Helpful Hints

  • Always stamp evenly (do not rock your stamp). Rocking will create shadows around the stamped image.

 

  • Clean your stamps with stamp cleaner after each use.

 

  • Always try to stamp on a flat smooth surface, such as a kitchen table or desk.

 

  • Stamp on a scrap piece of paper before you stamp onto your finished piece.

 

  • When using several different markers, always start with the lightest color and finish with the darkest.

Product Basics

  • Wood Mounted Stamps - stamp images mounted on a hardwood block.
  • Foam Stamps - usually sets. This stamp is simply mounted on a 3/8" thick piece of dense foam
  • Solid Stamp pads - non toxic one-color pad with a felt top. Great for kids also.
  • Pad Magic pads - raised dye-based ink pads that can be used with any size stamp.
  • Color Magic pads - slow drying pigment ink. Rich in color and great for combining with embossing powders.
  • Embossing Powder - ultra fine powder that gives a shiny raised effect when sprinkled over a wet stamped out image and then heated.
  • Brush Markers - great for creating bright vibrant multi-colored images. Can be used directly on stamp or color in already stamped out images.
