Acrylic stamps are easy to use, simple to store, easy to clean and most importantly, offer creative control and artistic precision every time you use them.

Easy to Use:

  • They do not need to be cut around. CTMH and other acrylic stamps are precut and ready to mount on your clear acrylic blocks, a marble rolling pin or even a drinking glass. 
  • They do not require stick um or permanent mounting glue. If they won't stick simply wash in mild soap and water and air dry
  • They are see-through so that your placement of the stamp is easy. When placing the stamp on the clear acrylic block if it is not just right you can lift and replace easily.
  • The clear acrylic block allows you to see exactly where the stamp is placed on the paper and whether there is even coverage of the ink.
  • You can reuse your clear acrylic block over again for another stamp or stamps
  • If you use a larger block you can stamp the front of a card with one stamping by placing multiple stamps on the one block.
  • They are light weight and easy to carry 100's of stamps and one set of acrylic blocks.

Acrylic Stamps are Simple to Store:

  • They can be stored in the packaging that they were shipped in. With CTMH stamps this is a clear acrylic envelope that lets you see what is inside. I can store 14 sets in a holder that is about 7" x 7". Wood mounted stamps would take up to 3 feet by 3 feet to store similar stamps.
  • Acrylic stamps are light weight. I can carry about 25 sets of stamps and 1 set of acrylic blocks for the same exchange weight as 2 sets of wood blocks.  (25 sets of wood blocks I would have to be in weight training.)

Easy to Clean:

  • Cleaning the stamps is easy with mild soap and water. If the stamp does not cling to the acrylic block just wash with mild soap and water and let air-dry. (Do not use soap with anti-bacterial properties as this can dry the stamps out.)

Creativity of Acrylic Stamps:

  • You can design your own "scenes" by placing multiple images on a larger-size block.
  • You can also manipulate the stamp images on the block to create curves or waves for custom edges and frames.
  • I can place my entire Christmas Card Layout on one block and stamp one entire surface in one session.
