Aloha All... Happy Thursday!!! 1st, I'd like to apologize for posting so late in the day. I have been planning on my TAC Open House which is going to happen in 2 weeks, and my gathering for my Spice Angels which is happening this weekend. How exciting!!! So many events coming up, and project ideas are coming out of my eyes....which I can't wait to share them with you as well....Well, this weekend - I decided to take lil' break in between all the projects I've been creating, and I thought I'd hit the stack of Stampin' Up! stamps and convert them over to my Creative Cling foams. But before I can mount
them to Creative Cling - I need to remove them all.... thus after removing the wood from the stamp - I stuck all of the rubbah into a little bag, and weighed the bag.... 3-1/2 pounds of rubbah!! Have you seen such a thing?!?!?! I also took a picture of the rubbahs out of the bag.... as you can see, some of them are still attached in it's "just received" form. Yep - I've still got quite a ways to go with these. I am mounting them on to the creative cling foams on a "as needed" basis. Therefore - shall I need to use one of them, I will then mount them. While trying to remove these off of the wood, I have acquired a special
technique.... so, I created a little video here to share with you. When you watch it - you will see what I mean. It sure helps to have these faux nails... enjoy!!! Oh yea - I have music playing in the video, so turn your speakers down if you must. 
Must admit did not watch your video, I put mine in the microwave for about 3 to 5 seconds per stamp, if you put in a bunch of stamps just add more seconds, it works great. Take car and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteso what did you do with all the wood? I buy tons of mounted (and leave them that way) and just as many UM-but I like to put my smaller phrases and tiny images on wood and keep in a wire basket. I bought some wood 3 years ago and wanted hubby to cut it up for me (I am not allowed to use power tools-so many trips for stitches and I am suprised they still give me scissors)
ReplyDeleteThat was great. I need to do that with all my stamps. NEED THE SPACE...lol
ReplyDeleteGreat video, Jen, and I especially enjoyed the Mozart sonata.
ReplyDeleteI also would like a tute on what to do with the wood blocks!!....hmmmm ...never mind...my head is already spinning!!....LOVE your nails...but, where's the pretty artwork painted on them??....lol!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! Will you do a follow-up on how you mount them to the cling foam? I'm considering unmounting all of mine and don't know the difference between ezmount, cling foam, etc. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOK, that's a lot of rubber!
ReplyDeleteI take the rubber off the foam and use Tack N Peel by Tsukineko on the acrylic blocks for the cushion. Works wonderfully! Forget the EZ mount cling foam! Store the unmounted stamps in CD cases. Sure beats that icky, sticky cling cushion!
ReplyDeletegood luck!
That sure is a lot of Rubbah!
ReplyDeleteCute video..did you zap them in the micro first?
I can't believe how fast these stamps sets build up [ and take up space]
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteOh an itsy bitty question you forgot about me?? ;)
TGIF!!!

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!!!!!! I don't know if you have seen this product or not, but Sunday International sells the new THIN EZ mount. It is the best thing since sliced bread!!! I now use this for all my new Stampin' Up sets that I buy. No more wood! You just mount the thick sticky foam that the Stampin' Up stamps come on onto the THIN EZ Mount and now you have the cling of EZ mount. Here is the link: www.sundayint.com
ReplyDeleteHoly! That's a lot of rubbah but ooh, they look so fun! LOL! I've been unmounting my stuff too! My stamps are taking over the house! Thanks for the tutorial! Great job. . .it sure is useful!
ReplyDeleteMaria
Jen; I really liked your tutorial video on how to take the rubbah off, however I find that this might be rather expensive for those who do not get their nails done professionally - please advise! LOL Just kiddin. Great video!
ReplyDeleteWanna come unmount mine for me?! I'd have so much more room if I had the ambition to unmount them and put them in my binders.
ReplyDeleteWow...those are a lot of stamps Jen! Just think of all the space these stamps took up. *shudder* lol
ReplyDeleteNow you have tons of extra space and your nails look awesome!
