Question 1

Can your dies work in the Cuttlebug?

Accepted Answer

The FRAMELIT Flip-it Dies work in the Cuttlebug and any other machine on the market that cuts wafer thin dies. Just a note, on some machines, you might need the extended (longer) cutting pads and platform for the larger dies.

Question 2

Where can I find more of the great storage sheets you use to store your stamps?

Accepted Answer

Ahh, these are popular! You can find them on our website here: Link to Storage Sheets.

Question 3

What is the difference between The Stamps of Life stamps and the clear stamps made in Asia?

Accepted Answer

Our stamps are made from yellowing resistant photopolymers and are latex free. These polymers are designed and produced for the printing industry and are meant to carry and transfer ink. {This is why they stamp so well!} The stamps from Asia are produced from vinyl or silicone based materials, and aren't designed for a quality impression. We are proud to say we use the highest quality photopolymer for our stamps and they are PROUDLY made in the USA.

Question 4

How long do photopolymer clear stamps last?

Accepted Answer

Photopolymer clear stamps can and should last a lifetime. There is no specific life span on photopolymer clear stamps, with proper use and general cleaning and care they should last as long as traditional rubber stamps.

Question 5

What is the best way to clean clear stamps?

Accepted Answer

Stephanie's favorite way is with cheap baby wipes! However, if you're an obsessive-compulsive, they do make cleaner specifically for clear stamps. Also, if for some reason your stamps start to lose their tack, you can wash them with soap and water. Never soak or let any of your stamps sit in a solvent or alcohol based cleaner, because they can break down all types of stamps. We also recommend not using solvent inks on the clear stamps.

Question 6

How do I keep my stamps sticking to the acrylic blocks?

Accepted Answer

Photopolymer clear stamps normally will stay sticky and adhere well for years to come to your blocks, if they lose their tack simply wash them with soap and water or the clear stamp cleaner. For best results, do not store your stamps on the acrylic blocks. Instead, return them to their original plastic sheets (where their other stamp friends are!) ;)

Question 7

What's a FLASH SALE?

Accepted Answer

A Flash Sale is a BRAND NEW item on SALE for 24 hours or until it sells out. These brand new items tend to sell out quickly so if you see a Flash Sale item, get it ASAP. Once we sell out (or 24 hours go by), it will go back to regular price when it comes back in stock. Sorry, no rainchecks. Please note: Flash Sale items are always on brand new items. Not old inventory.
