FAQs
Do I need special ink for these stamps?
These stamps are versatile and work well with most dye, pigment, and archival inks. Always test on a scrap piece of paper first.
Can I use these for mixed media projects?
Yes, they are suitable for various paper crafting projects, including mixed media, as long as the ink used is appropriate for your chosen surface.
Are the stamps permanently attached to the sheet?
No, they are cling-mount, meaning they are designed to be removed from the backing sheet, used on an acrylic block, and placed back on the sheet for storage.
How do I store them if I don't have a Tim Holtz binder?
The stamps can be stored in any 3-ring binder using the provided punched sheet, or inside a clear plastic sleeve to protect them from dust.
Can children use these stamps?
Because the materials are toxic-free and acid-free, they are safe for use, though adult supervision is recommended when handling ink and stamping equipment.
Troubleshooting
Stamp is not sticking to the acrylic block
Clean both the back of the rubber stamp and the acrylic block with mild soap and water to remove oils and dust; ensure both are completely dry before re-adhering.
Image is not stamping clearly or is patchy
Ensure you are using a cushioned surface or a stamping platform; check that the stamp is fully inked and that you are applying even pressure across the entire block.
Rubber has lost its tackiness
Wipe the back of the rubber lightly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue and let it air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your stamps, peel the rubber stamp from the backing sheet and press it firmly onto an acrylic block. The cling property of the rubber ensures it stays in place during the stamping process. After use, clean the stamps with a gentle, alcohol-free stamp cleaner or mild soap and water, then pat dry before returning them to the storage sheet. Avoid exposing the stamps to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber. For permanent organization, store the 3-hole punched sheet in a standard binder, ensuring the stamps are pressed firmly against the sheet surface so they do not fall out.
