Question Bellas

Don't know much about the Bella's but love the stamps, can anyone tell if they are mounted or do you use an acrylic block to use them? Are they rubber or acrylic?
any info would be great (have a girl who i think is a bella, lol)

The Bellas are rubber and are unmounted, you use an acrylic block. Check out www.stampingbella.com Or you can e-mail Em and she is more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Just another note, Bellas are rubber.....JUST rubber! They don't come mounted on anything clingy. Em leaves it up to you to decide if you want EZ-Mount, Thin EZ-Mount, Creative Cling, double stick tape, Alene's Tack-it-over and over glue.....whatever YOU want! Which I would LOVE it all unmounted companies would offer JUST the bare rubber as an option. I hate peeling off the cling stuff from GinaK and Our Daily Bread Designs stamps and just throwing it away, but I don't use it, so that's what I do! I just always think I'd save THEM money if they didn't use it on my stamps. I know....like MY piddly orders would make a difference. Ha, ha, ha!

I always mount my Bellas on EZ-Mount and then use acrylic blocks, I just like the impression better

I use Tack It Over and Over and acrylic blocks with my Stellas and Bellas and I've never had a problem with the stamped image.

Just goes to show there is no "right" way or "wrong" way to use your rubbah

I just use plain old 3M double sided tape and an acrylic block. Bellas are so fun, and i love that they come unmounted because they take up so much less space.

I do the same but have been thinking about putting some of my faves onto EZMount.

They are very well-etched rubber!

Love my Bella's and yes, be sure to visit us in the Stamping Bella forum.

What I love is that you have tons of options! I put Tack it Over & Over on most of mine, but the big ones get EZ Mount. However they come, I loveyyyyy them!

Yes, and very closely, I might add! The rubbah is SUPER THICK and deeply etched.

not sure if you already have the answer you are looking for, but wanted to let you know that a while back I posted a mini-tutorial on my blog of stamping with my Bellas. It just shows how I used the adhesive, etc. it might be helpful to see the pics!

http://crafts.peteandkerry.com/2008/...th-bellas.html

I love Bellas, they are great! And when I give Bella cards out, everyone seems to LOVE them!

have fun!
