Ask Beate
Beate Johns answers your technique questions
Q: Adrienne asked: "I bought an unmounted stamp and an acrylic block. How do I mount the stamp on the block?"
A: Does your unmounted stamp have a sticky foam on the back of it already? If it does, just peel the paper backing off and apply the stamp to your clear block and stamp. If not, you can either buy a sheet of EZ-Mount foam and add it to the back of your stamps, or add double stick tape to the back of your rubber before placing it on your block. Check this thread in our forum. It's full of more options to make unmounted stamps stick.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Nancy has a suggestion for the Backpack box tutorial: "LOVE THESE! I just made 4 for my PTA Board officers...we're having our back-to-school organizing meeting tomorrow. Wanted to let everyone know that the little pocket will hold a Ghirardelli chocolate square perfectly, and I fit 4 Lindt truffles in the main pocket."
