Just learned to do a pivot with a pull tab and pretty happy with the way this has worked out.

Hey all. I'm make my wedding invites and was always intimidated by embossing, and now I wonder why! I made a little over 100 of these moons and it was so easy, albeit patience required. It took about two days with lots of breaks. I experimented with pouring it on thick and thin. I preferred thin but probably because this is a detailed stamp. I wished the jar had come with a spice lid, tiny holes and a big hole. And for those wondering long the powders will last you, the second pic is how much I have left after 100 - 3 inch moons. I didn't realize how little I'd use.

I made my own wedding invitations because I am a DOer. However, I obviously didn’t DO it correctly. Was about to take them to the post office and the envelopes are coming unglued! The cadstock pieces with all the information glued inside are also peeling off. I used the permanent tombow glue dots, obviously the wrong choice. Tried to reseal one envelope with gorilla glue and kept it pressed flat for 3.5 hours but it’s still peeling. I feel like the glue dots are now inhibiting any new glue from working.
My wedding is in 3 weeks and it took me 2 weeks to make these. I can’t start over. Don’t tell me how dumb I am please, I will cry. Everyone already RSVPed, but these were such a labor of love, and I really want them to go out as a special memento of the day. Please just tell me if I can save them…
How? How can I save them?

Hey, I have this stamp I've made myself from silicone, I've used it many times and it worked perfect. It's been sitting in my drawer for about a month or two, with a cap on. I now tried to use it again, but the ink beads up horrendously on the stamp and the image comes out watery and kinda blurry.
I'm using the same stamp, same ink (just a regular black ink from amazon), and same paper I have always used.
Back a few months ago, when I finished making the stamp, I sanded the surface off to roughen it up so the ink holds up. And as I mentioned, it worked pretty flawlessly.
I guess I'm just confused what would make the ink bead up when it didn't use to do that?
Thanks!
