FAQs

What size acrylic block should I use?

The size of the acrylic block depends on the specific stamp you are using. It's best to choose a block slightly larger than the stamp image itself to allow for easy handling and precise placement.

Do these stamps require special ink?

No, these stamps work with most standard ink pads, including dye inks, pigment inks, and distress inks. For best results with distressing techniques, use inks designed for that purpose.

How do I store these stamps long-term?

The stamps come on a 3-hole punched sheet and are designed to be stored in the Tim Holtz Stamp Storage Binder (sold separately). Alternatively, you can store them flat in a protective sleeve or container.

Can I use these stamps with embossing powders?

Yes, these stamps work well with embossing inks and powders. Apply embossing ink to the stamp, stamp your image, then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat to create a raised, embossed effect.

Are these stamps pre-cut?

The stamps are deeply etched red rubber mounted on cling foam and come on a 3-hole punched sheet. They do not require cutting apart from the sheet but are ready to be used once adhered to an acrylic block.

What does 'Etcetera' refer to in the product name?

The 'Etcetera' in the product name typically refers to a collection of miscellaneous or supplementary items, suggesting these stamps offer a variety of artistic elements that can be used in conjunction with other crafting supplies.

Troubleshooting

Stamp not adhering to acrylic block.

Ensure both the stamp's cling foam and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Remove any dust or residue from the cling surface.

Faint or incomplete stamp impressions.

Check that the stamp is firmly adhered to the block. Apply even pressure when stamping. Ensure the ink pad is well-inked and the stamp is covered adequately with ink.

Ink smudging or bleeding.

Allow ink to dry completely on the paper surface before touching or layering. Consider using a quicker-drying ink or a sealant on your project if using absorbent materials.

Cling foam losing stickiness over time.

Gently clean the cling surface with a baby wipe or a damp cloth (no soap), then allow it to air dry. This can help restore some of its adhesive quality.

Cons

  • Acrylic blocks are required for use and sold separately.
  • Storage binder is also sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for full organizational benefits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Tim Holtz Etcetera Cling Rubber Stamps, peel the protective backing off the stamp and adhere it to a clear acrylic block of appropriate size. Ensure the image is fully in contact with the block for best results. You can then ink the stamp as usual and press it onto your project surface.

Compatibility: These stamps are compatible with all standard clear acrylic blocks. They are designed to work exceptionally well with Tim Holtz Grid-Blocks and the Tim Holtz Stamp Storage Binder. They are also ideal for use with various ink pads, distress inks, and stamping tools.

Care: After each use, clean the stamp by gently wiping away any ink residue with a damp cloth or a specialized stamp cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the rubber or foam. Allow the stamp to air dry completely before re-adhering it to the clear backing sheet or placing it back in your storage binder. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
