RANTS

I know that I have not posted in a while, and that is ok, life gets in the way of things sometimes and we cannot always do what we would want to do. However, I find it necessary to do a rant today about the Recollections brand cling stamp, which have no names, that is with the black and pink collections in stores, the dollies stamps to be specific. I have stamped these in several mediums onto different surfaces, and I will be honest I thought they would be great to make a copy cat version of the Maggie Holmes dollies in gold velum sheet. They are not, I repeat not, anything like I would have expected from Recollections brand at all. Yes I have a lower expectation for this brand, but come on. I find that unless I push the stamps into the mount the cling only attaches in sections, not all over like it is suppose to, and I use a Fiskars clear mount for my stamps. Then it does not fully stamp, again no matter what the medium that I am using to stamp with, i.e. dye ink, pigment ink, or embossing ink. And to that it always seems that the ink misses in about the same spot in the stamp, there does not seem to be any ridges or bumps on the stamps to explain why they do that. I am just very unsatisfied with this product and would not recommend it to anyone else.

But I would like to end with a positive thought on this, even though it does not meet my expectations I can still use them, until I can get different ones, I will just hide the bad parts by layering over them, humm maybe an idea for a new post.

Thanks for stopping by
