on the type of ink used (fabric inks are recommended) and the fabric's texture. Test on a scrap piece first.

Where are these stamps manufactured?

These stamps are made in the USA.

Troubleshooting

Stamp does not cling to the acrylic block.

Ensure the cling foam side is clean and free of debris. Reapply the protective sheet and then remove it again to refresh the cling. Ensure the acrylic block surface is also clean.

Faint or uneven ink impressions.

Check if the stamp is properly inked. Ensure even pressure is applied to the acrylic block when stamping. The surface you are stamping on may also be uneven.

Ink smudging after stamping.

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. If using fast-drying inks, ensure even pressure and lift the stamp straight up. Consider using a faster-drying ink or a different stamping surface.

Stamp is difficult to clean.

Use a gentle stamp cleaner specifically designed for rubber stamps or a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or strong chemicals. Rinse with water if necessary and dry thoroughly before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Peel the clear protective sheet from the cling foam side of the stamp.
  2. Carefully remove the desired stamp from the backing sheet.
  3. Press the cling foam side of the stamp onto a clean acrylic block of an appropriate size. Ensure the block is larger than the stamp for easy handling.

Care:

  • After each use, clean the stamp by gently wiping off excess ink with a damp cloth or baby wipe. Avoid harsh solvents that can damage the rubber or foam.
  • Reapply the clear protective sheet to the cling foam side of the stamp to protect it and prevent dust accumulation.
  • Store stamps in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their cling properties.
