Wow, you make this look so easy. I must have a couple of hundred wood mounted stamps in storage boxes throughout the house. I’m sorting them now - keepers vs selling. My favorites I will be using your technique to convert. Great tip to use the leftover sticky stuff from the label sheets.
I just subscribed to Paper Pumpkin after a 20 year stamping hiatus. Trying to decide if I want to convert my old wood block stamp sets. Thanks for this tutorial
I did end up converting my block mount rubber stamps. I spent a full day on the project. I kept the foam in tact and stamped the image on cling vynal with Stazon ink. The only issue I have had is getting the image precise on the back side of those older multiple layered Stampin up stamps (definitely decorative daisy). I project that may be a small issue eventually when I try to design with them. Thanks for your video.
@@RobinsCreations I really love my old wood mount stamps and I think they are beautiful to work with, but when you want to line something up just so, they are very difficult to work with. Being able to use them with a stamping platform is what makes me very tempted to take the plunge, especially for some sets where I really need to line them up right and have wasted too much precious cardboard with mistakes. I just wonder what I will do with all the wood!
@@DesireeStamat Do you remember the Stamp a ma jig? It was a stamp positioner from years ago. It would help to accurately apply the image on the back. And you could add one or two red or blue marks on each image with sharpie pens. Line up the marks and you know it is accurate.
Just subscribed , you have great ideas , thank you so much , I first saw your craft room tour which lead me to your unmounting stamps . Can’t wait to watch more and get inspired to create
Thank you for watching my video. I'm so glad I did this. I also have reused the clam shell cases the stamps came in for blends storage, dimensional storage, glue dots from paper pumpkin kits, and more. If you are not already subscribed to my channel, I would really appreciate your subscription.
I’m glad I found your video. I thought about removing the stamp from the wood block like that but didn’t know how to cover the backside of the stamp. If a person can’t remove the clear picture of the stamp, that’s when I wouldn’t know what to do. The backside of the stamp that was attached to the wood block is still sticky. I don’t know if taking the embossing buddy to the sticky back would allow the cling backing to stick to it. Hope I’ve explained things well here. Thanks for your instructions!
Thank you for your kind words and watching my video. So do you have a question? I put the sticker with the stamp image directly to the foam then put a small piece of cling to the image (non sticky side). Is this what you are asking?
@@RobinsCreations No, I meant if you can’t get the sticker off of the wood block of the image, then what would you do because the backing of the foam rubber is still sticky? Hope I explained it better here. Thanks’
@@bonniedeibel1546 try microwaving the wood block with the sticker for about 10-15 seconds to "loosen" the adhesive. This always worked for me. Otherwise, you probably should cover the foam with a piece of cling.
And some wood mounted stamps don’t have a plastic sheet image on its back. Maybe an image can be stamped on the back of the gray foam surface - after the sticky is removed? Then a cling vinyl piece can be applied over the gray foam?
The container of stamps that are rubber side up, are those already marked and what kind of stamp they're going to be... Is there a place I could buy blank rubber stamps to make along with the wood holder
I'm not sure I understand your question. These are Stampin' Up! stamps that were meant to be mounted on wood blocks. I choose not to mount them on wood blocks and made them so they would cling onto an clear block. Takes up much less room. Does this answer your question?
@@RobinsCreations thank you I did order from amazon but then I found at hobby lobby brands " Art-t-san" transparent bags 4x6 [25] for 3.99 and another "Clear-Bags" 6 7/16 x 8 1/4 [25] for 4.49 haven't used them as yet but for the price I'll give them a try. I have tons of wood mounts from Stampin Up and want them converted. Your video great help. Thanks again.

Thank you for watching Sandra. It is pretty easy just time consuming. Love that they take up so much less space
Yes, Robin, I found this extremely helpful. Your technique will save me a lot of money. Thank you very much.
I’m glad you liked the video and will save you money. I would appreciate if you subscribe, like, and share my channel if you have not already.

I have no regrets deciding to covert mine. Takes up so much less room and you can use them with a stamparatus.

Great ideas! I was a demo in the 90s and have over 200 sets! Yikes, I am going to start converting them. Thanks for this video!
Thank you for watching. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for subscribing.
Brilliant and so easy, thank you 👍
Glad it was helpful!
That is a great idea. The stamps take up less space without the wooden part.

I have a lot to do. Thanks for the tips
Saved me so much space.
That’s how I do it

Robin where did you purchase the clear packages for your converted wood stamp sets
These are Avery elle envelopes. You can get them at different places including Amazon. I chose small and large.

@@RobinsCreations I looked that up, but it didn’t come up in my HL app. But I did find one called Art-I-San, with an i.
How do you keep the stamps from falling to the bottom of the storage envelope?
I use a piece of scrap laminate or window sheets and leave part of the cling exposed to stick to it. You can also poster tacky on them.
Where did you get the packets you put your stamps in
They are Avery Elle envelopes some fit in the small other in the large - you can get them multiple places - amazon, JoAnns
You said what page of the catalogue. What catalogue?
The 2020-2021 annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog.
@@RobinsCreations Thanks!
