I started with Close to My Heart years ago. The reason that I switched to Stampin Up was for the red rubber stamps. They give you a much sharper image. The photopolymer stamps from both companies do not give me that nice sharp image. Every Stampin Up demonstrator that I have taken in person or online classes from, told me to use my piercing mat or my catalog as a cushion with their photopolymer stamps. I do like CTMH magnetic ink pads. So much easier for me to open with my arthritic hands.❤

Me is always thold ,the red rubber stamps have a cushion from there own. And the photopolymere stamps haven't. Thats why they need a cushion! I was thinking to give you those tip for a soort of help.
@marliesvanaert538710 күн бұрын
The stampinup photopolymerstamps need also a cushion to get a nice impression! The red rubberstamps not !
@amymcgrew459010 күн бұрын
That’s interesting! I was told they didn’t and I get a better impression without the cushion than when I was using the cushion. Maybe it was something to do with the stamper?
