Upon receiving them & seeing the quality, I instantly realized they don't need to be mounted on foam. But, my question to you is about the Alene's Tack It Over. I recently started going with unmounted stamps & I had ordered some foam cling sheets but hadn't received it yet and being the impatient person I am when it comes to waiting to get new stamp stuff, I decided to try the Tack It. I had read about it on SCS. I prepared the stamps just like you descibed above, letting them dry more than an hour. But, when I went to use them, I stuck them on an acrylic block, I stamped & when I took the stamp off the block, all the Tack It stayed on the acrylic block. What a mess that was getting it off the block. I haven't tried it again, but now, that seems like the ideal way to deal with these stamps from ISC. Do you have any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong? The stamps I tried it on weren't from ISC, they were from Stampin Up.

I am new to stamping and always wondered how people would use these pages of rubber stamps..Now I see the technique you use to cut them apart and mount them on the paper for storage for future use on your acrylic block.. thnx alot Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks so much for thinking of doing this tutorial. I won a sheet of this type of stamp in a contest and had absolutely no idea what to do with them! I have recently started organizing all my stamps, since I have so many now (who hasn't heard that line before!) I forget sometimes what I have. So I bought a binder, gave each stamp set a number and stamped a sample of each stamp on a sheet with the same number. It took a lot of time, but I just love it! I also bought page protectors that have zipper closures at the top for all my gel sets and have done the same thing with them. Now I can start a brand new section for all the red stamp sheets I am going to buy!!! Hey! Thanks so much for thinking of doing this tutorial.

I read somewhere that rubber deteriorates on acetate. Have you heard this? What has been your experience?" Marilyn, I just started storing mine this way about 1 year ago. I've not seen any ill effects yet. I do notice when I buy clear stamps they come attached to a clear sheet. It's something to think about. Thanks for your questions. :) Marilyn asked “Most transparency sheets are acetate, aren’t they? I read somewhere that rubber deteriorates on acetate. Have you heard this?

I usually use the EZmount but it does get expensive. When I am finished with my EZmount, I won't be buying any more of it. Adding the EZmount does take up extra room in the binders. I never thought of using the plastic sleeves. That sure would prevent misplacing some of the smaller stamps that seem to slip off the board. Thanks for the tips. I appreciate it.

Once I use up my supply (1 sheet left) it's going to be Aileens Tack it Over and Over. Hopefully, I can find it in the Toronto, Ont. area. I have almost no storage room left and so far my rubber stamps that I have cut out and my acrylic stamps are lying flat in a drawer. Not great for finding or viewing. Once opened and used, I try to squeeze them back into the original packaging, (using the plastic sheet for the acrylics) but for the stamps I use more often, the original packages are almost ready for the trash bin. I really like your idea of using the transparency, making an index sheet and then putting it all in a baggie. This weekend's project is organize my cut rubber and acrylic stamps and get them out of the drawer. Great information as always. I have been buying and using EZMount on this type of rubber stamp.
