You don't have to be a seasoned pro to use our stamps.
Tips and Techniques for using Peachy Keen Stamps:
Peachy Keen Stamps are made with the best quality of polymer in today's market! They're made of transparent, peach-tinted polymer with a cling that's built-in! ALL of our stamps are unmounted and require an acrylic block to adhere to. Our stamps are made with a softer material (durometer) which adds life to your stamps!
Acrylic Blocks:
You only need one of each size, ever, as you will use the blocks as temporary mounts. Your acrylic block should be clean and dry for proper adhesion of the stamps. You can lay graph paper under the block to line letters up perfectly, if you choose to. Try to use blocks closer to the size of the stamp for best results in image quality. The reason for this is that a very small stamp on a very large block may cause you to rock the stamp left or right depending on your dexterity.
Stamping with Peachy Keen Stamps:
Peel the stamp from the package backing. Stick the stamp to the clean and dry acrylic block. Ink the stamp - LIGHT PRESSURE ONLY REQUIRED! See through the stamp and block to center your image and STAMP! Again with lighter pressure than a rubber stamp.
Clean up:
Pigment ink rinses right off with just water. I use baby wipes (alcohol free) to clean my stamps after each use, even if it is StazOn or a dye-based ink. You may use solvent based cleaners if you choose to. We recommend that you rinse the stamp with clear water immediately afterwards.
Built-in Cling:
The stamps are not only Peachy Keen in color.. they really are Peachy Keen all together! The cling is built-in the back of the stamp. The stamps will stick to any slick surface. After repeated use, oils from fingers (or say you dropped it in a pile of glitter) will cause the cling to lessen. Not to worry! The cling is reactivated COMPLETELY by rinsing it with clear water. Let the stamp air dry for best clinging results.
Storage:
You can keep your stamps in a notebook binder on page protectors or in an empty c.d. case. To prevent abnormal discoloring, keep the stamps out of direct sunlight.
Stamping with acrylic paint:
Pour acrylic paint directly onto a make up sponge (about 1" diameter)
-
Work the paint into the sponge, by pouncing the painted side on your palette paper, gently (don't over work this).
-
Ink your stamp with the "homemade" paint sponge.
Stamp! The nice thing about stamping with paint is that you don't have to worry about buying ink, ink running or if you mess up! If you make a mistake, just wipe it off with wet toweling and stamp it again!
- Wash out your make up sponge or throw it out when you are done. You will need to rinse the stamp with water immediately when you are done stamping, so have an extra basin of water handy when using this stamping technique.
For those of you that don't know, acrylic paint is ACID FREE!! |
