I find that the stamps stick better (perfectly) without the stickers!! It also helps if you trim the sticker as much as possible. Clean your blocks, and also press VERY firmly the stamp onto the block. Hths!

I've had that same problem....the acrylic block must be clean and the stamp must be clean...then you press it for a minute or so to the block and it should stick....good luck!

sometimes a good "huff" on the stamp and block help, a little moisture helps create a bond.

I never put the label sticker on my Stampin Up stamps and I have not had a problem with them sticking to the blocks.

I put tombow glue (the one with dual applicators and green lids) on the labels, let it dry. I creates a nice tacky layer that sticks to the block very nicely, but you can still remove it easily. I heard people also use Alene's Tack it Over on these SU stamps...
I have to put the stickers on - otherwise all my stamping would be totally off and crooked ;)

I have a problem with SU and HA. I know there is all kinds of fiddling around you can do to get them to stick but with two top notch companies like that should we really have to????? I don't want to leave the label off, that's why I get clear stamps. If other companies can give us stamps that stick, why can't SU and HE? Sorry, I LOVE both of these companies, but really?

I don't, and never have, used the stickers. Before SU offered the stamps in clear mount, I used to attach cling to the regular double-stick foam they have for the wood mounts. After a while, I just removed the rubber and remounted on EZMount. The cling sticks great by itself. Sometimes, it needs a little wipe if it gets handled a lot but...

I don't like the way they work. So NOW store the sticker on the backside of the Stamp case. and then place the stamps inside the case. I've always used Cling stamps and never used any indexing on them.

See sample down below

It is sad that using the supplied stickers cause the cling mount SU stamps to NOT CLING.

Having used wood mounted stamps for years it is not that big a hardship for me to leave the stickers off. But I do see how they would be really useful if only they worked.

I have some with stickers on...(just had to see how bad it was for myself)....and for those I applied a thin coat of Ailene's Tack it Over and Over and let dry. That gives a tacky enough coating so they stay on the block.

I have stickers on all my stamps. I put the Clear Mount Perfectly Placed Guides on all my blocks. The grid lines are very helpful and my stamps stick like crazy

Try cleaning your acrylic block with rubbing alcohol. Make sure the block is dry before you attach the stamp. I was having trouble until I cleaned my blocks.

Yes, that is an annoying problem. I like to have the stickers on my stamps so the way get around it to put double sided tape on the stamp, it works several times and when it loses its' stickiness, I peel it off and put on another piece.
