FAQs

What is a 'cling mount' stamp?

A cling mount stamp uses a special grippy material on its backing that allows it to adhere to a smooth surface like a clear acrylic block without needing adhesive. This makes them easy to attach, reposition, and remove.

Do I need special ink for these stamps?

No, these stamps are compatible with most standard ink pads, water-based inks, dye inks, pigment inks, and even distress inks or paints.

How do I store these stamps?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet. For best practice, store them in a Tim Holtz Stamp Storage Binder (sold separately) or on a similar index-style storage system to keep them organized and protected.

Can I use these stamps with embossing powder?

Yes, after stamping with an embossing ink, you can apply embossing powder and heat to create raised, textured designs on your projects.

Are these stamps suitable for beginners?

Yes, the cling mount design and clear acrylic block system make them very user-friendly for beginners. The etched rubber ensures good results with practice.

What is the approximate size of each individual stamp?

Each stamp measures approximately 5 1/2 inches by 2 inches.

Are the stamps reusable?

Yes, as long as they are properly cleaned and stored, the cling mount stamps are designed for repeated use.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not adhering to acrylic block

Ensure both the stamp's rubber surface and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Any dust or residue can prevent proper adhesion. If the cling layer feels less effective over time, rinse it with water and let it air dry completely.

Inconsistent or faint ink impressions

Check that the stamp is evenly inked using a brayer or by dabbing the ink pad onto the stamp. Ensure you are pressing firmly and evenly onto the project surface. The clarity of the impression also depends on the ink quality.

Ink residue left on the stamp after cleaning

Use a dedicated stamp cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn ink, a gentle scrub with a soft brush might help. Always dry the stamp thoroughly before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the Tim Holtz Cling Stamps - Mixed Media 2, you will need a clear acrylic block of an appropriate size. Peel the stamp from its backing sheet and press it onto the surface of the acrylic block. Ensure the block is clean and free of dust. Apply ink to the stamp surface evenly, then press the inked stamp firmly onto your desired surface. After use, clean the stamp with a damp cloth or a stamp cleaner to remove ink residue. Store the stamps on their original backing sheet or a clean plastic sheet, and place them in a cool, dry place. Compatible with most standard ink pads, distress inks, paints, and mediums.
