More craft tips

Unfortunately I only had one scrap meet this week as the workshop to supposely take place this weekend has been cancelled. Also I found out our camp planned for November has been cancelled. Not happy Jan!

Yesterday I managed to finish off one of my daughters albums at long last and now I am back to working on another couple of projects I am going to try and finish off this year. 

Time to add some more tips for this month. This one is abit of a variety for stampers and scrappers.

1. You should store your inkpads upside down to avoid having your inkpads drying out at the top.

2. If you aren't sure what coloured cardstock or papers to use to layer your image on, choose a colour from your photos.
3. If the rubber on your rubber stamps is turning white, apply a light coat of glycerin over the rubber to avoid ghosting.  You can find glycerin from your local pharmacy.
4. It's recommend to stamp your rubber stamp with Veramark ink first before using permanent inks, otherwise it's more difficult to clean after use.
5. Lightly sand your shrink plastic first before stamping on it.
6. You should always clean your rubber stamps after use.  If your stamps are hard to clean, try using antibacterial hand wash.
