I recently purchased my first stamps from Purple Onion Designs by Stacey Yacula<\/a><\/span>. They were having a 25% off sale, and I have been eyeing Stacey’s cute critters for quite some time so I couldn’t pass them up!<\/p>\n What I didn’t realize was that they were red rubber unmounted stamps (perhaps that helps explain their generally great prices). But I don’t let the unmounted state of\u00a0certain\u00a0stamps dissuade me from buying them (especially when they’re so cute). I used Static Cling Mounting Foam by Rubber Stamp Concepts<\/a><\/span> to quickly and easily mount them. Then I trimmed around them with my favorite stamp cutting KAI Scissors<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n I stamped out all the the images\u00a0to make\u00a0an image card for all these cutie patootie stamps. Then I salvaged some plastic packaging from my last replacement die cutting mats and used that as a cling base to\u00a0store the now-mounted stamps. Everything slid easily into my favorite plastic storage sleeves<\/a><\/span> (these seem to have the same durability and thickness as stamps from Simon Says Stamp and Avery Elle but at a fraction of the cost).<\/p>\n The following is a happy mail share and a quick tutorial on how to mount red rubber stamps:<\/p>\n
