How do I use these stamps?

[Cyndie]

I am not an avid stamper at all but these just called my name at Target today. They are made of clear rubbery stuff and it says on the package "so easy to use and so easy to keep ... goes right back into the clamshell package for safe storage!" Do I need some sort of block or something (stamp idiot here!)? I saw a clear block for sale by the same maker. Most stamps are on some sort of block, be it wood or clear, aren't they? Clueless here!

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

yes they go on the clear blocks. They kind of cling to them. The advantage is they are easy to store and you can see where you are stamping.

And those are cool stamps

those sames are called acyrlic stamps and are highly addictive!!!!! i have a similar set and i love them! you need a clear block. you take the stamp out of the package and it "clings" to the block. then you apply ink and stamp away. you can either wash the stamp with a baby wipe, water or a stamp cleaner.

for storage - many different ways. i store mine in blank CD holders.

[Jess]

dude, we posted at the same time! lmao

[mlr42002]

great minds think alike

I love using the clear stamps. Yes, you need to buy a clear block and then the stamps will stick on to the block automatically. when you are finished stamping, remove stamp from block, rinse off and put away.

they make storage sooooo easy too and because the blocks are clear yoou can see where you are stamping.

You are gonna love them. OK clear enough???

[Jess]

now you know you must post a layout using these, right?? :) we want to make sure you understand the directions we gave you. hehe :)

[Amy]

um, you need an acrylic block and *I* need those stamps. :D

oh - and I post stamping challenges sometimes for FreakyFriday - so be sure to check those out!

[Cyndie]

I feel like a dufus but hey, I needed to be clear on these! I understand that I should have bought the block as well. I just wasn't understanding that I could use the same block for each of the stamps.

Of course I will post a layout using these as soon as I can!

Thanks freaks!

[Amy]

the stamps cling to the block kind of like window stickies. know what I mean?

so you pick the stamp you want to use - stick it on the block, ink it and stamp it - then it peels off the block and goes back in the box. :)

[Jess]

are you going back to the store tomorrow??? :)

[Amy]

oh...this thread reminds me - I've recently learned that they carry these stamps at WALMART now! Mine was out of a few sets that I actually wanted - but they are like $12 or $9 which is pretty cheap!

[monica]

LOVE those stamps!

Hmmm...I think I ordered some stamps recently for something... :evil:

[scrappinholly]

Love those stamps, I have a couple similar to those :D

You'll be addicted in no time lmao

[Cyndie]

Target has the Autumn leaves sets for as low as $9.99. Yes, I will have to snag a block there asap!

[Jess]

wow, thats cheap!

[Amy]

:cucumber: I'll be stalking my WM (no target) to see if they get more in stock!

[mlr42002]

[Jess]

[Amy]

oh and we have Ben Franklin for craft stuff which actually has a pretty good sb section. everything else good is an hour away.

I saw these at my WM today... and Cyndie, don't feel like a dufus! I did not get them b/c I was afraid I would not know how to use them either! And while we are asking "dumb" questions.. Do you just use regular stamp pads? and can you use paint?

[Marlena]

And I did buy the sparkly silver chipboards.

[Marlena]

Oh, and i also bought the basesball 12x12 photo album for $9.98..:quiet: shh! don't tell dh!

Yep! You can use ink and paint!

[Marlena]

thanks! good to know! Then I will definitely be going back! I have to go get groceries! That is the good thing about get "groceries" at Wal-mart! other things just "happen" to end up in the basket. :)
