Question for Papertrey stamp owners...

[willsygirl]

I just received my order from papertrey and I am absolutely delighted with the stamps and cant wait to start using them :-)

I placed them all into the CD case but when I close the case and open it again, the stamps stick together - will this damage the stamps over time? Does anyone have any tips for maybe putting something between them? I just dont want my beautiful stamps to get damaged...I was considering using 2 cd cases for one set but thought I'd ask if anyone has any tips...

Put the acetate sheet that the stamps came stuck to in between the case. HTH!

Mine stick together but it doesn't affect the way they stamp. I'm also noticing that they are getting less "sticky" the more I use them. Have fun with your new stamps!!

The best way to prevent the stamps from sticking to each other is to ink them up!! The more you use them the less "sticky" the tops of them will be

Thanks for your help ladies...it looks like its my excuse to play with stamps tonight - I better get em inked up right away :-)

Have you run an eraser over them? I have a big pink eraser I rub over mine when I first get them. It takes off that sticky finish and gets 'em ready for stamping!

I love my PT Stamps. I NEVER thought I'd be a "clear stamp" girl or an "unmounted" girl but I reach for them over and over!

Have fun playing!

Thanks Tracey - thats too funny as I too never thought I'd be an unmounted or clear stamp person...but now I've tried it, its just opened up a whole new avenue to me :-)

actaully just running your rubber brayer over top a few swipes works too. havent tried t on PT but i did on CTMH and it emilminated the "stickey"issue

I have also used very very fine grit sandpaper on these (just lightly) to take the stickiness off and it works well.
