Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is blurry or smudged
You are likely using too much ink. Tap the ink pad lightly onto the rubber rather than pressing down hard.
Missing sections in the stamped image
Ensure the paper is on a flat surface and that you are applying even pressure across the entire wood block.
Stamp sliding on the paper
Use a foam stamping mat underneath your project to provide a soft 'cushion' that helps the stamp make better contact.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the stamp, ensure your work surface is flat and stable. Lightly tap your ink pad against the rubber surface until it is evenly coated—do not press too hard, as this can cause ink to pool in the negative spaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the rubber surface immediately after use with a stamp cleaner or mild soap and water on a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the stamp in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber to dry out or crack over time.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most standard dye and pigment ink pads. For best results, use on smooth or lightly textured cardstock.
