NEW Clear-Mount Guides and Video Tutorial

Stampin up floral fillers rubber stamps clear mount guides tutorial

If you are a clear-mount rubber stamp fan, there are two very cool additions to the Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog that may interest you. Today's video tutorial provides a demonstration and tips on the Clear-Mount Perfectly Placed Guides (#121785) and the Clear Block Cleaning Cloth (121779).  I made ten of these 3 x 3 note cards without a "blooper" sentiment in the bunch!


 

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Keep your clear blocks "cling-friendly" by using Dawn Dish Soap once a month (more often if they have been used a lot).  Removing residue (including Stampin' Mist) is essential in order for clear-mount stamps to adhere properly to the blocks.
  • Lining up stamps relies on good image placement.  See my Clear Block Quick Tips Video
  • The sweet scalloped note cards were created using the Bigz Scallop Squares Duo Die.  Here's a previous video demonstration to show you the simple steps. Bonus . . . they fit in the Stampin' Up! 3/1/8" x 3 1/8" Mini Square Envelopes (107309)
  • Floral Fillers stamp set offers a lovely pattern that coordinates with Stampin' Up! punches.  Both the sentiment and cropped butterfly are from the set.  See all Floral Filler stamp images below.

    6. What a pretty little card. It really shows how pretty that stamp set is when used. Sometimes the catalogs just don’t do them enough justice. You need to actually see them used. Thank you for another great video! You always give us such wonderful tips. I just found the clear mount guides & was wondering how they worked. And you gave me my answer. They look pretty slick, so will add them to my ever growing shopping list. Just love your site & always enjoy seeing your daily project & tips of the day.

    10. Ooooo! Mine arrive today! Thanks for echoing the lesson I’m trying to get through to my clear mount customers. I keep telling them Stampin’ Mist is not good to leave behind on the blocks and a little dish soap is wunderbar. @Maria, your son is just darling! Love it.

    17. Good morning, Mary: I’m a big fan of clear mount stamps. I always choose them instead of wood mount if it’s offered. I haven’t seen those grid guides either so, I’m going to check the catalog again. Thanks for the tip on how to keep the “cling” on the acrylic blocks.
      Maria.
