FAQs
What size is the Little Darlings Snowflake Ballet stamp?
The stamp measures approximately 3.75 inches by 3.25 inches.
Do I need to buy something else to use this stamp?
Yes, this is an unmounted stamp. You will need a mounting adhesive like Tack N Peel (sold separately) and an acrylic block or similar surface to use it effectively.
What type of rubber is used for this stamp?
The stamp is made from natural gum rubber with deep etching.
Can I use any type of ink with this stamp?
Yes, this stamp is compatible with most standard stamping inks, including dye, pigment, and embossing inks.
How should I clean the stamp?
Clean the stamp after each use with a stamp cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Gently pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is this stamp suitable for beginners?
While the stamp itself is high-quality, beginners may find it easier to start with a mounted stamp. However, with the addition of Tack N Peel and an acrylic block, it can be used successfully by beginners willing to learn the mounting process.
Troubleshooting
Stamp impression is faint or incomplete.
Ensure the stamp is properly inked. Try applying ink more evenly across the stamp surface. Check that the rubber is clean and free of debris. If using with an acrylic block, ensure firm, even pressure is applied during stamping.
Stamp is difficult to position accurately.
Use a clear acrylic block for precise placement. Ensure the Tack N Peel adhesive is fresh and providing adequate grip for repositioning. Practice stamping on scrap paper first.
Ink is smudging on the paper.
Allow stamped ink to dry completely before further handling. Use a faster-drying ink if smudging is a persistent issue. Ensure you are not pressing too hard or dragging the stamp when lifting it.
