Ok, I lied.

I'm not really hiding. I have just been super duper busy and haven't had any stamp time other than working on an order for 200 Christmas cards. Whew!

I thought I'd show you how I mount & use my Verve stamps (and other nekkid rubber). Hope it helps ya!




Step 1: Cut your images apart & trim closely.












Step 2: Apply Aleen's Tack it Over & Over to the back of your stamp. The larger the stamp, the more adhesive you need to apply.
**A little goes a long way!!**







Step 3: Brush adhesive to create a thin layer on the back of the stamp using a foam brush.







Step 4: Set stamp aside and brush adhesive onto the back of the rest of the stamps. Allow a few minutes to dry. The glue dries clear, so you will be able to tell when it's dry.

(in the pic you can see that the oval stamp is dry, and the smaller stamps are still wet)



Step 5: Once your stamps are dry, place the stamp on your hand and peel off a couple times to take a bit of the "stickiness" off. This will help keep your stamps from leaving residue on your blocks or storage cases.

Step 6: This is what the stamp looks like after being placed on my hand.

Step 7: Your stamps are now ready to store and use!

I love using Aleen's Tack it Over & Over because it clings so tightly to my block. I can scrub the stamp with my Stamp & Scrub and it won't come off. It's also super cheap! I don't need extra foam cushion with these stamps because they are so deeply etched. If you would like a little extra cushion, place a mouse pad underneath your cardstock or paper.

I will be back tomorrow with something stamped...I PROMISE!!! HUGS!!
