Stamps & Others II

(image from the net)

The clear stamps (called too polymer stamps, photo-polymer stamps, clear rubber stamps) made with a polymer resine and light (yes light =)) are super easy to use and storage, we can found unlimited posibilities for use a clear stamp.

Then read a few pages about these fantastic toys here you can found a little ideas for use, storage, clean and playing with clear stamps.

Use

1.- Clear stamps can be colored with light (they are produced with light) so it is advisable to keep them protected from light in a cd case, binder or similar.

2.- Use with carefully with solvent inks (staz-on and others), probably you can't clean the stamp after and can't use a disolvent product without damaging the polymer, preferably using ink that can be dissolved (adirondack and others).

3.- Some stampers report better results if they stamp on a slightly giving surface such as a mouse mat or a similiar and use a single large acrylic block for starting with the stamps, don't buy a lot of blocks, with two or three differents sizes is enough.

4.- In a different pages recomended 'scuff' the stamps before use, you can use a fine grit sand paper or strong eraser for it (I have not tried this yet) for a better definition in the images.

Clean

1.- With water and soap

2.- Baby toitlet

3.- Ph neuter soap

Storage

I found some ideas for storage but I prefer are the bidding book and the cd case (maybe I prefer this one for a unmounted rubber stamps... I can't smell the rubber lol) here some links about

1.- Bidding books

2.- CD Cases

Pros/Contras

Clear stamps are cheap (you can found for a dollar), easy storage, unlimited posibilities, better clean system, no cutting needed and easy use and colocation in you project.

Worst definition level, are more fragile, can tear, crack or stain easily.

Noy you decide and here some links with important information about clear stamps, enjoy it!! ;)

Stamps & Others I

Cox & Cox

Was difficult to me when I started the physical scrapbooking found information (in spanish) about the stamps.. my favorite stash and my worst nightmare

When I ordering my goodies at digital shops can't found a 'clear' explanation about stamps, which are the best, pros and contras... I've read during months for try to understand the awesome stamp world...

I'll try to explain in various post my 'clear' ideas about the stamps ;)
Clear or rubber? that's the question

Sincerely I started with clear stamps, I found it easier to store, clean and use, I ordered my first stamps and the quality looks me high (I'll not mention brands, I'm not so expert) and used with a different inks... I thought couldn't use them in the right way, something that not convinced me

In the last purchases I ordered rubber stamps (mounted and unmounted) and only hate the smell of rubber and that they occupy more space...

Ok let's go with the first step, those are the different types

1.- Rubber stamp mounted

Impress Rubber Stamps

2.- Rubber Stamp Unmounted

Inkling & Imprints

3.- Clear Stamps

Autumn Leaves

Ok, we have an aproximate idea about stamps and types, continous in the next post with how use it!

Happy scrapping!
