One of the things I get the most comments about is the fact that I give tips and tricks while I am in the middle of my video tutorials. The tips are just things I think of when I am teaching aspects of the projects I share. But the more I thought about it, I realized that tips are part of every single video. This week, I decided to share one tip every day and start building up a section on the website to go to grab tips and tricks from me. Today’s tip teaches how to get evenly inked stamps when ink pads are brand new.
Brand new inkpads are full of pretty ink and sometimes when you ink a stamp the image looks overly inked. A very quick remedy for this is to use a plastic spoon or metal one you designate for crafting to push the ink from the center to the sides of the ink pad. Next, you ink up your stamp in the area you pushed the ink from and you will get a much-improved image as seen in the picture above.
Check out my short video below.
As you can see, this small change can make a difference in your stamping projects. If you missed last weeks Bird’s Eye View projects, click here! I wouldn’t want you to miss them. See you back here tomorrow for another fun tip. Happy Stamping, my friends!
