Clear Acrylic Stamps

I have used Stampin' Up and Hero Arts and other rubber stamps for years and loved them. They have a huge selection of different designs and words. However, if you have not used clear acrylic stamps, you don't know what you are missing! Clear stamps have been becoming more and more popular in recent years mostly due to two things; affordability and ease of placement.

You generally get more stamps for the money (I guess maybe because you don't have to have a wood block mounted on each stamp...? and maybe the process of manufacturing is just less...who knows). With clear acrylic stamps, like Autumn Leaves or Heidi Swapp, you buy an acrylic block that is reusable over and over again. And clean up is simple with soapy water or clear stamp cleaner. Look at this darling Autumn Leaves clear stamp set by Rhonna Farrer called Big Swirls.
But, the biggest difference is being able to see through the stamp and place it exactly where you want it. No more re-stamping because you stamped something too close or too far away. You can see exactly where the image will end up. This is sooo handy for adding words to your scrapbook pages or handmade cards or for putting one image on top of another image (like a candle on top of a cake!).
