Anyone have the Block Party set? I'm having trouble...

[saliber]

I can't get the reindeer and trees to show up very well on the Christmas stamp. Is there a trick to making it show up nice? For me it is just a solid block.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any tips.

I noticed there weren't very good impressions up on the gallery either.

I really wanted this stamp set. I hope someone get's back to you.

I would try applying the ink to the stamp with a brayer and placing the card stock on the upside down stamp, covering it with a scrap piece of copy paper and going over the top with a brayer again to ensure even coverage. I've also had great luck using versamark and poppin' pastels.

I am having the same problem, and it's so frustrating! I need to make 80 Christmas cards with this stamp and at this rate, it's going to take me forever. :( Had I known it would turn out the way it is, I probably would have picked a different stamp set to use for my holiday cards. I guess I'll just hope that people think that it looks "vintage."

I just ordered this set. I hope I have better luck with the mage - I really hate it when they don't turn out well!

Try running your sanding block across it, lightly or rub a rubber eraser over it. When I've had trouble with images inking up, these techniques have worked for me.
