FAQ
How do the different Acrylic Blocks work with my stamps? We offer several sizes of Clear Acrylic Blocks designed for use with clear photopolymer or cling rubber stamps. Because the blocks are transparent, they allow for precise positioning, you can see exactly where you are stamping on your card or scrapbook page.
What are the benefits of using a "Self-Healing Mat" or "Craft Mat"?
- Self-Healing Mat: Specifically designed for use with craft knives. The surface "heals" after cuts, protecting your tabletop and keeping your blade sharp.
- Craft Mat: A non-stick, heat-resistant surface ideal for messy techniques like ink blending, gluing, or using a heat gun.
Which tools help with precision glue application? For detailed designs, we recommend the Fine Tip Glue Applicators or the Precision Glue Press. These tools allow you to apply tiny amounts of adhesive to intricate pieces without creating a mess or warping your paper.
What tools are best for ink blending and stenciling?
- Blending Brushes: These come in a set with different sized brushes. They are perfect for applying ink pads to the edges of papers or die-cuts to make a colored border.
- Blending Tools: These are a wooden handle and come with replaceable sponges for smooth ink application over stencils or card edges.
- Pixie Stencil Spray: A light, repositionable adhesive that holds your stencil flat against your paper to prevent ink from bleeding underneath.
- Paper Pouncer: A specialized tool for "pouncing" ink directly onto stamps or through stencils for a unique textured effect.
Do you carry replacement parts for trimmers and die cutting machines? Yes. To ensure your tools last a lifetime, we stock replacement blades for Tim Holtz and Pink Craft trimmers, as well as various Cutting Plates, Magnetic Shims, and Adapters to keep your die cutting machine performing perfectly.
