after reading almost all the threads about the set "so many sayings" I think I have decided to separate mine. It is uncut at this point but I think I will prefer to use it on an acrylic block. So my question is, how do I do that? Some of you said you used ez mount but can I buy that locally or do I order it on line and if so, where? Do I really need the ez mount since it is already on something spongy? Isn't there an easier way? I just bought both the dominoes and the jenga blocks and they seem so big. The clear block seems so perfect, size wise but geesh, I am tired of spending more and more money on this little set. Kwim? I could have bought another set by now. LOL
You can get EZ mount at Allthatscraps online or from TAC. I think a few other online places have it too. You never regret it and it is under $5 for an 8.5x11 sheet. I just put it on all my Bellas! I'm so happy with it!
It's okay. You don't need to be sorry. I only -- just last week -- remembered about the vinyl cling when I found a half sheet of it hidden under some other stuff on a table.
I just cut my So Many Sayings apart. I left the foam on, pulled the "brown" backing off and stuck the label on top of the foam that I had also cut out.
Rather than the vinyl cling, I just spread a very thin layer of Alene's Tack it Over and Over across the label. Let it dry overnight, then store in a CD case. I have been doing this for over a year and am really pleased with the glue.

For the So Many Sayings, I would mount them on the thin EZ Mount foam. That stuff is AWESOME for phrases. It seems like the regular foam (EZ Mount or other stuff) is a bit high and makes it harder to get a good impression.

PS. EZ Mount cling sticks better than regular vinyl cling.

I used to use EZ Mount but the other day when I was at my lss, the lady suggested trying "Tack and Peel". It is a one time thing. Just put it on one side of your acrylic block and voila...stamps stick. No foam needed. At first I was a little skeptical about not having the extra cushion, but I get great images without it. If it starts to lose it's "stick em", just rinse it under warm water and it gets super sticky again. BTW, you are still able to use the other side of your acrylic block for acrylic stamps because you can see thru the clear Tack and Peel. Make sense?
