Mounted or Unmounted Stamps which do you prefer?
If I'm in a hurry to use a new stamp I tape a piece of double stick tape to
an acrylic block and attach the UM to that. It works well so don't know why I bother using the EZ mount system. Some times I put a mouse pad under it but not always.

So, she had a bunch of CD cases. What she is doing is not using EZmount. She thought it was too expensive for her. She takes a piece of foam core to put in the spine of the CD case to keep the unmounted rubber stamps from falling out of the case. She when she stamps she uses temporary glue to stick the rubber stamp to her acrylic block. She then puts her paper on a foam mouse pad and does the stamping. The foam mouse pad being the replacement for the EZmount foam. I'm not convinced I like her system, but it does take up half as much space as my EZmount system. BUT my EZmount system takes up about 1/3 the room it did when it was on wooden blocks so I'm happy. Lynne "Wave Jumper" wrote in message ... I've still have some UM stamps done with the HALO system but have been converting them to the EZMount system. I donİöt understand how the CD jewel case storage works. Could you please explain that to me. SAD On 12/19/06 7:00 AM, in article , " wrote: I'll have to check that out. I've been using the HALO (Hook and Loop) system for my unmounted stamps--the acrylic blocks have strips of loop stuff embedded in the plastic, and I apply adhesive backed hook stuff to the backs of my stamps. Cutting through rubber and adhesive is hard, so anything that might make it easier would be very welcome. I then store the stamps on photo album pages that I've applied strips of loop stuff to, and have index volumes where I stamp the pictures by categories and list underneath the photo album page where it's stored. I've liked the idea of storing them in CD jewel cases though, sounds better than the photo albums I've been using, and I could keep the jewel cases arranged by category and do away with the index I keep!

The one I bought was from Joann's etc. in the wood craft section and is used for wood burning. It's made by Walnut Hollow and has several attachments included. The one I use for cutting foam is the hot knife cutting attachment. I bought the 750 degree temperature kit first but returned it for the 950 degree kit because it cuts faster. It's like cutting through butter. You can use the other tips that come with it on paper, cork, wood etc. SAD |

SAD That's how i stamp with all my unmounteds, I either use poster tape or I paint Wacky Tac on them to make them sticky enough to stay on the acrylic mount. I then store them on pages in notebooks.

It sure would save time and money to do it that way.
