I have done some stamping yesterday - actually I do this almost everyday :) and as I am getting ready for stamping today, I look at my stamps and... I am really happy with how they look like :)
They look like brand new! But I used them sooo many times already... So, what is the secret - someone may ask - to keep your stamps look like new?
Well, the secret is in taking good care of your stamps from the very beginning.
This is why today I want to tell you about two products, which you should take into consideration when starting your stamping adventure. These are: Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner.
So let me tell you this:
- if you use rubber stamps in your craft, and
- if you really care about your stamps and want to keep them in a good condition and prolong their life,
- if you want to achieve beautiful results every time you use stamps for your craft,
- if you want your stamps to look like new (for yourself or if you want to sell one that you don't use any more),
Stampin' Scrub is a dual-sided tray containing replaceable black fibre scrubbing pads. You clean stamp on one side and dry on the other. It is up to you which side you decide to use for which purpose. I use the bottom side for cleaning and top one for drying, but it doesn't matter how you will organize this. Just when you make your choice try to stick to it and don't mess up your scrub. For cleaning you use Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner, which is lightly scented (I just love this scent!) spray which cleans and conditions your rubber stamps. Each pad is approximately 17.8 x 14.6 cm and it fits even the largest Stampin' Up! stamps.
So what you do is: spray let say bottom side of the scrub, rub your stamp on it, and then to dry you rub it again but on the top side of the scrub. And this is it :) Easy!
It is recommended to clean stamps immediately after use.
Both products you can find in Stampin' Up! current Idea Book and Catalogue. And for both products you can get refills :)
