Clear-Mount trick and buttons…

Today I wanted to show you a little trick that I’ve learnt before I went to convention. But I didn’t have time to blog about it. I think I told the Monday Stamp club because that was the day I tried it out. But I also wanted to share with all of you!

We all have sometimes a little bit of a hard time to keep those little clear-mount stamps stuck on the clear block, right?!

So I went the bold way and started to use our awesome “Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive”. Don’t get scared! You see, this adhesive is like a two-way glue. If you stick it to something while still wet, it’s permanent. BUT if you let the adhesive dry before sticking it to something, then it is repositionable!

So I just put a small amount on the sticker back of my stamp:

Then I let it dry completely:

Can you see that the glue changed from being white to see-through?!

Then you can just stick it onto your block:

And it WILL stick great, but you can remove it too. I just put some adhesive in the center to help it stick better. And If you want to clean it off, you can just rub it off or use some dish soap.

Since that all wasn’t something “pretty” to look at, I am also going to share a photo from convention.

It’s all about the buttons and how you can dress them up. Here is a shot of the display board:

So, pull out your buttons and decorate them before adding them to a project. I will have to give it a try too!
