Mounting Stamps

Like many stampers, my collection consists of both mounted and unmounted stamps. An increasing number of people are turning to unmounted stamps. There are a number of great features about these stamps:

• More economical to buy
• Cheaper delivery costs
• Easier to store

The new generation clear 'cling' stamps are easy to use and are simply attached to an acrylic block prior to use. Unmounted rubber stamps, however, take a little more preparation. Using cling mounting foam makes mounting unmounted rubber stamps simple and is a handy way for both beginners and more experienced users to quickly start using their unmounted stamps as this 'how to use mounting foam' article explains.

Many stampers have their own favored way of mounting unmounted stamps. If you have any hints and tips about mounting stamps why not pop into the forum and let us know!
