  1. Such a sweet image and lovely coloring. Love the lace...so pretty!!
    I like acrylic stamps a bit more than rubber because they are so much easier to position. I use both, though.
    Thank you so much, Holley. You are amazing.

  7. Good morning, Holley! She is a sweetie and beautifully coloured! Lovely lace too! I must say that I am impressed with all of your coffee-themed images this month! To your question, I like both types of stamps. I have a MISTI so if I don't get a good impression, I can stamp it a second time. Did you know there's a movement on YouTube where some ladies are collecting the older wood-mounted rubber stamps? I love watching some of their videos as it reminds me of when I first started stamping, and the only stamps available were the wood-mounted red rubber. Those were fun times!

  15. What a pretty card, and you are always great with coloring these stamps. I like both, but usually prefer clear so I can tell what I'm doing, lol.

  16. Hello
    i own clear stamps and rubber stamps, i like both.
    I choose them based on the subject they represent, not based on the material they are made of.
    Rubber stamps have the defect that they are more easily stained and it is difficult to clean them. Your card is beautiful, the lace adds an elegant touch and the stamp is beautifully colored congratulations. Happy scrap!!1 Taty

  18. That blue is brilliant! I really like the whole color combination. I like clear and rubber stamps. I am perhaps a little more fond if clear because they work well with the Misti tool.

  19. This is an adorable image. I use both clear and rubber stamps. I think rubber ones hold up better and can give a sharper image. But there are advantages to both kinds.

  27. Aw, she is very cute, great card! I really enjoy clear stamps with blocks, and red rubber stamps using a stamping platform. I have mounted rubber stamps, too, but don't typically buy them anymore due to storage issues, the last that I bought was a mouse house on clearance, had to have it! My kids got me 2 mounted stamps for part of my Christmas gift, which were bears, to go with a gorgeous baby nursery theme paper pad, a darling blue scrapbook album, and a few embellishments, since they are making me a grandma this year,they couldn't have managed a more thoughtful or memorable gift!

  34. I choose clear stamps but use both kinds due to using my MISTI when stamping. The few wooden stamps I own, I take off their wood and only due to them being House Mouse stamps which I love!!
