BACK TO BASICS: SORTING THROUGH THE STAMP SET OPTIONS

 TO CHOOSE OR NOT TO CHOOSE...

Stamping is suppose to be simple......but having to  decide what kind of stamp sets to use and purchase can be daunting.  You hear words like  Wood Mount, Clear Mount and Photopolymer......YIKES, enough to pull out your hair or even worse - pull out your heat gun!!

Well, hopefully this info will help clarify your state of the confusion.

WOOD-MOUNT STAMP SETS

Wood-Mount Stamps (adheres to Wood Blocks included in Stamp Sets)

Our high-quality wood-mount rubber stamps are pre-cut and come with farmed-maple wood blocks. Mount these stamps permanently on the blocks and they’re ready to go when you are. The premium red rubber will last for years and give a crisp, clear stamped impression each time.
- Stamps are permanently mounted on the block, they're are always ready to use
- Each Wood Mount stamp set comes with a set of wooden blocks - one block for each stamp


CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SETS

 

Clear-Mount Stamps (used with  Clear Blocks NOT included in stamp set - sold separately)

Our high-quality clear-mount stamps are made of the same high-quality rubber as our wood-mount stamps, but they’re repositionable. Temporarily mount these precut stamps on clear blocks for stamping, then remove them for space-saving storage. You’ll only need one set of blocks for all your clear-mount stamps (blocks sold separately).
- Need to purchase one set of Clear Blocks works for all your Clear-mount stamps set needs
- Positions stamps on clear blocks when you stamp, then remove from block to use a different stamp
- Clear - Mount stamps set is space saver for storing, since it is as slim as a DVD case
- Several stamps can be placed on a single block for more creative combinations
- Sleek and modern blocks are made from clear acrylic for perfect placement

PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SETS

 

Photopolymer Stamps (used with Clear Blocks NOT included in the stamp set - sold separately)  I call these "Jelly" stamps because they feel and look like clear gelatin.

Our top-quality photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent for perfect image placement, and they adhere well to our clear blocks. They’re flexible and easy to line up, giving you even more creative possibilities with each set. You can mix and match, bend, and layer images easily. You’ll only need one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately).
- Clings to Clear Blocks easily
- Stamps are pliable, so you can bend, curve or shape it as you like
- Several stamps can be placed on a single block
- Able to re-stamp an image due to the transparent trait to re-align your image or sentiment.
