- Can you use wood mounted stamps on your stamp platform? You bet you can! Follow these easy steps when Mounting or Re Mounting rubber stamps for the BEST of Both Worlds!
This was very informative. I am so very glad you made this video. Thank you Julia.
You are so welcome!
Excellent video! This will be very helpful for stampers who have not tried remounting.
Thank you Sue! I like the fact that I can now use a rubber stamp on what ever platform I choose at any moment.
Hi Julia! I have recently discovered your channel and am enjoying all your tips and tricks. I was delighted to come across your video about the SU stampin wheels. I have quite a collection from when they were popular but haven't used them in years. I was even thinking of throwing them out or donating them until I saw how you repurposed them to use in the Misti. What a wonderful idea! I had heard there was a way to remount wood block stamps, but I never had a clear understanding of how to do it and what to use until I started watching some of your older videos. Thank you so much for sharing all your talents. I really want to get into donating my cards and you have taught me that just because I don't especially like one of my cards, someone else might like it. As long as card is "road worthy" (I believe that's the term you used) put it in the donation box! Thanks for the encouragement! You're the best!!!
Hi Linda - Thank you - I am so glad you discovered the channel and are getting useful info from it. I was always frustrated with wheels - great concept but the function just isn't really there. But when you pull them - WOW are they handy!! Keep crafting and enjoying life!!
Julia, what a helpful video. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
Glad it was helpful! I remount stamps all the time - just did one this morning in fact. I only remount when they are not stamping well so I can use on a platform. But a lot of people pull their wood to save space. There is another video that shows another idea that I came up with here - czcams.com/video/tHsVxkxjaY4/video.html And I am starting to do never mounted wood this way.
Good ideas! I like the images on my woodblock stamps, but some could need new foam. Thanks for showing how all of the foam is helpful.
Hi Lisa - I find it is rarely the rubber. But the older stamps foam can be really hard and dry. When you replace the foam they stamp like new. I honestly have only had a handful where it was an issue with the rubber stamp.
Thank you so much Susie! I was given several containers of rubber stamps still on the wood and I love using my misti when stamping, in case I need to stamp it again. I haven't used the rubber stamps for that reason. Now I can! Yippe!! Thank you again.
Hi Pamela - Glad you could use this info. It has completely changed my stamp collection. There is also another video in my playlists about using a hot knife for cutting foam which make the foam process easier for those curvy little stamps, you might like it. Come back soon!!
Thank you Susie. This video helped a lot. I have several wood mount stamps I'd like to try this with.
Hi Marlene and Welcome to the channel. I love wood mounts, but some stamps just need that flexibility to be pulled off and used on a stamp platform. This mount trick really helps me and I hope it helps you too! Happy crafting and Come back soon!!
I really needed this. I have a little collection of wood stamps that don’t work anymore. I hope this will solve my problem! 😃
I hope so too! Only a handful of my stamps the rubber has been the problem. All the rest, it has been the foam that got hard. Best of luck! Did you happen to see this video also? It talks about using an acetate jig on your platform for precision stamping with rubber stamps. czcams.com/video/RpX0lWjS3kE/video.html
@@SeniorSusieStamps No, but I will take a look! Thank you!
Hi Julia, Thank you so much for this information. I've heard of people doing this but didn't quite know how the process worked. It's not something that I plan to attempt at this time, but sometime in the future I might need to do so.
You are very welcome Brenda! I have found over the years that when a wooden stamp doesn't stamp properly, it is usually that the foam under the rubber has dried out and is no longer resilient when you press it down. I don't routinely pull stamps off wood, but it's a good back up plan to know about!
What a great idea! I love my wood block stamps but there are times I wish I could use them in my MISTI. Now I can do that. Thanks!
Me too - I just struggled with pulling them off - especially the vintage stamps. Hope this helps you with yours. Come back soon!!
Thanks for the link to this, it is SO helpful! That's brilliant to use the release paper on the block so it can be stored that way. I have a bit of work to do! ;) heh hehee
I have a huge collection of wood stamps. And I only do remount if they are not stamping well, or if I want to do precision stamping on the platform. It's almost always the foam layer that has dried out, not the rubber. It would be overwhelming to think about remounting the entire collection...
@SeniorSusieStamps I'm a rotten stamper. Anything that I felt like I would have to do twice I would definitely remount.😬
@@mzp6620 I totally understand that. There is also a great precision stamping video on the channel if you are interested. It uses an acetate jig and stamp platform for placing multiple stamps. Check it out if you like - czcams.com/video/RpX0lWjS3kE/video.html
Thank you for making this video! I have some unmounted red rubber stamps from Purple Onion and although I have their mounting block to use with their stamps I think mounting them with the foam would be easier because then they are all ready to use without having to interchange them on the one block. With doing it your way I could more easily use them with my Misti too! Thank you again!!
You are very welcome - I hope you find it easy to do! Come back soon!!
@@SeniorSusieStamps Thank you! I’ll definitely be watching for your videos! 🙂
Brilliant! TFS! ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Mary Lynn - I just can't seem to give up my wood blocks. But boy I do love the way you can multi-stamp with my Misti. I think this is the best of both worlds!!
@@SeniorSusieStamps Yes, the Misti was a game changer - it’s “comforting” to know you won’t screw up your card when you can stamp the sentiment perfectly with the Misti at the end! 😘
Thank you so much!!!
Welcome Alemap! I hope you try this technique - it is so versatile. I'm just an old wood stamp girl and can't bear to give them up. New stamps I don't mount up on wood anymore. And as I find those that need remounting I do it this way and have never regretted it once. Come back soon!!
thanks for the info something i didn't know
Glad I could help - come back soon!
Thank you ❣👍
Hi Ammi - You are very welcome. Come back soon!!
Julia, how did you come up with this idea? If only I knew about this a few years ago I might have kept more of my wood block stamps!!! At the time I had a space issue, although now since my husband passed away last year I now have created my craft room and have plenty of room. I only kept around 20 stamps that I removed from their wood blocks, and those stamps now sit in a storage case on a shelf in my craft room. I really enjoy seeing new tips and tricks... thank you, and have a blessed day. : )
Hi Gloria - I use release paper for foam tape and I think that's where I got the idea to try it on the EZ Foam side of stamps. My heart and sympathy goes out to you on the passing of you husband. That is my worst nightmare...Hugs, Julia
@@SeniorSusieStamps Hi Julia, thank you. I must say that it hasn't been the easiest time over the past 9 months, but my faith in Jesus is getting me through all the difficult times, and loneliness. Of course this hasn't helped by Covid and the social distancing and lockdowns...! Although we are coming out of that, but I am still cautious. My crafts in watercolours (only new at this although I have been doing the Art Impressions technique for some time now) and making cards is my wonderful escape where I can create and have fun.
God's richest blessings and love, Gloria
@@gloriaonesimus6244 Please know you are on my prayer list. Keep crafting - Creativity helps with depression. I never know what I am going to get into when I go up to my studio...Have a wonder filled day!
@@SeniorSusieStamps Julia, that is so sweet thank you. My craft room is a wonderful distraction, but at the moment I am rearranging everything, and tidying it up...! I am finding time to create as well... LOL!
Blessings in Jesus.
wow! love how you did this. I have a bunch that I bought from eBay. By the way, how did you remove the rubber off of the block holder was it hard to get off?
Hi Clara - I am glad to find another soul that buys used stamps!! Welcome! I love having the options this re-mounting technique give you. Now, with some stamps the rubber just peels off but others can be a bit problematic. I find a thin dull knife can help you with those, just to get a little starting place to pull the rubber off. If they are really stuck, warm them up carefully with your hairdryer/heat tool. Not too close or too hot. The heat softens the adhesive and they become easier to pull. You can take a gum eraser and get most of the adhesive residue off after they are pulled. And sometimes just rubbing vigorously with your finger will start an adhesive rollup that will pull the rest of the adhesive off too. Every stamp is a bit different, so be prepared for that. I have some now that the previous owner has used some really tacky glue to adhere it to the foam, so wish me luck!!
I wish you luck in getting that adhesive off.
Thank you so much for the reply. I'll need to get the sheets first before I do anything. Yeah but if I try and take off the rubber then I'll be ready to stick the adhesive on. Again thanks for your detailed reply it helps. Have an awesome day.
@@claralebsack6077 You too!!
