Question about Popcorn the Bear Stamps

[Muse]

I just ordered some Popcorn the bear stamps. Will these work like other cling stamps, or do I have to do something else to them? After I ordered, I realized that they didn't mention "cling" just that they were unmounted.

Thanks for the help.

I wasn't familiar with them so I did a search, looks like they are unmounted rubber only. Meaning you'll get just the rubber sheet, you'll need to trim them and mount them on cling (like EZ mount) yourself or use Tack it Over and Over, etc

they are rubber unmounted stamps,i use a glue stick to hold the stamp on the block xx jo xx

Thanks for the replies ladies. I think I will look for some ez-mount.

How close to the edge of the image do you cut the images? I have never cut an unmounted stamp and am afraid that I will mess it up.

Thanks!

I personally cut pretty close because I don't want the edge of the cut rubber to get inked and show when I stamp. But it takes some practice to get close with out cutting into the design or undercutting, try angling the scissors away from the image so you don't cut away too much of the foam underneath. Hope that makes sense

Thanks for responding back. I will cut it out tonight. I just am very nervous about messing it up.

I also trim as close to the image as I can! Just start and go carefully, you can always go in a second time and trim closer if you need too... You will see after the first one, that it is not that hard to trim them!
