FAQs

What size are the snowflakes?

Each snowflake measures approximately 2 5/8 inches by 2 5/8 inches.

Do I need to buy acrylic blocks separately?

Yes, these are cling mount stamps and require clear acrylic blocks for use, which are sold separately.

Can I use these stamps with any ink?

Yes, these stamps are compatible with most types of ink pads, including pigment inks, dye inks, and embossing powders.

How should I store these stamps?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet for easy storage in a binder. Reapply them to this backing sheet after cleaning and store in a cool, dry place.

Are these stamps suitable for children?

While designed for easy use, adult supervision is recommended for children due to the use of small parts (stamps) and crafting tools like ink pads and acrylic blocks.

Can these stamps be used for home decor projects?

Yes, they are suitable for home interior art works and can be used on various surfaces like canvas, wood, or paper for decorative purposes.

What material are the stamps made from?

The stamps are made from etched red rubber, which provides clear and detailed impressions.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not adhering to acrylic block

Ensure both the stamp's cling backing and the acrylic block are clean and free of dust or oils. Wipe both surfaces gently with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely before attempting to adhere the stamp.

Inconsistent or faint stamped image

Check for even ink coverage on the stamp surface. Ensure you are applying firm, even pressure when stamping. If using a new stamp, sometimes a few 'break-in' impressions can improve clarity. Make sure your ink pad is not dried out.

Ink smudging after stamping

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. Some inks are slower drying than others. Consider using a faster-drying ink or heat setting the ink if your medium allows, especially on non-porous surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: To use the Tim Holtz Cling Stamps - Swirly Snowflakes, simply peel a stamp from its backing sheet and press it firmly onto a clear acrylic block. Ensure the block is clean and free of debris. The static cling backing will hold the stamp in place. Once adhered, ink the stamp using your preferred ink pad or medium.

Compatibility: These stamps are designed to cling to any standard clear acrylic block. They are particularly recommended for use with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks, which offer alignment guides for precise placement. They are also suitable for use with other stamping tools and surfaces like paper, cardstock, fabric, and wood, provided the surface is prepared for stamping.

Care: After each use, clean the stamp thoroughly. Gently wipe away any residual ink or medium with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Avoid using harsh solvents, as they can degrade the rubber over time. Once clean and dry, reapply the stamp to its original backing sheet or a 3-hole punched storage sheet for easy and safe storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
