Joanna,
Can you tell me if you will be stocking the crafters companion rock a blocks please? They look as if they will be very easy to use. Many thanks Carol x x x |

Carol, i saw Jane demonstrating these on Sunday at the NEC and i was very impressed with how easy they seemed to be to use, though i must admit Jane makes
everything look easy, lovely lady that she is.

Do they work if you've already got Easi Mount on the stamps - the ridged part didn't look very high when I saw these on the TV.

I was wondering that too Carol. Would love to know if anyone has used them yet.

A good point Carol, i don't think they would, the stamp would be too high as you say.

Hi there,
During the launch show, I'm sure that I heard Sara say that the blocks were suitable for your existing unmounted stamps, but I tried mine with the blocks I bought at the NEC, and they don't work. I had a conversation with Jayne about it, and she said that they wouldn't, but I had a play anyway lol. Stamps that have Ez mount on are much higher and therefore are too high for the rockers to work properly, at least that is what Jayne said and what I have found. I'd be very interested to know how to get them to work with ez mounted stamps though, it would be great to be able to have the choice

I got some and they work fine with unmounted cute companions I got and are unmounted - I asked Sara at the show as Jayne wasn`t there Saturday and she said
they work with stamps that are already ezmounted but not by rocking system as the ridges are to shallow once the ezmount is on - so you use your stamp with
ezmount as you would with a acyrlic block and stamp that way
I road tested mine to see how both worked without being to careful as I wanted to see if it was true you get a prefect stamp evertime and out of 10 stamping and re-inking I only got 1 that had the corner mark of ink - the ezmount ones came out fine Hope that helps a little Suzanne |

Its good to get some feedback on this................ I never got round to using mine last week and been too busy this week also ...I have the ez mount
but was thinking of hanging on and getting the rock a blocks as I thought they may work better with those and once Ez mount is on, not sure I would get it off
again!!! I think the trouble may be that we have so much choice !!!!! The stamps are lovely and would like the numbers also but wanted to use them with the
best stamping system. ............. as I got all four, I may try one set on Ez mount and make my judgement. Anymore feedback welcome...............

I'm staying with acrylic blocks and EZ mount until proved otherwise - not had any 100% feedback that spraying glue and using rock a blocks is better yet
... but I am always open to opinions - more feedback please - it's a really interesting thing for everyone to know about

proves you can`t always cut corners

Must admit these really didn't appeal to me...I'll stick with Ez Mount...but those stamps are gorgeous!

Now I have found Ez-mount I am not swapping it. Also a lot of Glenda's large stamps will not fit onto these blocks that was one thing I thought about
straight away when I saw them on C&C.

I agree with you Joanna mine came this morning and they are parceled up ready to be returned. I am happy with the EZ mount and blocks and will continue using
these as there is not a problem and I am happy with the finished stamping ......

I saw the demoes and thought this was something I can quite happily do without - very happy with my acrylic blocks and Ez-mount, also happy with glue stick,
acrylic blocks and stamping mat for the stamps I have not got round to putting on to EZ mount.
