Another project done

Anyone reading this post that is not a stamper or a paper crafter is probably going to think I am nuts.  Well I may be but that has nothing to do with stamping! There are two styles of stamps, mounted and unmounted.  both have their pros and cons.  I own, use and enjoy both styles.   But I stamp for pleasure and for work. and when I stamp for work I need to make sure my images are clear clean and perfect.  Unfortunately that can be hard to do when you are using a wood mounded stamp, especially if you are making a batch of 50.  The likelihood of  getting 50 straight images perfectly stamped, inked and lined up perfectly the first time is just about impossible.  There is a tool that I think is worth it's weight in gold for repetitive stamps, It is the Misti Tool ( I am not supported by the company - it is just a very good tool).  By using cling mount stamps and the Misti I can stamp card after card after card.

This also leaves me with a task of getting a whole lot of stamps off their blocks, indexed and cataloged.   I can't use these stamps if I don't know what I have or where they are

I have 5 trays of these

I've been putting this off for months

I brought the stamps and storage materials into the living room last night and started

It took 8 hours:

I've got my sentiments  cataloged.

The scriptures are all in another system nad thankfully done!

I still enjoy My wood stamps and find them inspiring.

A few years ago I unmounted about 2,000 wood stamps to save space and make them easier to use but I sure missed them on their beautiful printed blocks.  

I didn't do all of them - I haven't decided if that was a good or a bad thing!

Thanks for stopping by!
