Am I alone in my despise of mounting stamps?

[jdpisces]

I have had these unmounted stamps sitting on the corner of my desk waiting to be mounted and I absolutely can't stand doing this! It's so messy and sticky and I am pretty much no good at it!

Do you cut the rubber first and then mount it to the foam or do you cut both at the same time?

Hi Julie,

I sympathize with you - not one of the more enjoyable tasks when it comes to stamping. If I were you, I would mount the stamp on to the foam first and then cut.

I used to mount my rubber on foam also then cut. Then I discovered Tack N Peel and I'll never use foam again. I just slap the trimmed rubber onto my acrylic block that has Tack N Peel on it and stamp away. When I'm done I pull the rubber off, wash it in the sink and put it away. I can put twice as many stamps into a CD case without the foam. It's pricey..about $10.00 for a 4 x 6 piece but I was spending 3 times that just in EZ Mount.

I don't mount mine. I just put some double stick tape on my acrylic block and slap my rubber on there and stamp away, then peel it back off when I'm done. I do stamp on top of this purple cushin thingie that's made for stamping on.

I hate to tell you this, but I actually trim and mount SU stamps for clients who spend more than $60 in stamp sets. I also do this for first-time clients as a one-time complimentary service if their order is under $60.

The sad part is that I am so meticulous about trimming away the excess. It usually takes me a good 15 minutes to trim the easiest of the stamp sets.

I cut my rubber down then stick it onto the cling stuff then cut it again. This works for me. I gotta have the cling on stuff I don't mind it really!! Want me to come up and do all of yours??? I am sure you have some really cute stamps that are just dying to be used!!! Get them mounted!!

Actually, Sherri....yes. I would LOVE for you to come up and mount all of my stamps! You wouldn't beleive all of the stamps I have just mounted!

I haven't been feeling well again, so the doctor says I am off work until the 6th of November...so I will be around!

Another week or 2 off? That's nice . Who is doing your job while you are away?

I mounted all of Diana W's TAC stamps she brought to Greensboro. I didn't mind at al.

[jdpisces]
