I have had lots of question from customers lately asking how I mount my stamps onto the clear blocks. So, I made a video today showing how I mount the stamps as well as how to use the blocks as a shadow stamp. If you have any questions on how to use a product, please contact me with your ideas for future videos.
This card was really simple to make. I shadow stamped in Baja Breeze ink and than added a couple of images from the Blessed Mother stamp set with Early Espresso ink. I used the Tearing Edge along the side (remember to always tear towards yourself) and added some speckled ink with an Aqua Painter.

Don’t think it, ink it!
Loved the tutorial! I had no idea about the tombo, my ladies will be excited when I share that tip. We were all becoming frustrated with the clear mounted stamp. I like the card you made too. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have shared this with all my customers. As I was getting frustrated myself. I could imagine how frustrated they were getting!!
I think we have a more difficult time getting the stamps to “stick” because it is so dry here. The glue really makes a difference. Thanks for the comment!
thanks so much for the tutorial; I wasn’t aware about the glue & clear stamps; that’s a great tip!
Thank You Dar for that video, now my stamps wont be falling off of the block anymore (who knew to use the tombow) and I will no longer be cursing these clear sets!!
