You can use the shapes themselves, nothing else, to create interesting stamping effects. so you can't lose with this set. The triangles or semi-circle combined with the square make great houses, the circles suns or moons. And you can press them into paint and then print onto a created background wonderful.
However, I used them in monoprinting on Gelli plates, and they have a special use for me. The Magic Stamp intended use is to heat the stamp with a hair dryer or heat gun, push it into something raised and textured and then use the stamp you have just made. Easier than carving a stamp.
I like to push the hot stamp onto a plate of rice or a line of rubber bands or the stucco on the outside of the house. All good. Then I discovered something even better.
I have raised letter stamps. Of course, if I press them into the paint on my monoprint, the paper will have the reverse address. What I do now is press a series of letters (right to left) into the hot stamp, stamp the reversed image into the paint and then, when I pull the print, the words are readable. Love them for this!

I love these so much that I had to buy a second set. These pieces of foam are easily heated, pick up even the smallest of details, and do an amazing job of retaining the image until they are heated and changed into something else. Purchasing these is almost like buying a never-ending supply of stamps, because you can use these to make an infinite number of designs and images. They are easy to store and easy to use. The variety of sizes and shapes provides you with a myriad of surfaces to create unique stamps and what I really love is that there are so many surfaces, if you create a stamp you really like, you can keep the image/design and just create a new look on a different surface of the foam.Bottom line: These deserve an A+ for construction and ease of use. Brilliant!
