| Use empty plastic wipe boxes for accessory storage containers. This keeps them out of a landfill and, best of all, they're FREE! |
White plastic eraser sticks are clean, easy to use and usually erase pencil marks completely, without
damaging paper surface. |
Use layers, embellishments and tags to create focal points of interest as well as add a
professional look. But don't over do it! |
| Create an interesting faux stitched border or accent by
piercing paper in evenly spaced increments and connecting the "dots" with the fine tip of a marker. |
Randomly stamp repeated images to create an original background. |
Always work under good light!
Use Daylight/Natural light bulbs to make sure your selected colors are true. |
| Before cleaning inked stamp on
scrubbing pad, press stamp on scrap paper until image fades away. Then apply
cleaning solution and scrub stamp. This will keep your scrubber pad cleaner and prolong its life. |
Store ink pads upside down. This allows gravity to keep the surface of the pad moist and ready for stamping. |
Dye vs. Pigment
Dye inks dry quickly and seep into porous surfaces. Pigment inks dry slowly and remain on the surface. VersaColor,
VersaMark and Emboss are pigment inks, Dual Brush is dye ink. When planning to color
stamped image with paint or marker, use VersaFine (or dye ink) to prevent the image from smearing.
