FAQs
What kind of paper is best for stamping?
Smooth paper, such as cardstock, is ideal for achieving the best results. Avoid overly textured or porous papers.
How do I clean the rubber stamps?
Use a damp cloth or a stamp cleaner designed for rubber stamps. Gently wipe the stamp surface after each use.
Can I use different ink colors?
Yes, you can supplement the included ink pads with other colors and types of ink to suit your needs and projects.
How do I store the stamp set?
Store the stamp set in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the ink pads are tightly sealed to prevent them from drying out.
What if my stamp impression is uneven?
Ensure you're applying even pressure across the entire stamp surface. A firm, flat surface is also crucial for consistent results.
Are the stamps suitable for children?
Yes, but adult supervision is recommended, especially with younger children, due to the ink.
What if the ink bleeds through the paper?
Use a less absorbent paper or apply a lighter touch when stamping. Allow the ink to dry completely before handling.
Troubleshooting
Stamp impressions are not clear.
Ensure you are using a firm, flat surface. Apply even pressure when stamping. Clean the stamp surface before each use.
Ink is smudging or bleeding.
Use the correct paper type; avoid overly absorbent papers. Apply ink sparingly to the stamp and allow ink to dry before handling.
Ink pads appear dry.
If the ink pads seem dry, try adding a few drops of water-based ink refill to rejuvenate them. Replace ink pads as needed.
