Love these! For large stamps, sometimes if you put it face up, ink it and gently lay the cardstock over the stamp, you can use your fingers to get complete coverage. I’d try that before completely giving up on it. I have several sizes of the mats from Waffle Flower. Basically, they are a photo polymer stamp. Works so well and easy clean up. I use my silicone mat when I use paint or glue because they don’t stick on the silicone. I don’t know if you can get cardstock to stick. Another tip: when inking a stamp with multiple colors, start with lightest and go from there. This will reduce cross contamination. 😉.

Cardstock and stencils are meant to completely stick to the grid mats. You really only need half the large size of the sticky mat. I still have old Cricut mats cut down to size in my MISTI and other platforms as they’re different sizes. Another way to use a small sticky mat is line up your inks to your right side and use the inks to blend and pop the tops back on when you’re finished. That way you don’t lose time removing the lids, picking them up, etc. Hope these tips are helpful-I’m just passing on trial-and-error ideas!

I was also told that you always must season your stamps before using or you just won’t get a clear image right away. Either rub your finger over entire thing or use eraser. Another way is stamp with versamark, stamp, clean then use your ink! Might work for you!

I solve this problem by using a larger piece of cardstock with tape, cut down after stamping and use the scraps for white die cuts or small sentiment stamping. I have never gotten cardstock to stay in place on my MISTI! I have used the Altenew stamping platform that can be rotated and that works wonderfully.

Marion, there’s a very old Stamp trick from more than 25 years ago. If you cannot get a stamp in this case, the large stamp to stamp the image evenly and it’s light in some areas we used to sit a catalog underneath whatever substrate or paper we were stamping on and by using an old catalog, it would stamp the image perfectly so it’s kind of like adding a stiff sponge so that it will, take the image as improperly as it is better on a giving surface better than a hard surface so you could try that stamp that large stamp that you have that doesn’t stamp evenly and you could try to stamp that on top of something like a large catalog or something that gives and you could put that silicone mat right on top of a catalog or something but something not a hardcover book you want something that’s going to give and you can try that stamp that way and you will probably get it to work

Sometimes with the larger stamps a bubble can form between the stamp and the surface it’s mounted on! Also maybe try placing the stamp on a flat surface up, then ink your stamp your paper on the inked stamp and burnish on the paper! I hope it works for your stamps!

Oh Marion, you are a ‘hoot’🎉 I just wanted to share with you that I also have experienced the problem of a stamp not stamping well inside a stamping tool when on different surfaces. My craft desk is very sturdy and doesn’t have any give to it. But while at a crop my stamps didn’t work well because of the table I was on. Many facilities supply nice folding tables but they often are not very flat and can cause major issues during stamping. I was lucky because I had used the stamp previously and it worked well. I now will test them on a kitchen counter or very study surface. Happy crafting!😊

I also thought about a silicone mat, but was concerned it would be too thick. I wondered if maybe they didn't go with a silicone mat because that might be too similar to altenew's stamp wheel?! That's also part of the reason why I haven't ordered this setup just yet. I feel like it's close to being a great thing, but I believe that they may make changes to it... Much like Misti has been tweaked over the years. I even told Bill about my crazy 🤪 ideas. I really like the idea of the spin attachment, but don't really need the stamping setup. I keep hoping they'll just sell the stamp and spin bit. 🤷🤞🤞🤞 That was fun! Thanks for trying all of the different things. Love it!!! ❤️

On these large Altenew stamps they tend to get air bubbles when being picked up by your stamping platform door. Try putting the stamp on the platform & and taping your cardstock to the platform door & see if it stamps. Picket Fence studios has a thin sticky mat that might work with that platform you are using. You don’t want to go too thick or it will wear your door hinge area & warp your door eventually I love your experiment videos💜💜

Just be careful not to move your paper. I just through of something else that might work.

I managed to get some stamps to work fully/better by placing padding under the piece im stamping on. Padding = layers of paper, or a tablet, and letting it sit a bit longer. Those are beautiful stamps arent they? Its interesting that a silicone mat would hold paper down, as silicone mats are meant to release whats on them. I have one i picked up from temu, that does have two different textures on either side. I thought the one would hold it in place more, but after a year it doesnt. Perhaps time changes the composition of it? like oxidizing metals? I dont use that stamping device, in fact i havent seen it before, however, i have a suggestion. Get a bottle of aileenes tack it over and over glue. I use it for the mat on my electric cutter machine. you can apply a thin coat, let it dry to the tacky stage. I also use it on stamps that wont stick any longer. When it stops working, take a paper towel sprayed with some 70% alcohol and lighting rub over the surface and it will be tacky again. Works on the stamps too. Its worth a try as the bottle goes a long way. You can also make your own tacky dots of various sizes on wax paper, or parchment etc. I used to use it years ago, like the 90's? to put on the back of fabric painted designs and then attach them to my blouses. I used to teach watercolor on fabric painting classes once a week, and would just put them on the same T each week, as it saved me the cost of one T each week, always painting on a T for the class.

M, on the Tim Holtz version of the platform, the lid reverses to stamp thicker rubber stamps, which is the side I use with my Altenew mat. Does the lid on this platform allow for that? The Tim Holtz version has a label on each side indicating which side you are using and I couldn’t find any info on this platform to say it reverses to accommodate rubber and clear stamps, or tell from the pictures if it is labeled. Your card is lovely and I enjoyed this experiment video. TFS!

Ohhh didn’t think of that, they’re be a bit of give in it, just sure I have a big enough one 🤔🤔🥰🥰🥰

The silicone mats are “messy mats” I think🤔

Do you prefer this stamping platform over the wheel?

@marionemberson

I actually like them both, I prefer that the overall size of the stamp wheel is smaller, but I prefer that I can control how much I can turn the wheel, I hope that makes sense 🥰🥰🥰

Hi, I’ve linked it in the video description 🥰🥰🥰

I fell in love with that leaf stamp, looked at the whole collection and further fell in love with 2 more stamps from the collection. But I can't get it. For some ridiculous reason Sizzix uk doesn't ship to Europe. And other sellers I found don't have the whole collection and can only provide me with 1 of the 3 stamps I want. It's driving me crazy. I guess you can say I really love the cards. 😂

Fabulous results! I love the flower…too bad it's not available ( or is that good for me that I can't buy it). Why don't you try using the Scrapbook stencil first and then try stamping over it. The missing parts might not be so noticeable. Keep up with your cunning plans. You make them work out in the end and give us a few giggles along the way. 🩵🧡💜
