What is Stampbord?
Stampbord’s ultra smooth clay finish is an ideal stamping surface. The Stampbord surface accepts all traditional stamping colors including dye based and pigment inks. The absorbency of the clay surface allows for perfect, clean impressions everytime. The surface allows for color application without runs. And no matter how saturated the surface becomes, the material will never buckle. With the stiff backing, the Stampbord is perfect for combining stamping and layered collage. Use it for jewelry and other gift giving ideas.

The greatest aspect of these boards is the fact that, because the surface is clay, the stamper can scratch back into the surface to apply details and textures to the design. With traditional surfaces of various card stocks the process has always been an additive one. With Stampbord, the ability to do subtractive techniques opens up an entirely new extension to one's repertoire. For example, in landscape stamping, one can scratch in highlights on rocks making them appear more three dimensional.

Scratch that "silver lining" into your clouds, or reveal individual blades of grass on an open meadow. And, hey, if you don't like what you've stamped in a given area --no problem, just sand it off the board. Stampbord is very forgiving and you can erase almost any ink right off with oil-free steel wool without affecting the integrity of the surface.

Mini Stampbords can be glued, drilled or carved. To make earrings, glue on posts or clips after doing the artowrk. Drill holes and add a chaine to make unique necklaces or bracelets. Add to a chain pull for lamps or ceiling fans!

Sealing the Stampbord surface is important after you finish your work. Ampersand recommends a clea acrylic varinsh to add brilliance or clear gloss polyurethane spray -gives a very nice luster to your finished piece.

Working with Acrylics and Colored Pencils wipe the clayboard surface with a damp cloth before painting. Paint with thin coats of acrylic if you are doing to cut-in or scratch knife into the surface (thick coats will not allow the scratch knife to cut into the paint). Repaint the scratches or leave them white and seal with clear coar of acrylic medium. Try colored pencils! The softer the lead and th ehigher the pigment in the pencil the better the results will be.
