Best Tips for NEW Cling Stamps Video
Cling Stamps Details
Cling stamps were first introduced in Japan beginning with their 2018-2019 annual catalog. The new stamp line has been a smashing success. We are excited to offer cling stamps in all other markets beginning with the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure. During the transition, be sure to view product details carefully both in publications (each stamp type is identified with an icon) and when placing orders to note the stamp medium.
- Beginning with the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, all new stamp sets will be available either in cling stamps (for red rubber stamps) or photopolymer.
- Stamps in the 2018-2019 annual catalog will continue to be available in clear-mount, wood-mount, or photopolymer.
- Red rubber stamp sets (clear-mount or wood-mount) in the annual catalog that will be carrying over will transition to cling with the 2019-2020 annual catalog.
- In 2019-2020 annual catalog, clear-mount and wood-mount stamps* will no longer be available. The only exception is background stamps in the United States only, which will still be available in wood-mount.
- *Wood-mount stamp set sales have been steadily declining for several years. Stampin’ Up! research and sales teams took this and several other factors into consideration before discontinuing wood-mount stamps. We are confident the transition to cling stamps will be beneficial to you.
Labeling Cling Stamps
Labeling cling stamps is a slightly different process than you may be used to. It is important to follow the steps below to assemble cling stamps. Each cling stamp case will also include labeling instructions.
Note: Once you place the label on the stamp, it is adhered permanently.Attempting to remove or adjust the label will damage the stamp’s foam.
- Remove the paper backing from the label.
- Remove your selected stamp from the rubber sheet and remove the paper backing from the stamp.
- Line up the foam side of the stamp with the image label, then press it evenly to adhere it to the label. Make sure it is correctly positioned before you adhere it to the stamp.
- Remove the stamp and its newly-affixed image label from the label sheet.
- Place the stamp on an acrylic block to begin stamping.
Best Practices for Cling Stamps
To remove the stamp from the block, grasp securely near the image label and remove slowly. (Cling stamps stick so well that if they are not carefully removed from the block, the foam can tear.) To clean the labels, simply rinse under running water. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners and baby wipes.

Hi Dae! I’m so glad you’ve found my blog and enjoy what you see. Thank you! I’d be happy to send you the current catalogs. With the Christmas holiday I’m certain the mailing will be delayed but they will go out tomorrow to you. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Lisa, for the great video and tips on storing the stamps and using the extra sticky material! Your videos are always very precise and informative. Merry Christmas!
I’m so glad you like and how I share, Cindy. Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Lisa, for your tip on using the “left over” cling sheets to convert the clear mount to cling mount. I will definitely be doing this. Thanks too, for continuing to share your talents with us.
Hi Mary! Even small leftover cling works well on larger stamps. It’s that sticky! Add a few strips to the image and you’ll be good. I love sharing and I’m so happy to read that you find what I share helpful. Happy New Year!
