Hello again macma :hello:

You can use the insert image button but you have to have your piccie hosted somewhere online. Shout if you need more info.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Scrapmate.

We are not supposed to promote our blogs and websites here on MSE, so you cannot post a link in either your post or your signature.

You are however allowed to link to your homepage in your profile. So if you click on my username, you will see a link to

"Visit thriftyscotslass's homepage!"

If you click on that, that will take you to my b***

Guys, not been on here for ages, your cards are all simply beautiful, going to read back the thread later for some inspiration. In the meantime I am hoping some of you lovely people can help. I have been fortunate to be given some lovely 'Lily of the Valley' stamps, you know the ones that do not have a block attached. I do have some acrylic blocks but what do I use to stick the stamps to the block? I don't want a permanent adhesive, something that I can use and still be able to remove the stamp from the block when finished my project. Any ideas? I have looked on line but am at a loss. Thanks so much. Cait

You could use Ez-mount which has an adhesive side to stick to stamp and a cling side to cling to acrylic block or just use a repositionable adhesive like a zig 2 way glue pen. Wait for the adhesive to go clear before you stick it to the block and it should peel off again.

Thank you so much for that, going online now to find it. Cail

I use a Pritt Stick. You just wipe the Pritt Stick over the back side of your stamp and then press it onto your chosen Acrylic block. You don't have to use tons, you really do just wipe/swipe it over the back of the stamp. Clean up is easy - I personally use a baby wipe (choose baby wipes that don't have any alcohol in them, look at the 'ingredients' listed on the baby wipes) as these are kinder to your stamps, and great at shifting the sticky stuff off the acrylic block. I have a green glue stick, simply because the colour stands out and I can find it easily - but you could use any colour you like.

BUT .. remember to remove the stamp right after using, as if you leave it attached to the block, it might just stick to it in ways that you don't want it to. (eeek!)

Yes I use Pritt stick too. One day when I have won the lottery (which I don't do) I will buy EZ Mount for my stamps but until then Pritt will have to do.
