Here’s a wonderful tip  suggested to me, by my friend Malissa! (who was setting up her craft space, and was looking around her house for something she could place under her card base when she stamps…and her eyes ran across her dining room table…..lol)

When using unmounted stamps, sometimes when you are stamping on a hard surface,you feel like you aren’t getting a good impression,  soooooo for a cheap and effective cushion, pick up one of those foam type place-mats. They usually run about 99 cents. They are the PERFECT stamping cushion. lol  ( I bought 3 of them that were Christmas themed, after the holidays for about 25 cents each…lol)

Just be sure to have a piece of scrap paper on top of it, since the ink may not dry on the placemat and you run the risk of smearing it on your self, your art..etc…

Did you know? It’s so easy to get dozens of looks when you use unmounted stamps! You can curve your stamp up, down,
or up and down before you stamp them! Take a look at the fun quote below,  that stamp is actually a straight stamp, but by
curving it before you stick it on your acrylic block you can get different looks with it!
