Stamps?
I am not a very crafty person, but was wanting to make some gift tags for Christmas this year and was thinking DD could help me by "stamping" the tags. I was thinking the kind I remember as a kid-wooden back, rubber stamps. Looking on amazon though I found these:
This is what I was looking for in style (generic winter theme) but have never used clear/self clinging stamps before. What are they? How do I use them? Is it something DD could do or does it take more skill then pushing the stamp from the ink pad to the paper? Any help would be appreciated! TIA!
(Oh and the reason I'm looking on amazon is because the nearest craft store is a hour drive and I'm not planning on that trip any time soon and amazon has 2 day shipping.)

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Stamps?
Clear stamps are similar to wood-mounted stamps, you just don't have the wood which makes them much easier to store. Clear stamps are "tacky" and will cling to clear acrylic blocks. So when you purchase a set of clear stamps, also purchase a clear block or two. Clear blocks come in multiple sizes, get one big enough for the biggest stamp in your set and you'll be able to stamp with all of them.
Your daughter should be able to use them. Sometimes, depending on the stamp brand and the user, the clear stamps can become dislodged during the stamping process, so they can be messier than wood mounted stamps, and you may have more "oops" moments with young children. Practice on scratch paper first until you and she get the process down.
