Press Stamp to an Acrylic Block

Kate Pullen
Remove the remaining piece of protective paper from the stamp and press it to an acrylic block and the stamp is ready to use!

To clean, wash the stamp in water or use a stamp cleaner. Do not leave the stamp to soak in water. To store the stamps keep them in a clear plastic wallet, or stick to a sheet of plastic. This will help protect the stamp and keep the clingy side clean and clear from dust.

Rubber Stamping Techniques

Here are some more rubber stamping techniques!
  • Decoupage - decoupage is a great way to add dimension to rubber stamping projects.
  • How to Use Flock - flocking adds a soft and velvet texture to rubber stamping projects.
  • Make Great Use of Color - the good use of color can transform a project. Learn how to use color to make designs really pop!
  • How to Stamp on Candles - Adding some rubber stamped decorations to candles can transform a plain candle into something really special. Using this simple technique, candles can be customized to match a room or table decor, personalized for a wedding or birthday, given a festive make-over or simply transformed into your own unique work of art.
  • Heat Embossing as a Resist - The raised, glossy outline of a heat embossed image makes a great resist. When inks or watercolor paints are applied over the top of the embossed image, the shiny surface of the image 'resists' the color. This is a useful technique and can be used in many rubber stamping projects.
