Favorite acrylic blocks?

[Paula O.]

I'm needing to add to my collection of acrylic stamping blocks? What are your favorites and why? I prefer beveled edges, but grid is not necessary.

I don't know what you already have, but my fave are Stampin' Up! The edges are beveled or maybe curved.

I love the Stampin' Up! blocks. They are so easy to grip.

In all fairness, I am a demo so may be predisposed to them.

Stampin' Up or Close to my Heart.

I do have some others that I use, but they all meet these requirements:
...Thick...3/4 inch.
...Easy to hold.

Some of them have guidelines on them. Others are a special size.

Any that are standard thickness, chunky, not skinny, with grids. I prefer square/rectangular over scalloped, but don't think either is better, just personal preference.

My first was a Fiskars set, and I still like them: Amazon.com: Fiskars Stamp Block Set: Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Another was a Bo Bunny set, and maybe they mated since there seem to be more than I bought.

I don't really care which brand, but I do care that they are thick - 3/4" vs 1/2". I find they're easier to hold and I make fewer mistakes b/c I don't get as much ink on my fingers to transfer to the stamped surface.

Grids are handy, but the thickness is more important to me. HTH

My very favorite aren't made anymore (I think they were called "the Clear Thing"), but since I can't get more of those, I find Stampin Up to be the next best thing. And I'm not a consultant, so I'm not biased

Stampin Up because they are thick enough to keep my fingers out of the ink and because there are grooves on all four edges.

For years my favourite has been a Making Memories one with a grid, alas I only had one of them. Recently I got one of these - Perfect Clear Acrylic Stamp Block - Medium - and I LOVE it. It's gridded, deep, easy to grip. I will be getting the other two sizes they offer, I keep meaning to go back and leave a review.

I agree that the SU ones are nice, I have two of the smaller ones (A and G sizes); but for larger ones I prefer the grid. The one I linked to is a tiny bit deeper than the SU ones.

I haven't tried these yet but I recall seeing a video on youtube about the blocks from Fun Stamper's Journey and they caught my eye - they looked just like Stampin Up's blocks but with grids! If I ever place an FSJ order, I would definitely try one first and if I liked it, order a set.

Love Stampin up blocks the best!!

SU blocks were giving me layering problems......just too thick to see thru.
I can’t layer with them, so I switched to thinner blocks and having much better success. Lawn Fawn are mostly what I have. I also bought some cheaper really thin ones to try and like those too.
With my Misti I’m not using blocks that much now though.
