At the end of last year I added a short video with some Tips for Stamping to help some new ladies who had asked for help.
I have also been asked how to make rubber stamps stick to an acrylic block and so that has been the subject of another video.
The little image here is from Lili of the Valley and is one of their cute animal range.
But in the video I use a grey rubber sheet of Sentimentals Verses from Crafters Companion
You can cut all the stamps out first individually if you prefer ... but to add the whole stamp sheet to the mounting foam is far easier to cut out.
You are going to have some waste whichever way you do it and this is no more wasteful than any other way ... but it is a whole lot easier especially if you have dexterity problems.
Just make sure that you don't cut into the stamp itself and spoil the image or verse that you are cutting out.
Clean the stamps when you are done and then store them safely. And there are many ways to store them the choice is yours.
I have many of my smaller stamps in CD cases, but the storage that I use in the video keeps all the stamps from one rubber sheet together on one plastic storage sheet in one storage box ... and then I add the picture of the stamps to the box as my reference and I know what is in there whenever I need to use them.
More tomorrow ...

I already knew how to do this, but wish I'd have seen it when I was first starting. It will be helpful for new stampers. Edna
