Description:
Here's a chance to swap your unneeded, unmounted images for something different. UM's can be new or used, small or large, words or images. I prefer rubber and not acrylic, so that's what will be traded. Rubber images, no wood. Lay out the rubber images and send enough to cover a 51/2 X 81/2 area, When you buy this size new (1/2 sheet), It costs about $15-$20. (Try getting this many images on wood for that!) Measuring the rubbber this way seems easier to me, than deciding how many pieces to trade. If you send a frame for scrapbooking that is blank in the middle, be kind and fill up the empty space with a few small images. Blank rubber isn't cool Follow that old Golden Rule. (No! No! Not, 'Do unto others before they do unto you") The postage should be low, so let's go International. Take a look at your partners' profile. Try to send something to please them. If they are pleased by special choice OR extras, get a <3 Ask questions, and make suggestions. I'm open to all ideas. Here's the bottom line: Send enough rubber, new or used, to cover Half sheet to 2 partners.

Question: we would be swapping the images not the stamps right? Just a little confused.

darleneh710,

Image here, means the rubber that is the stamp part.

Stamped Image, is what you get when you put ink to rubber and then to paper .

This is a Rubber swap. Swap rubber with image. No stamps mounted on wood.

The images come formed on a sheet of rubber and must be cut apart with scissors before using. If you lay the different rubber pieces side by side you can see how big a sheet of rubber it took to make them.This way you can approximately trade the same size sheet. If you are unfamiliar with UnMounted stamps look at this link:

This is only one way to get the rubber to stick to the acrylic block for stamping. I use a product by Aileen's called Tack it Over and Over. This is a pressure sensitive glue which is applied to the back of the rubber and can be placed and taken off of the block easily.

Hope this helps. jB

I ended up getting the same exact stamps from both my partners so if anyone else wants to do another trade I am game :)
