Have you used your stamps with acrylic paints? Any issues?

Red rubber or photopolymer? I haven't but I wouldn't think acrylic paint would do any damage to either of these materials. I used to use paint on foam stamps back in the day.

Well, it's been awhile but yes. I did it more when I did altered art. It's fun and a little different look.
Remember to clean your stamp immediately. Acrylic paint dries very quickly and is waterproof once dry. If you want to stamp the same image multiple times clean after each stamping, you do not have to wait for the stamp to dry to stamp again.
I would apply the paint by pouncing lightly with a sponge. I found intricate patterned stamps did not work well because the paint is thicker than ink and would 'clog up' the pattern.
It's great for stamping on fabric. Just add a little fabric medium to the paint and then it will be washable.
That's all I can think of right now.

I've done it with rubber stamps but I always make sure to clean them right away. One tip - stamps with fine detail have a tendency not to work as well. And I like to apply the paint with a sponge brush/applicator for even coverage. I don't know if they'll damage your stamps or not so may want to check on that.

Someone on the old two peas once pointed out that rubber stamps are made using a process much like the process of making car tires...so "messing them up" really isn't very likely unless there's a razor or nail involved. I love rubber stamps (photopolymer not so much) and I thought that was a good comparison that encourages creative play without worry.  |
