FAQs
What is the primary benefit of cling stamps?
The primary benefit is their ability to cling to acrylic blocks, allowing for precise placement and easy repositioning without the need for sticky foam or adhesives.
Do I need to buy acrylic blocks separately?
Yes, these are cling stamps and require a separate clear acrylic block or a Tim Holtz Grid-Block to be used for stamping.
How many stamps are included in this set?
This set includes six deeply etched red rubber cling mount rubber stamps.
What makes these stamps different from rubber stamps that require mounting foam?
Cling stamps have a static cling cushion backing that adheres directly to acrylic blocks, eliminating the need for separate mounting foam and making them easier to store and reposition.
How should I store my cling stamps?
Store them by pressing them back onto their original plastic sheet or a smooth storage surface, and keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I use these stamps with any type of ink?
Yes, these stamps are compatible with most types of stamping inks, including dye inks, pigment inks, and embossing inks.
Are these stamps made in the USA?
Yes, these stamps are proudly made in the USA.
Troubleshooting
Stamps not adhering well to the acrylic block.
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and free from dust, ink residue, or oils. Wipe both surfaces with a damp cloth or rubbing alcohol and allow them to dry completely.
Faint or unclear stamped impressions.
Check that the stamp is properly inked by dabbing it evenly with ink. Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure when stamping onto your project. Clean the stamp if there is any residue blocking the etched details.
Difficulty removing stamp from the acrylic block.
Gently lift an edge of the stamp with a fingernail or a craft tool. If resistance is met, try peeling slowly at a low angle. Static cling may be stronger on initial uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Tim Holtz Cling Stamps, peel the protective backing from the stamp and press it firmly onto a clean clear acrylic block or a Tim Holtz Grid-Block. Ensure the surface of the block is free from dust and debris for optimal adhesion. Apply your chosen ink to the rubber stamp surface. Position the block over your project and press down firmly to transfer the ink.
Compatibility: These stamps are designed to adhere to any clear acrylic block. For enhanced precision, they are highly recommended for use with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks. They are compatible with most standard stamping inks, including dye inks, pigment inks, and embossing inks.
Care: To clean the stamps after use, gently wipe them with a damp cloth or a stamp cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the rubber. After cleaning, allow the stamps to air dry completely before adhering them back to their original backing sheet or storage surface. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the static cling properties.
