This guide is for crafters and cardmakers looking to add unique, festive designs to their projects. The Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints Strip Cling Stamps offer deeply etched rubber designs on thick foam for crisp impressions, allowing for versatile stamping on various surfaces when used with clear acrylic blocks. A potential caveat is that separate acrylic blocks are required for use.

The size of the acrylic block depends on the specific stamp you are using. It's best to have a few different sizes on hand to accommodate various stamp designs, but a 2"x3" or 3"x4" block is often suitable for this set.
While these stamps are designed for ink pads, you can color directly onto the rubber with permanent markers if you wish, though using ink pads provides a more traditional stamping result.
These stamps are generally suitable for crafters of all ages, but adult supervision is recommended for younger children, especially when handling acrylic blocks and ink pads.
Store the stamps on their original backing sheet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the cling adhesive.
The stamps are made from deeply etched rubber mounted on thick foam.
Yes, they work very well with embossing inks and powders for creating raised, textured designs.
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free from dust or debris. If the cling backing seems to have lost its stickiness, try cleaning it gently with a baby wipe, then let it air dry.
Check that the stamp is firmly adhered to the acrylic block. Ensure the ink pad is adequately inked; re-ink or replace if necessary. Apply even pressure when stamping.
Use a dedicated stamp cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn ink, a soft-bristled brush can help dislodge residue. Always rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Setup: To use the Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints Strip Cling Stamps, you will need a clear acrylic block (sold separately). Simply peel the stamp from its backing sheet and adhere it to the acrylic block. Ink the stamp using your preferred ink pad, and press firmly onto your desired surface.
Compatibility: These stamps are compatible with all standard clear acrylic blocks. They work with a wide range of inks, including pigment, dye, and hybrid inks, as well as embossing powders and various mediums.
Care: After each use, clean the stamps to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Gently remove ink residue with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Allow the stamps to air dry completely before returning them to their backing sheet or storage. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
