Clear mount blocks are good for much more than mounting stamps! I just couldn’t help it… just before I put my clear mount blocks away in my stampin’ studio… it came to me: Why not stamp with them? That was just the beginning… and I now have a new appreciation for my Clear Mount Stamps and Blocks!
First, you’ll need to gather your supplies:
- Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Clear Mount Acrylic Blocks
- Cardstock
Whew… what a list!!
And here you go:
Ink up your clear mount acrylic block with classic ink… and then stamp on your cardstock!
And you’ve got a stamped image!!
Really quick, Clean and Simple… FOUR cards using the Paradise Stamp Set and my clear mount blocks as stamps!
The first one uses different block sizes…
A second one using a smaller block and the new yummy Crumb Cake Classic ink to stamp the background for the leaf image.
A third card using the same quick and easy clear block technique:
And one more… using the long, narrow clear mount block and “I’m so glad it’s back” River Rock Classic Ink
So.. hey, imagine the possibilities… Clear Mount Acrylic Blocks… they’re not just for stamp mounts… they’re for stamping too!
Hugs,

I love stamping with my blocks - makes a great background stamp as you have shown in your lovely examples!! One thing I remember to do is then wash my blocks with dish soap so that residue comes off and I am to retain the cling on my stamps.
very neat! TFS!
Oh, my gosh! This is the coolest thing ever!!! I never would have thought to do that! Great idea! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I have never seen anything like this.. it's brilliant!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity! Hugs, Christina
Yeah! I was right - LOL! Great idea - it always helps to have multi uses for them to help upsell them and it looks great - adds so much to the card. Definitely an idea to case. TFS!

Fantastic! And...I used your quarter sheet tutorial with Raspberry Lemonade paper (the one showing on your site turned over!) with Pretty in Pink and Crushed Curry cardstock and ink. They came out sooo nice! Thank you for sharing. I am sure to try this too!
What a great idea, TFS.
