Description:
Yay! Newbies are welcome on this one! Please have your profile filled out well! <3 We'll be sending two partner 10 different stamps each. Great ratings booster if you're new! :) These stamps can be either on or off paper, I know some people have trouble getting them off, I'm one of them! If you do send some off paper and take your time doing that, don't be disappointed if you receive stamps that aren't. Please use stamps on envelope you're sending as well! Easy peasy! Let me know if you have any questions! Let's have fun with this! â™¥ I will angel this if anyone is flaked, but please lets not have it come down to that.

Helpful tip:

How to get stamps off paper:

-cut excess paper off around stamps. (you can do several at a time)

-soak in a container of HOT water

-soak until stamps will begin to seperate from paper (older stamps always do this first and easiest)

-gently peel stamps off paper

-place seperately on towel to dry

-do not let touch until completely dry-very important-

I've learned that you should use body warm weather. otherwise the watermarks and the "picture" on the stamps can be ruined!

What about stamps that use adhesive instead of the old lick and stick?

@smadronia I've found that using a qtip to rub some goo gone on the back of the stamp. Then I put it in lukewarm water and that works really well.
