Homemade stamp/ink Daubers: PVC pipe cut into 3/4″
(guesstimate) and stuffed with make up sponges
(which can be changed out when they are really used up). Try this!
Here is another tip I saw on Pinterest
using Dental Floss for Crafting
Another stamping tip from Lisa’s Stamp Studio
using a coffee cup on Pinterest:
Here’s an important tip. The new firm foam ink pads
are soft so don’t twist the bottom of your coffee cup
in the pad or you risk tearing it. Yep…ask me how I
know that! ((heavy sigh))
Tap gently and place the inked mug on your card. Simple!
An Embossing tip from Pinterest:
Before inking your image that you wish to emboss,
rub a daryer sheet over your paper. This eliminates
the static that causes some bits of embossing powder
to stick in unwanted places.
Another tip from Pinterest:
Need a background stamp? Try using your clear
blocks with rubberbands
Another Stamp Technique from Pinterest:
Condition your stamps: If you aren’t happy with the quality of your stamped images,
try going over the surface of your stamp with a large eraser in order to give your ink
a little texture to grip to. This is especially effective with larger stamps, and it
works on both clear and rubber varieties to give you crisper images.”
