Using Clear Mount Stamps

Part of the large order that I received included nine sets of clear mount stamps. I wasn't sure if I would like these or not but my upline Carolyn assured that they are wonderful. All the stamps in the Occasions Mini and the Sale-A-Bration brochure are available as either wood mount or clear mount. I opted to order the clear mount on every stamp set that I could. Now that I've used these stamps I absolutely love them. I've even ordered another one. I think from now on I will only order the clear mount option.

They come in these great DVD style cases.



I was most excited about these because they take up so much less space than the regular stamp sets. Here's a comparison of a stack of 9 wood mount stamp sets along side my stack of 9 clear mount stamp sets.


Look how nicely they fit on my stamping bookcase.



They have labels that stick to the foam.


They mount on the acrylic blocks.


This way you can see what you are stamping. What a great option.



Now the question is whether to unmount all my current wood mounted stamp sets. It's a tempting option for the storage savings but it would be quite a job. I'm currently researching the options available.

If you haven't tried the clear mount stamps I encourage you to try them. I love them!

I'm in love!!!! Awesome for so many reasons:

1. Sleeker storage.
2. You can see what each stamp is on the spine.
3. Looks so much cuter on the shelf.
4. You can see what you're stamping through the acrylic block.

Wow! They've done a great job with these! The DVD storage idea is genius.

I like clear for positioning the stamp! I had heard of DVD case storage. Thanks for demo!
