Have lots of wood block rubber stamps and was looking for a way to make them cling, Found your video---YAY!!!! Best one I found. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this informative video and now I'm off to unmount some stamps. THANKS again.
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your tips! I was one of the ones who requested it on your estate haul video and am very grateful you took your viewers' requests into consideration 😊 I feel like a whole new world of thrifted stamps is open to me now! Thanks again 💕
Great video! Thanks for some great tips. I have started doing this with my wood mounts . Anyway, after i removed them from the wood, didn’t know what to do with them. So I laminated a laminate sheet to itself, then did another on top of it. (It provided good sturdy carrier sheet that way.). It makes a great surface for them to stick to. I separate by themes and place them in bins that hold 8.5 x 11 paper. I place a piece of cheap paper between each laminated carrier so I can see the stamps better and they don’t stick to each other accidentally laying on one another in the bin. It really works well
I have been looking for a long time on how to convert my alphabet rubber stamps to the cling mount stamps. I looked around in my craft arsenal and I have oracal vinyl and rubber cement. Also, the alphabet letters have just a painted image of the letter on top of the wood, so I will be using the oracal vinyl for each letter. Thank you so much for sharing all of your tips and trials. Every time, I look into making the conversion to cling mount stamps... it's just so expensive that I decide not to do it. I just subbed to your channel and can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Thank you! I still have some to be converted, but what I've done so far has worked out nicely. Sometimes a stamped image on the Oracal begins to come off, but I haven't found that to be an issue. Have fun!
Thank you for showing us an affordable option to change up the wood block stamps. I recently found your channel and am impressed by your fun content, frugal tips and telling us to use what we have! ♥️ Definitely subscribing and now I’m going to binge watch some of your previous tutorials. 😀
Shoe goo was the first thing i thought of because i knew it would have to be a flexible hold and adhere to rubber. Rubber cement is meant ro be a temporary hold, and doesn't always last, even if it works at first. Also, the vinyl is called oraCAL. Not oracle. Thanks for taking the time to experiment and share.
A thought to use for any stamps that need the remade image - heavier sticker paper might work. Haven’t tried yet but that will be something I do if needed for the stamps I’d like to change over to cling.
I have wondered how people do this for quite sometime Also have seen sites that sell rubber stamps that are unmounted and wondered how you are supposed to mount them Many of them are ones I would have liked to have but I was perplexed at how to mount them Obviously there had to be a way So thank you for this video Very helpful
You’re very welcome! You can use unmounted stamps by applying a glue like stick & re-stick or Tack it over and over to the back of the rubber. Then you can use a block or stamping platform to do your stamping. If you choose to use them unmounted, then I highly suggest stamping on top of a foam stamping mat or mouse pad to provide cushion. You can reapply those glues as needed. 😊
This video is awesome. Aleene's Stick and Restick is just what I need. I bought a bunch of foam-backed rubber stamps years ago from the company that was called So Suzy Stamps. They're made so the backs won't stick to anything, which has been very annoying for me. Problem Solved. Thank you.
Hello Wendy. I just found your channel today. I am binge watching. Where have you been all of my life?! You are so creative and I appreciate all the tips to create affordably! ❤️🫶🏽❤️🥰❤️💕…

Hi Wendy, I just saw your video on how to make cling stamps out of wooden ones, thank you, thank you. I also cant afford the crafters companion sheets, so I loved your idea. Got my glue, got my foam from Walmart that ive had for a long time, now they have a purpose. And got the permanet vinyl. Let you know how they turned out. TFS😊😊😊😊
So lovely to have a clear simple video that is going to be very useful to me. I have subscribed and look foward to your money saving tips. Keep up the good work. From Dorset, England.
March 11 330 central standard time. Now that I have all of my stickers mounted to the back of my stamp then do I use stick and stick so that they will be tacky for my clear block? I’ve watched your video 100 times and thought you had told that but I can’t find it, could you just answer that one question your videos are amazing. Thank you, Jean.
@@villagecardandcrafts - so I can use this same technique for stamps that has lost it's cling properties, correct? I don't have to replace the foam or anything, just add the glue and let dry? Thank you so much for such a wonderful video! 🎉
Great video, very useful thank you. I have some of those roller stamps and will try your technique. I’ve taken off the roller and just need the foam. They have the added benefit of being rectangular, so easy to deal with. At the beginning of the video you did say you would. Show us how we can reuse the wood blocks. Will you do a video on that? I’ve just subscribed!😊
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and subscribing! I’ll do some thinking about those wood blocks and add it to my list of video options! I appreciate the suggestion. I can best serve others when I know what they would like to learn. ❤️
Will Gorrilla glue work? Also, will regular foam work that does not have the adhesive? If so, what are any extra steps you need to do for using non-adhesive foam?
Hi! I would not recommend Gorilla glue for a few reasons. When I’ve used it, I noticed it expands quite a bit. For that reason alone, I wouldn’t use it as an adhesive to mount the foam to the stamp. Regular foam should work. You would just need adhesive that would mount the foam to the rubber (like E6000) and then a repositionable glue for the top of the foam. I hope that answers your questions.
Hi Wendy tank you for a great video. I am just curious if you tried it without mounting to new foam. Could it be used just like a silicone stamp in a stamping platform with the pad underneath. Also with the ones with the foam still attached if you use a stamping platform , do you remove the mat and use like a rubber stamp or do you keep it in. . I generally use a platform. Thank you for all your help
In my experience, removing the foam leaves a bumpy, hard rubber beneath. It doesn’t hold temp adhesive very well either. You could certainly try it to see your results, but for me it just wasn’t an option. If there is foam, you always remove the mat from the stamping platform. Good luck! 😊
Hello! Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you! Yes, I do apply a repositionable glue to the top of the sticker so it clings to my block or to the lid of my stamping platform. If you rewatch the video, I talk about this around 4:30 mark. Thanks for watching!
I haven’t tried contact paper. The only reason I didn’t try it was because mine was clear and so didn’t think I could see the stamped image in it. If you try it, let me know how it worked!
I have some clear stamps that are still on the plastic… never been peeled. I can’t pull them off. I don’t want to force them off. I’m afraid I’ll damage them. How do I peel them off? I hope you understand what I’m saying here.😊
Hello! Yes I totally understand. I’d try running the whole sheet under hot water first to attempt to loosen it. If that doesn’t work, I’d treat it just like a red stamp. I’d leave it on the acetate and trim as close to the stamp as I could. Then I’d use Stick & Restick on the acetate. Once dry, it will be able to be used on a block or in a platform. Sometimes, the acetate bonds to the stamp permanently. Forcing it may tear the stamp, so I’d use it like an unmounted red rubber stamp. I hope this helps! 😊
I decided some time ago, after removing CLEAR S I L I C O N E stamps from the cover sheets - after which they would stick to NOTHING (!!; not EVEN the sheet they came off of!!) - that I would never again even try to take them off. Instead, I cut the sheet, with the stamp still attached, and, in my case, either use TEMPORARY tape runner on the sheet and then stick the stamp to my Stamperatus to use, OR I use the 6” x 6” silicone “cover sticker (?)” once sold by a company that had the word “Onion” in its name. (In essence, it, too, is just a supersized silicone “stamp”, kinda like “gel plates”.)
Baby oil on the cap of E6000 after use helps to keep it from gluing onto the tube. I'm considering trying Cling plastic that's made to create window clings. I have numerous unmounted rubber stamps that have no image nor cling material and I think I could stamp with Staz-on on the cling plastic and glue the cling material to the unmounted rubber stamp, then cut the excess material off. Do you think it could work?
Someone else suggested Vaseline and that works wonders! Let me know if you try cling mount. I don’t know why it wouldn’t work though. I looked into that but used what I had to make it work.
Hey, kcinca … Did you try the Cling / StazOn / Rubber Stamp process?? I, too, had purchased the Cling for this purpose, but then, also, bought the EzMount Static Cling FOAM! At that point I was in a quandary as to which one to use, so the demounting / re-doing project got left parked in a corner!! 🤔 ☹️ 😭 ☹️‼️
@@villagecardandcrafts I w i l l take your advice … probably after the holidays. I’ve been working on documenting my embossing folders - ALL 90+ of them!! I had the mistaken idea that in 2 afternoons, m a x !, I’d be able to get them all labeled, iPad photoed and cropped. H A !! Fooled me! Anyway, … after the holidays …
Hello. I’ve never seen felt on the back of the rubber stamp. It may be the remains of the foam that backs the rubber has come off chunky. Does that sound about right?
Yes it can be salvaged. You will either need to attempt to remove as much of the foam as you can by scrubbing it (it will be formidable) or snipping it carefully. You can use a flat spatula to try to release it as well. Then you will have to replace the foam. If the foam is still pretty thick on the stamp, as mine are, then I chose to use the vinyl over it to create a new surface to cling.
Hi. I have donated most of my rubber stamps but there are a few that I won’t part with. I have removed many of them from their wood blocks but it never occurred to me to salvage the sticker! Thanks for that tip, I will attempt it with the rest of my wood mounted stamps.
Correction: you said you can use rubber cement. You meant contact cement. I accidentally bought "rubber cement" thinking it was the usual contact cement I usually bought repackaged. I bought it to fix my shoes actually. I went to use it for adhering a magnet to chipboard and it wasn't very sticky and I look closer at the bottle wondering what the heck is wrong with it...its a temp adhesive for photos or papers. Well, at least I found a new crafting tool. You can make your own masks with it and use it for resist techniques. The strength is milder than Tack it Over and Over that you also featured in the video.
TWO QUESTIONS, PLEASE … (1) Has someone else seen a comment on a y.t. video that talks about refurbishing red rubber stamps incorporating a product used on the rollers of off-set printers?? I’m looking for its name, so I can go check it out. (2) Does anyone have a bottle of MyFavoriteThings StazOn STAMP CLEANER?? I’d be v e r y interested, as someone has mentioned on y.t. that they had inadvertently left some red rubber stamps in some of THAT brand of solution, and that it had actually revitalized the stamps. I’d really, R E A L L Y, like to know what’s IN the stuff, as MFT’s doesn’t do that product anymore, and I want to check it out.
Hello. The product you may be inquiring about is called Rubber Renue. There is also InviZguard rubber roller rejuvenator. I have zero experience with either. I found both on Amazon. If you do try them, please come back and let me know what you discovered. I use an overnight bath in glycerin to help rejuvenate older red rubber stamps.
@@villagecardandcrafts Wendy, you said you use Glycerin … Is the brand you use something “special”? I’ve tried storing s o m e of my “non-preferred” oldies with a light c o a t i n g of the generic drugstore Glycerin, but it didn’t seem to affect them one way or the other. (Still haven’t gotten in gear to pursue the rubber rejuvenator 😔. Hoping something cheap & readily available works? Ya, probably…)
@kkrolf2782 no I used Walmarts version. Nothing special. Honestly, it didn’t work well for those that were seriously dried up. I ended up tossing those. It seemed to help others that weren’t in such bad shape. However glycerin is glycerin as long as it’s vegetable based. You really won’t find a difference. I think I used a cup of warm water to 2 tablespoons of glycerin. I soaked them in a glass baking dish over night.
@@villagecardandcrafts Thx bunches for the speedy response, Wendy!! My experiment was using full strength generic version, so I guess after the holidays i’ll go looking for the Renue. Thx again, dear Lady!

(2) Does anyone have a bottle of MyFavoriteThings StazOn STAMP CLEANER?? I’d be v e r y interested, as someone has mentioned on y.t. that they had inadvertently left some red rubber stamps in some of THAT brand of solution, and that it had actually revitalized the stamps. I’d really, R E A L L Y, like to know what’s IN the stuff, as MFT’s doesn’t do that product anymore, and I want to check it out.
Hello. The product you may be inquiring about is called Rubber Renue. There is also InviZguard rubber roller rejuvenator. I have zero experience with either. I found both on Amazon. If you do try them, please come back and let me know what you discovered. I use an overnight bath in glycerin to help rejuvenate older red rubber stamps.
@@villagecardandcrafts Wendy, you said you use Glycerin … Is the brand you use something “special”? I’ve tried storing s o m e of my “non-preferred” oldies with a light c o a t i n g of the generic drugstore Glycerin, but it didn’t seem to affect them one way or the other. (Still haven’t gotten in gear to pursue the rubber rejuvenator 😔. Hoping something cheap & readily available works? Ya, probably…)
@kkrolf2782 no I used Walmarts version. Nothing special. Honestly, it didn’t work well for those that were seriously dried up. I ended up tossing those. It seemed to help others that weren’t in such bad shape. However glycerin is glycerin as long as it’s vegetable based. You really won’t find a difference. I think I used a cup of warm water to 2 tablespoons of glycerin. I soaked them in a glass baking dish over night.
@@villagecardandcrafts Thx bunches for the speedy response, Wendy!! My experiment was using full strength generic version, so I guess after the holidays i’ll go looking for the Renue. Thx again, dear Lady!
@kkrolf2782 you’re very welcome!
