Wholesale Information

Stamp Construction:

Our stamps are made with red rubber with a 1/16” foam cushion. Our wood mounts have a comfortable finger grip on two sides. They are lacquered, and indexed in black.

Stamp Copyrights:

Like all artwork, our stamp images are protected by copyright laws and should not be photocopied, except as outlined below. We are an Angel Company, which means that we give you permission to use our stamps when making items for resale. As long as the images are hand stamped, you may use them any way you like. If you stamp cards or other items that you sell, please be aware that many stamp companies do not have the same policy. It is your responsibility to check out their copyright policies to avoid legal complications.
We also give you permission to enlarge our stamps on a photocopier to be used on scrapbook sheets. However, we do require that you own the stamp you are enlarging. This exception does not give you permission to photocopy stamp images for card making or for other uses. You will likely find that enlarging an image causes the lines to become more fuzzy and broken.

Unmounted Stamps

We offer unmounted stamps at half the price of mounted ones. This option is available for every stamp shown in this catalog.

What You Get:
Unmounted stamps are sold without the wooden mount. You will receive a trimmed rubber die with foam. On the back of the foam is a paper which you can peel off. This will reveal a sticky backing. The stamp can then be mounted on a wood mount of your own.

Indexing Your Stamp:
Stamp the image onto a sheet of sticker paper or contact paper with Memories ink. Trim and stick onto the top of your wood mount.

Pricing:
The price for an unmounted stamp is half the price of a mounted stamp.

Grab Bags
Purchase our imperfect, discontinued or overstocked items at a 60% discount! You’ll get an assortment of stamps and accessories, though probably not an ink pad.
What is an imperfect stamp? It’s one that doesn’t meet our standard of quality. The mount may be rough, dark, or poorly indexed. The die may not be formed completely, which usually makes little difference, though you may want to touch up the image with a fine pen.
What is the value? A $10 bag contains merchandise with a retail value of at least $25, while the retail value of a $25 bag will total at least $63! We recommend Grab Bags for first-time buyers. If you have purchased from us previously, you may receive duplicates of stamps you already own.
At these low prices, we cannot allow returns or exchanges. If you receive an item you cannot use, trade with another stamper, or use it for a gift.

Basic Stamping Instructions
Ink Stamp
Take a stamp and tap it lightly several times on an inkpad. If the stamp is larger than the ink pad move it around until it is completely inked. Don’t rock your stamp or press it too hard – you don’t want ink squished between the lines of the image.
OR...
Turn the stamp upside down so the rubber is facing up. Dab the ink pad across the rubber until it is inked evenly

Stamp Image
Press the stamp firmly and evenly on your paper. Give more pressure for larger stamps, less for smaller stamps.
Practice will make you a stamping pro, so you’ll want to do a lot of it using scrap paper. Examine each impression you make. If the lines are thick and blotchy use less ink. If the impression is too light or incomplete ink your stamp better and apply pressure more evenly.

Clean Stamp
Moisten a paper towel with water and use to clean your stamps. Clean your stamps before changing colors and before storing them. Or we offer a stamp cleaner and scrubbing pad to keep your stamps looking clean and new.

Stamping Hints
 After stamping, you may color your image with colored pencils, chalks, crayons or markers. Or try markers for inking your rubber stamp.
 Turn your stamp so that the die is facing up. Use washable markers to color directly onto the different parts of the die. For example, color a flower lavender and the leaves green, using several shades of each. When finished, breathe on it heavily to moisten the ink. Press on your paper for a multi-colored impression. This technique can be used to ink only part of a stamp, if desired. This doubles and triples the usefulness of each image.
 Use a variety of papers with different colors of ink. You will be surprised at how pretty some images look in unrealistic colors so don’t worry if you don’t have the perfect color of ink pad to use.
 Trim your stamped image into a small rectangle or square. Layer it on a larger piece of paper of contrasting color. Your image will appear to be framed.
 Sponge your background by dipping a sponge in water and squeezing it as dry as possible. Then dab the sponge onto an ink pad and tap across your paper for an interesting background.
 Don’t be afraid to try new things. Place a stamp at an angle. Fix a mistake by stamping on another sheet of paper, cutting it out and gluing on top of the place that messed up. Get together with others to share stamping ideas. You’ll find it lots of fun.
