Using our stamps

• Carefully peel off your chosen stamp from the sheet.
• Place the stamp onto a clear acrylic block.
• Ink the image with your chosen colour.
• Lightly press the stamp down onto the surface to transfer the image.

Taking care of your stamps

Our stamps are made from the highest quality photopolymer and will resist yellowing over time. We recommend storing the stamps in their original packaging.

• After use, wash with soapy water, dry with a lint-free cloth and place back onto the clear sheet for storage.
• Make sure that the soap you use doesn’t contain any added moisturisers as this can reduce the ‘cling’ of your clear stamps.
• Store away from sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Deciding which inks to use with your stamps

Wild Rose Studio stamps work with a wide range of inks. For best results, we recommend using dye-based or pigment-based inks, which are widely available from local craft shops.

If you want to watercolour your images, look for a dye-based ink that is labelled as ‘water-resistant’ or ‘permanent’ as the ink won’t run afterwards.

Extending the lifetime of your stamps (advice on the use of StazOn or solvent-based inks)

Solvent-based inks like StazOn will attack and affect the performance of clear stamps over an extended period of time. For this reason, we generally recommend you avoid these inks, wherever possible.

If you do choose to use these inks, the following advice should extend the lifetime of your stamps:

• Never use StazOn cleaner to clean stamps after use. Clean by following the advice above as soon as possible after stamping.
• Use of StazOn will cause your stamps to stain. However, this staining will not affect the performance of your stamps.
