Whoever invented clear stamps is BRILLIANT! I love stamping with Stampin’ Up!’s photopolymer stamps. Put the stamp on your clear block, ink it up and stamp your image straight every time!
Here’s how Stampin’ Up! describes their photopolymer stamps: “Our top-quality photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent for perfect image placement, and they adhere well to our clear blocks. They’re flexible and easy to line up, giving you even more creative possibilities with each set. You can mix and match, bend, and layer images easily. You’ll only need one set of blocks for all your photopolymer stamps (blocks sold separately). ”
It’s great to be able to bend the stamp so that you can curve a straight line. On this card that I made using the Pick a Pennant stamp set my banners are fairly straight which works on this card. But the beauty of the stamp set is that I could have easily curved the banners if I had wanted to. Talk about versatile! 🙂
In this stamp set, the little banner pieces are separate from the “string” and the decorations for the banner are separate pieces too. With my photopolymer stamp set though it was SO easy to line everything up because I could see right through the stamp, even when it was inked up.
Photopolymer stamps are jumping to the top of my favorites list. They stick to the blocks, you can see through them to line things up and the work perfectly with the Stamparatus!
So, after reading about all three types of Stampin’ Up! stamps, which are your favorite? Leave me a comment and let me know.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
