Tip of the Week

Use empty Pringles cans to store wheels, you can fit 7 in each can!
When mounting alphabet stamps, line up the bottom of the letter with the bottom of the block. That way all of your letters are in the same spot on the block. Makes stamping much easier!
When embossing, if you can't find your embossing buddy substitute a sock filled with cornstarch!
Store your stamping wheels on a 4 rod pant hanger
If a brand new stamp doesn't seem to accept the ink evenly, rub it with an eraser
Heat embossing powder from underneath to avoid fly away
Save left over rubber from cutting out to mount your stamps to use as a pop-dots or stampin’ dimensionals.
Make your own pop dots by running fun foam through a Zyron machine.
Use your brayer to ink up background stamps for a more even coverage
If you like to attach ribbon with colored staples, color the the staples with a sharpie before putting them into your stapler.
2/3 stamping mist to 1/3 water does the same cleaning job and makes your mist last a lot longer
