Scrappn Pal Annie's Card

Scrappn Pal Annie's Card

I used stamping, then chalked the bear and used a blending pen to take away the chalking look. I used wet embossing for the heading.

Cleaning Acrylic Stamps?

Mandy was asked: 

Hi Mandy,

I love using acrylic stamps, but I hate cleaning them. The solution that we buy in scrapbooking stores still leaves them pretty much dark, it doesn't remove the stain from the ink. With time it makes it difficult to stamp as I cannot see through them. Is there different kinds of solution for the different types of inks that we use? Or am I just using the wrong solution?

Thank you,

Chantal Labbe

Mandy replies: 

There are various different solutions on the market but I think the problem actually lies with the stamp, acrylic stamps are made differently (i.e. some cheaply and some not so) and I believe it really is the quality of the stamp that causes  the ink to seep into it which over time will make them brittle.

Stamping on Photos

Mandy was asked: 

Hi Mandy,
I enjoy using stamps to add detail to scrapbook pages and sometimes I would like the stamp to go across the page and overlap the photograph - can you advise me please on the best type of ink to use for this?
Thanks a lot,
Annie

Mandy replies: 

The one that will stay on and not wipe off is Staz-on by Tsukineko, it will work perfectly on photolab photos - so if you are printing your own it might just not work as with some ink jet photos it will lift the ink from the photo when you lift the stamp - you have been warned!!!

You will need a pink (light) inkpad for this layout along with a large photo 7x5 or larger that can be squared up. if you have an acrylic block that would save time.
