    Stamping with non-sticky stamps?! Tips please

    mornin'

    I just bought some beautiful stamps; they are like the rubber stamps from wood mounted ones, just without the wood IYKWIM?

    My question is how do you use them? They're not self-adhesive like a lot are, but I hadn't realised!

    Do you stick them with water soluble glue or is there a better way? I know how inventive you guys are, so I was hoping someone would be able to give me some ideas of how to use them effectively? I didn't want them to fall off and ruin whatever i'm working with if I only stick them temporarily I was tempted to just try mount them myself, but wasn't sure what glue I could use? Hmmmm...what do you think? All suggestions gratefully received!

    I've used Kling-On (it's a sticky foam product) with mine - it sticks to the back of the stamp and then you can use them on an acrylic block.

    Or you can just use Pritt Stick to stick them to an acrylic block and wash afterwards.

    I use EZ-Mount - which is much the same as Kling On (but a different name/make?)

    I use a standard glue stick with an acrylic block and then a wet wipe to clean and have never had a problem.
    Lost since 2011 and returning in a confused state.

    Glue stick here and wash after....works fine....or repo herma works too (but a bit more £ than GS)

    Thanks guys! That's brill - I'm having a scrapping day tomorrow and am dying to try them all out, so think I'll try the glue type approach first and just see how it goes!

    Thanks so much for all your help

    mounting them on EZ mount or klingon type foam means they will be *sticky* forever, and glue sticking them means you have to clean the block {before you try to stick a clear acrylic one to it}

    both work,
    but one option works for good, and one works for now ikywim

    hope that helps and have a fun day!

    It's well worth investing in some Kingon or EZ mount it makes the stamps stamp a million times better because it gives them a 'cushioning' too and one sheet goes a long way. Only tip would be to keep some scissors just for cutting the backing out because they get super sticky.

    Hey!

    I had a fab day; made loads of cards to try them out - the stamps are gorgeous!! Especially when embossed.

    I used Pritt Stick today which worked fine... except that I had to keep washing them off and drying them so I could use the other stamps, which was a pain!

    Think I'll look out for some of the sticky stuff - and a spare pair of scissor! Good tip, Leo!

    Thanks for all your help guys; much appreciated advice

    I use EZ mount, I have found it much better than Kling on, in fact the stamps I had on kling on I took them all apart and replaced with EZmount.

    I get mine from 3djean, one of the sponsors.

    If you use the ez mount sprinkle talc over the stamp and exposed sticky bits before you cut it. Saves on the sticky scissors.

    I love the spray glue and rockerblocks by Crafter's companion A trip down memory lane stocks them I think.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    Ooh, that's a good tip too!
    Sounds daft, but do you wash the talc of then after or what?
    Will def check out the rocky thing and spray, thanks!
