What to do with "old" Canvas BG???
I don't know if this has been discussed, but I just got my "new" larger size Canvas BG replacement and want to do something different/special with the old smaller stamp. Cutting it into shapes (square, rectangle, triangle) is the obvious choice, but does anyone have an "out of the box" idea??

How 'bout making your own (textured) monogram letter?
|
Interesting. SU! wanted mine back. Not sure what they did with it.

make your monogram out of it ... save yourself a $25.00 letter!
sorry someone put that already! cut it into 1x1 or 2x2 and use as incentives pick a heart or flower or any outline-type stamp and stamp it onto the foamy side that you unstick cut out and you'll have a "color-in" stamp for fresh flowers or that heart from hope is....or whatever set you chose. get a knife and gouge out a design of your own... mirror image, don't forget! make it into a frame, with a tag punch and other shapes cut out from the center piece make a pair of shoe lifts out of it... great for slippery days! use it as a coaster in your livingroom... great conversation piece use it as a lint picker rub it over your couch before guests come over stick it to your dash in your car to keep your sunglasses from sliding all over your window well. use it around your travel mug as an extra measure of insulation. stamp it with stazon to make it an advert for your business. use it as a door stop; just wedge it under there whole! use it as a massager with your honey! then he can have the joy of stamping too! water-based massage gels only! use it to raise up your tv so you can see it better from your bed... what 'box' were you thinkin of? |
???
I don't know about "replacement" canvas background stamp. Can someone explain? Thanks.

I to had to give mine to my dealer to send back.
|
I got to keep mine and I use it for Stazon so I don't stain my "good" one :)

Ok, my idea was not nearly as funny but I backed mine with a piece of that clear table cloth stuff like they have at JoAnn's in the big roll. I can now use it for 3 dimensional stuff 'cuz it'll wrap and bend any way I want it to! BENDABLE canvas.... oooh aaah!

How small was your "smaller" sized background? For my canvas background I always have to shave about 1/16 off my 5 1/2" x 4 3/4" card stock that doesn't get stamped. I'm curious if I have the smaller one?
|
Sorry for hijacking!
|
I'm curious too... can someone explain how much shorter... I was just mentioning to my coworker that I really like the new BG stamps from the Spring mini cause they go from edge to edge on the wood block and it makes it so much easier to stamp my cards with....
Should I call SU and have them replace mine too??? Anyone??? |
The old one is about a 1/4 inch short on the 5-1/2" length. The new one covers a whole 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of CS completely!!
|
Thank you ... I'll have to go home and check now.
|
I guess I'm wondering if we got ours when they first came out if they are still returnable. Mine is shorter than a regular front but just a smigin.
|
Mine is short too. I'd love to know if they will still replace it.

I ordered mine from the Winter mini when it first came out and just had it replaced last week.
|
Measure the length of yours. If it's less than 5-3/4, call your demo. If you remember, let her know when you ordered it. SU really prefers to deal with the demo unless there is some reason she's not available.
|
So what is the deal with the canvas bg stamp? I've had mine for a long while but never paid attention to what the problem might be. TIA
|
I just measured mine and it is 5 1/2 so I guess i call DS tomorrow. This is great. I love this stamp but have always hated the shortness. I figured it just the stamp. I'm so excited.
|
I ordered mine Jan. 2005 - called DS today and they are sending me a new one. They did ask for an order number, so you may need to find the order number it was ordered on. I never would have guessed this was an issue. A lot of my other BG stamps are 5 1/2" long...
|
Just got off the phone with DS and I am only getting new rubber. This is wonderful but now I have to figure out how to somehow utilize my old canvas with no wood.
|
WOW! Thanks so much to 'e waterous' for starting this thread!!
I had no idea there was a 'recall' on the canvas background :rolleyes: Sooo...I went thru all of my orders from 12-1-04 to current (on the SU! web site of course) to see which of my customers had ordered these, came up with a list and called SU! They are shipping me replacements for all of my orders! COOL! My customers are not even expecting these so this will be a pleasant serendipity for all of them :D YEAH SU! on the awesome customer service ;-) |
Oh! I forgot to ask in my last post----for those of you who have replaced your rubber already--what is the best way you have found to get it off your block?
SU! suggested to put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm up the adhesive and then pull it off--- Any other suggestions that have worked better for you? |

I am also glad I saw this post... but, since I got mine back in July... I had to fight for my replacement. SU support told me it was over 90 days since I purchased the BG and that I would have to buy another one. My reply to her was... how would I know .... unless such wonderful people like you folks brought it up... to measure my stamps? Why should I? I entrust SU to send me the correct dimensions and if not, to replace it regardless of when I bought it. I also told her that I have several customers who probably were in the same boat... so now I have to measure all my stamps???? YIKES?
She had to check with her supervisor... then she came back and said they'd replace the rubber, but that I would have to pick up the 3.95 shipping. Oh well, at least I'm getting the right size and am very happy. If you haven't checked your stamp do so now and call.... |
I just called and I was told that it was an old recall and that they will replace the rubber on mine but I had to pay the shipping on it.

the CS said not to return it and i didn't have to pay shipping. now i just need to decide what to make the old one and how to mount it since i have no extra wood pieces? |

I just have the stuff that I peeled off my new canvas rubber on my old canvas rubber. I figure I can get someone to cut a piece of wood that size and my mom can have it. She won't care that it is a shade short.
|
so, I'm gonna hyjack a little bit, Can you still order the canvas background? Or has it retired? I can't remember
|
I can't believe I missed this whole issue of being able to replace the too short Canvas BG! I'm attempting to come up with a list of customers who ordered this stamp. When did SU start making the BG bigger? Thanks!
