- After unmounting stamps from their wooden block, the image used to place the stamped image is lost, and one ends up stamping blindly. This video tutorial demonstrated how to put the image back onto unmounted stamps, so that one can see once again what is being stamped.
Best tutorial and I’ve watched so many in preparation for converting my old stamps! Thank you 💕
You are welcome. I value your opinion. Unmounting stamps can be an onerous task but the unmounted stamp needs an image. I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful
The best tutorial on putting on image that I have seen. Thank you
Fabulous tutorial, this has enabled me to really want to unmount all of my wood mounted stamps. Thanks for sharing.
I love this technique! And I love Compulsive OCD people because they are thorough and great directions! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for your feedback - and you are welcome
It looks a bit time consuming but I'm sure that it'll worth doing it. I'll at least do that with my text stamps because they're hard to read backwards and in rubber :-)
Thank you very much for making this really useful tutorial!
Love, Tina
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I was finally able to do this. I had everything at hand except for the vinyl and I didn’t want to go buy some. Looked around and found some. I used the package I had that bed sheets came in. Worked great. Thank you again. 😁
I’m glad it worked out for you Carolyn and thanks for letting me know
Thank you
Best cling mount makeover idea so far without complicated order this and that special items. Thanks for saying the gauge of vinyl
This is the best. I have so many of the red un mounted stamps. It gets to the point to where you do not use them because you have to figure out what it is. Even when I ,mount them of foam who knows what you have. Thanks so much for sharing. I think a production like with another person would make this task go faster. Thank you!!! Lynn Potocki
I'm so happy with your demonstration. I've got some stamps where the picture peels off the block and I've glued that on to the cling mount. I now know that it's the vinyl that would be the best for the cling. I really love this idea with the tissue paper. I've seen this method before but you have done the best demonstration I've seen so far in the last two years! Thank you for this wonderful video.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am so glad the information was helpful in solving your dilemma..
This is the best video for this process I’ve seen! Thanks
I use a bit of chapstick between the image and block whipe off after use, easy peasy no messing around. Holds stamp in place. Thanks for acknowledging Latex allergies! And recommending the use of the vinyl (they are not rubber, rubber is latex lol) gloves. Heads up, white tom bow has latex while the clear is latex free.
Angie Lee Oooo, thank you SOOOO much for the EDUCATION!!! Much appreciated!!!
What a wonderful tutorial! I'm so glad I found this! Thank you!
Me too Carolyn
Wonderful ideas!! My biggest issue, I wanted to make sure my top image matched the stamp image and how cleaver to stamp then draw around the stamp...it will match perfectly now!! WooHoo!!! You are brilliant!
Oops, sorry, you had already answered my storage question below. Thank you.
while it is a little more involved I like your idea because I have everything already! I hate trying to order all kinds of stuff and waiting for it to come LOL! Thanks!
Fantastic...thanks for posting
Very clever. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
For those that find the tissue paper a little too delicate to work with - deli paper should work as a substitute. It's usually reasonably priced online if you don't have a local restaurant supply store.
The name of the glue is Tombo and is available at Stampin’ Up or most craft stores
You ROCK!!! Thank You!
Thanks so much Linda. The stamps that I unmounted since 2011 still stamp well. I appreciate you watching the video.
This was taking a long time to complete, so I tried removing the picture film on the back of the stamp block and it works great for the majority of stamps, however some don't have that film, so I just photocopied the image of the stamp and glued it on the back.
One problem I've encountered is that after using my acrylic block after stamping with different stamps, the acrylic block as well as a new We R Precision Press Advanced Stamp placement thing, which i love, have messy film on both acrylic products. I did some research and found one way to clean them is with coconut oil.
This works well.
You surely didn’t leave the coconut oil on the acrylic, did you? I would think that would keep the stamps from sticking to it long enough to get an image. So, what did you use to clean the coconut oil off the acrylic surfaces?
@@kkrolf2782 no, of course not. This works better than anything else that I have found.., but I know there are cleaners you can buy which I haven't done
@@laurieudall4159 You never completely answered @kk rolf 's question. Which was, "So, what did you use to clean the coconut oil off of the acrylic surfaces?" If you answer this question, Thank you in advance. Linda
Thank you
Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment
Hello! You may want to decide to pick up some Aleene's Tack It Over and Over. Apply it like Mod Podge to the image on your unmounted stamp, allow to dry for 24 hours, and Wah-Lah! It works wonderfully and consistently. :D TFS!
That stuff is too messy for me...would never buy it again...just my 2 cents! BTW, the word is "Voila!" ...lovely French word
Hi there, Maria. I've been on the fence about unmounting stamps and converting to cling for several years now. Am now revisiting the idea and, in the process of searching instructional videos, I came across your wonderful tutorial. Given that you posted this vid back in 2011, I'm wondering how well your converted stamps have held up to use? Do the ink images and vinyl stay put even after repeatedly being put on & pulled off the acrylic blocks?
Oh, yes, please...I, too, would very much like to know!!
I have been looking for a way to get the stamp image onto the back of the stamp. Thank You!!!
You are welcome Laurie. I'm glad you found the information helpful
Got the vinyl but doesnt seem to stick very well. How do you store these stamps?
💗😊💕thank you💕😊💗
Glad I could help
I tried stamping on the vinyl and the image did not stay especially if you have to clean the stamp. As for using parchment paper instead of tissue paper you can certainly give it a try. After using this method for a while I too found, like Gavi S that the vinyl does not stick well, so I applied some glue using the two way glue pen and that solved the problem. How do I store them? In a SU stamp case. Thank you everyone for your feedback.
I’m pretty sure after 7 yrs you may not be checking back on the comments to your Y.T. vids, but IF you do - OR if others maybe have an answer for me? - would perhaps STAZ-ON INK have worked to keep a clear image on the stamp back, WITHOUT the use of the tissue paper??
@@kkrolf2782 even after 10 years I still answer questions about this video. Would images stamped with Stazon ink directly onto the stamp removed from the block have worked ? Probably not unless you have a duplicate stamp.
@@mariavanderform I grant that it’d be a convoluted procedure, but I was thinking that a reverse-reverse stamping might get the job done??
Ok … maybe that’d be too much work … Anyway, thanks B U N C H E S for responding. Hope you stay well!
I’m certainly no expert at taking stamps off their wooden blocks and my idea is one of many ideas by others. By all means if you think the method you are proposing will work, go for it - and let me know how it works. Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it
Thanks for sharing in detail your method. What I don't get is the sense of the tissue paper. Is it only to end up with a white background? Because stamping directly your image on the vinyl should do the job as well, doesn't it? Or would the stazon rub off with time?
Hippabellita1 Did you find out? Did you try StazOn on the foam backing? I was wondering if you had to stamp a block first. No, that wouldn’t have worked ‘cuz THAT would have given you a reversed image! Hmm, how WOULD you have stamped the attached foam???
What kind of vinyl do you use
Have you tried this on the bare rubber stamps not with the foam on it? Also do you think page protectors will work instead of the vinyl?
For it to stamp properly I had to put some foam backing on before I added the image. Certainly you can try it on the bare rubber but I was not happy with the performance. I never tried the page protector, but certainly give it a try. Let me know how it wor ked out
Great techniques and the best I have seen. What is the name of the glue? I do not recognize the name.
She said it was TOMBOW for “the 1st go”; then, when the vinyl and picture started coming off after using them for a time, she reapplied them using “two way”. I’d have to guess that she meant “ZIG Two Way” glue, although we can’t be sure, as that moniker might also apply to some Aleene’s products, which also say they can be used for immediate permanent adherence, or allowed to dry first and then become temporary. Hope that helps.
What do we do with the wooden blocks?
Certainly that has been a conundrum for a lot of people who have unmounted wooden stamps. Here are a few suggestions on what to do with all that wood - after cleaning (and perhaps painting) they could be great toys for children, donate to schools, use as art blocks to paint backgrounds (they come in such wonderful different sizes). Pinterest has a great selection of ideas. I'm sure there are more uses - we just have to think outside the blocks. LOL
Just wondering where you got your vinyl from
I got it at Fabric Land
Check other fabric stores; I think it’s sold as table covering (to protect your damask??)
This may sound ridiculous but what about a laminator. Stamping it on tissue and then putting thru laminator...do you think it would work..I know I can give it a try, just wondering if you had.
It's worth a try. I did not have a laminator at the time but I do now. Let me know how it works.
I will, my husband thought of the idea.
I would think laminator plastic would be too rigid and how would it cling to the Acrylic block?
If I understand how lamination works (it does put something between 2 layers, right?), that would mean that you would quite probably open up the seam in trying to get a close trim around the image. Keep voicing the ideas, though. We WILL eventually come up with “the better mousetrap”!!!
What do i do if unmounted stamps do not have the gray foam backing??
Gray foam backing can be put on unmounted stamps so that they can be used . Mounting sheets can be obtained from your local craft store or Amazon whichever you prefer. These sheets have an adhesive side ogray n which you place your stamp, then cut out around it. The gray foam is in the middle. At the other end is a black or gray surface that allows the stamp to cling to stamping blocks. I use Crafter's Companion EZ Mount because sometimes despite your best efforts the gray foam becomes damaged (or is just old) and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps.
Has anyone had a problem with their red rubber sliding off the gray foam when stored vertically? My stamps all slid off the gray foam backing about half an inch and it was a big sticky mess. Now I store them horizontally
My goodness! I can't say that I have. And I store all my stamps vertically. Could there be another factor e.g. high temperature, direct sunlight?
if you recall the brand of GRAY FOAM, I’m sure we all would be interested, as none of us would care to repeat your unhappy circumstance. Thx in advance for your input.
Good. It now how do I store them??
I store them in a CD case or Stampin' Up has empty stamp cases
I have over 500 wooden stamps!!! Do u know a short cut???? Plz. & Ty.😇😇😇
That's a lot of stamps! Yes, I do have a shorter method and I have done all my wooden stamps this way. Here is a link to a video you might find helpful. czcams.com/video/kGoKSWIvV7Q/video.html Good luck
I found 4 gauge or 8 gauge vinyl, but not 6 gauge unless I order on line and the shipping was over $6.00. I’m wondering if the 4 or 8 gauge would work?
I don't see why not. I got my vinyl at a fabric supply store.
Thank you. This is so helpful! I looked for HOURS to find a way to get the image onto the unmounted stamp. The next problem is--how do you store these? Do you have a suggestion? Thanks again!
I store the stamps into stamp cases purchased from SU. I decorate the boxes using DSP that can be inserted between the skin and box. Makes a lovely Designer case. Thanks for looking at my video.
Maria Vanderform Maria, Does SU still sell the cases? Any inkling as to price?
a bit too long to do when you have more then 500 stamps to do
Sophie Gosselin hehhehheh...so did you give in and do it all those years ago??
Why don't the manufacturers just put rubber stamps on acrylic blocks? I would think wood blocks are more expensive than acrylic.
Debbie Doo Let us NOT add to the pollution of Mother Earth!!! Wood is sustainable - and COMPOSTABLE!!! (AND, if you’ve ever worked in a manufacturing plant that made plastic parts, you wouldn’t advocate using it.)
I can't speak for others - but I pull my stamps off of the blocks to be able to use them with a stamping platform.
To much work
