    Another tip I have when using clear stamps. Once you season, then ink it, when you stamp it, don't lift up right away. Give the ink a couple of seconds to absorb into the paper. I didn't have that issue as much with our whisper white cardstock but since getting the basic white, I've had to do that.

    I heard where demonstrators take the back of a spoon and move the ink to the sides because the ink pads can be too juicy. By doing this you get a crisper stamping. Hugs! K8

    Tracy have you tried stamping off using your new pad? Looks like there is just too much ink on it. I saw someone take a plastic spoon and just press and move the ink to one side of the pad when that happens. You could also use a credit card - anything that will push the ink to one side. Might help.

    Thank you for sharing your creativity! I really like this kit, as I'm a huge fan of outdoorsy and rustic themes. As for the stamping, at times I've had better luck with a full-size pad -- on solid stamps that need a lot of ink, for example. I often use the ink spots because I don't have a lot of full-size pads. Sometimes the stamps seem to repel that ink, though, for some reason. I try the Versamark trick in that case. But when it keeps happening, I often switch to a full-size ink pad to get decent results. I got a great impression with the March 2024 stamps using a full-size Memento Tuxedo black pad. It's a linen type pad like the spots. Thanks again for sharing! I especially liked the heat embossing. I'd thought of trying that for the trees and seeing it on your cards made me decide to go for it.

    What is that little yellow plaid thing?

  • @tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz
    @tracymarielewis-stuffnthingz2 ай бұрын

    Eleanor, your question took me awhile to figure out. That little plaid gizmo is what I use during the layout segment to raise up an element as if it is popped up with dimensionals. The plaid is a length of 3M foam tape attached to a piece of yellow post it note. I have used these forever. I actually have a small, medium and large one. I really should make a couple more. I like to plan out my layouts using them prior to sticking anything down. I hope this clarifies and thanks so much for the great question!

    Tracy, I cant remember who it was but someone else I saw on utube had difficulty getting a good stamped image using the large ink pad. There is a difference in the ink spot and large pad. Apparently, Ink spot is felt based and large pad is sponge. It appears that may be the difference in imaging.

    I like your ideas. I usually don’t do as is, I like to make alternatives. I cut 2 1/2 “ circles from the envelopes and stamped the tree on it to make more circled trees. I have very little big ink pads and I use my ink spots all the time. They’re just the right size for me and doesn’t take a lot of space. They are in 2 paper pumpkin boxes so far . I’ve been collecting them since April 2018 so I have a lot! Thanks for sharing!
