Tips for Using Clear Stamps

Clear stamps

 

You will need a clear acrylic block to mount your clear stamps onto.

 

1. Peel, or gently roll your stamp off of the protective plastic it is on

 

2. Place the smooth side of the stamp onto the block; you should have the rough image side facing up.

 

**If it doesn’t seem sticky, just clean it with plain soap and water or stamp cleaner. Make sure you dry with a lint free towel. It is like a vinyl cling on the back side, so if it gets dirty, or has lint on it …it might not cling to your block****

 

3. Some clear stamps require you to season them. You will know if they need seasoning if your ink beads up like water drops on your stamp.
