I just can't have enough of
them... which probably explains why we have an entire section of planner stamps on our website HERE and a wall plus a table top full of
them in our physical warehouse.
For those who are new,
planner stamps that your can choose from ranges from:
days of the week, chores, daily task icons, frames, calendars, to-do lists, and
more.
These stamps are a fun way to decorate your planner or bullet
journal as well as keep you organized and on task. Planner stamps are available
either as rubber stamps or clear stamps.
WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUBBER STAMPS AND CLEAR STAMPS
Rubber stamps are more traditional of the two stamps.
They are most often rubber based stamps mounted on wood blocks. I have a lot of
these stamps! as they were the first and standard when it comes to stamps in
the early days – before the introduction of clear stamps.
Clear stamps are acrylic stamps that are not
mounted on anything. They are sandwiched between two pieces of clear plastic
sheets to keep them clean and organized. Because the stamps aren't mounted on
anything, you need to use a mounting block in order to use them.
Mounting blocks come in various sizes and you'll need to use
a block that is larger than the stamp in order to have a clean, even stamping.
Since most planner stamps are pretty small, you won't need many of these
mounting blocks.
HOW TO USE PLANNER STAMPS
To
use rubber stamps, you'll stamp on the ink pad then on the
planner. I keep a piece of scrap paper nearby to stamp out the excess ink
before putting the stamp away.
Clear acrylic stamps are a bit more involved, but just as satisfying
to use. If you follow these simple steps, you'll keep the stamps clean and
useable for years to come.
Step 1: Select the stamp you want to use and peel it from the
film. Place it on the mounting block. It will stick and stay in place until you
peel it off.
Step 2: Stamp it lightly on the ink pad a few
times.
Step 3: Stamp it on the desired planner/bujo page.
Don't press to hard like I did or you'll end up with a smudgy stamp.
Step 4: Use a piece of scrap paper and stamp out excess ink.
Step 5: Clean both front and back of stamp with
disposable wipes or stamp cleaners.
Step 6: Place stamp back on plastic sheet.
