Our preferred method of stamping in the studio, the quickest way to create multiple wax seals at once is to use a glue gun. You can stamp, peel the dried wax seal directly off the silicone mat, add an adhesive sticker and use it on whatever surface you prefer. So there's no pressure of wasting that nice envelope by accidentally messing up your stamping!
