Stampin Up new cling stamps are finally here!

Beginning with the 2019 occasions catalogue and Sale-a-Bration brochure, all new stamp sets will be available either in cling (for red rubber stamps) or photopolymer.

Stamps in the 2018-2019 annual catalogue will continue to be available in clear-mount, wood-mount or photopolymer.

Red rubber stamp sets (clear-mount or wood-mount) in the annual catalogue that will be carrying over will transition to cling with the 2019-2020 annual catalogue. So that means, in the 2019-2020 annual catalogue, clear-mount and wood-mount stamps will no longer be available.

Labelling cling stamps is a slightly different process than you may be used to. Please note: Once you place the label on the cling stamp, it is adhered permanently. Attempting to remove or adjust the label will damage the foam of the stamp. Each cling stamp case will also include labelling instructions.

It is important to follow the steps below to assemble cling stamps.

• Remove the paper backing from the label.
• Remove your selected stamp from the rubber sheet and remove the paper backing from the stamp.
• Line up the foam side of the stamp with the image label, then press it evenly to adhere it to the label. Make sure it is correctly positioned before you adhere it to the stamp.
• Remove the stamp and its newly-affixed image label from the label sheet.
• Place the stamp on an acrylic block to begin stamping. 

To remove the stamp from the block, grasp securely near the image label and remove slowly. Cling stamps stick so well that if they are not carefully removed from the block, the foam can tear.

To clean the labels, simply rinse under running water. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners.
