FAQs

What size are the stamps?

Each stamp in the Vines & Roses set measures approximately 6 inches by 4 inches.

Do I need a special tool to use these stamps?

You will need a clear acrylic block to use these cling mount stamps. Tim Holtz recommends using his Grid-Blocks for precise alignment.

How should I store the stamps?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet for easy storage in a binder or storage system. Reapply them to the backing sheet after cleaning to maintain their cling.

What surfaces can I stamp on?

These stamps can be used on various surfaces suitable for ink, such as paper, cardstock, fabric, and more, depending on the ink type used.

Are these stamps suitable for beginners?

Yes, the cling mount design makes them very user-friendly for beginners, though a little practice with inking and pressure helps achieve the best results.

Can I use these stamps with different types of ink?

Yes, they work well with various ink types, including dye inks, pigment inks, chalk inks, and embossing inks.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not adhering to acrylic block

Ensure the acrylic block surface and the back of the stamp are clean and free from dust or oil. Gently rinse the stamp with water and allow it to air dry completely.

Faint or incomplete ink impressions

Check that the stamp is evenly inked by dabbing it onto the ink pad. Ensure consistent pressure is applied when stamping. The ink pad may also need re-inking or replacing.

Ink smudging after stamping

Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped image. If using dye-based inks on non-porous surfaces, consider using pigment inks or an embossing powder for permanence.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the stamps, simply peel the desired stamp from its backing sheet and press it onto a clear acrylic block. Ensure the surface of the block is clean and free of dust for optimal adhesion. You can then ink the stamp using your preferred ink pad.

Compatibility: These stamps are compatible with any standard clear acrylic block. For best results and precise placement, Tim Holtz strongly recommends using them with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks.

Care: After each use, clean the stamp by gently wiping away excess ink with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the rubber. Once clean and dry, reapply the stamp to its original backing sheet or a storage page to preserve its cling quality.
