What is included in the Verdant Garden stamp set?

The set contains eight photopolymer stamps in a garden theme. It is a retired Stampin' Up! set, so it does not come with dies or a storage case unless the seller includes them.

Does it work with regular acrylic blocks?

Yes. Photopolymer stamps are clear and cling to standard acrylic blocks, so you can see through the block to place each image. Stampin' Up!'s own clear blocks work the same way.

Can I still buy this set new from Stampin' Up!?

No. Verdant Garden is retired and no longer in the current catalog. Any set you find is leftover stock or secondhand, so check that all eight stamps are present.

What inks should I use with photopolymer stamps?

Water-based dye inks and pigment inks made for clear stamps work well. Clean the stamps after each use, since pigment and dark dye inks can stain the clear polymer over time.

Is this set good for beginners?

It is a simple eight-stamp set with no dies or layering required, so it is easy to start with. Beginners will still need acrylic blocks and ink pads, which are not included.
