How to use unmounted rubber stamps

Using unmounted stamps with acrylic blocks will not only save you money, but you will save storage space as well. All of The Angel Company unmounted rubber stamps come with cling mounting cushion (cling foam also sold separately) and a storage container.

Once your stamp sets arrive, simply peel off the backing from the adhesive side of the mounting cushion and mount it to your rubber stamp. Next, trim the excess rubber using a sharp pair of scissors. I recommend the Kai Gold scissors (available in The Angel Company Catalog) as they are great for cutting rubber. Finally, peel off the backing from the cling side of the cushion and you are ready to go.

Still confused?

You are using the clear acrylic blocks to take the place of the wood mount. You will choose the appropriate sized block to fit your stamp and press your stamp onto the block. It stays in place by the cling mounting cushion. Once you are finished with the stamp, you peel it off of the mount and then place it back into your container. The older-style CD cases (not slimline) work perfectly for storage. You only need to purchase one set of acrylic mounts in a variety of sizes since you are using them over and over. I recommend the Acrylic Mounting Starter Kit (available in the TAC catalog for $14.00 plus tax & shipping).
