Which do you prefer?

jessthenurse · **Which do you prefer?**

There are so many options for stamps these days, I was wondering what everyone preferred.

Me, I like the feel of the wood block in my hand. And I think I get a much sharper image using rubber vs. acrylic. However, I have some of each. I have ALOT of wood-mounted rubber, then a handful of acrylic, and a couple handfuls of unmounted rubber.

How about you?

I like the rubber better than the acrylic most times.... (I don't have much)

And I like the acrylic blocks (Wish they were thicker they like the wooden blocks though).

I like wood mounted stamps better too. To me it seems like they leave a better impression than the acrylics. That is unless I use the Cat's Eye Fluid Chalk then they turn out pretty good.

this fluid chalk? is it chalk or ink? My M's has them. And Im confused

It is chalk ink.......

I am really not sure what to call it but it works good to me!

I'm not a very comfortable stamper because I've had such limited experience with it. From what I have done, I've had better results with wood mounted. I feel like I have better control.

I like wood in my hand too! i have some "clear stamps" but I think wooden ones stamp better.

Where's other???? I don't know yet. I haven't tried to stamp anything yet. I take that back I used one that Jess sent me on a piece of cardboard and it looked nice. That one was a wood mounted one. I have some clear ones but I haven't used them yet and I don't have a stamp cleaner.

Basically....Its an "ink pad" it looks like an ink pad you use it like an ink pad it just has ink that has a chalk appearance. So it gives the illusion that you used chalk if that makes sense. hth

Im a wood person too! I like the way the image comes out with them. The unmounted like the bellas always seem to have a little blank spot in the middle and the acrylics don't seem to hold ink well
