Fiska Link Friday Another Tip on Acrylic Stamps

Fiska Link Friday Another Tip on Acrylic Stamps


Hi Everyone on another Fiska Link Friday.Well I have had a very busy week celebrating the " Birthday " Celebration of the 1st year in business for our LSS. They have been having events daily all week and it will end on Sat with a Supermarket Sweep Contest.We've had so much fun. One lucky person will get 1 minute to run the store and fill a basket with as much product as they possibly can. Doesn't that sound like the prize to win?!! Wish me luck. I would love to win that. Of course I can't do the running so I have a stand in runner.

Well on to to my Fiskars Friday offering. I have another tip on using the acrylic stamps. You know how certain ink colors stain the stamps more so than others? Especially the reds, blues, purples or example. Well although having stained stamps means they are a well used loved stamp if you don't want them to stain or to keep the staining to a minimum here is a tip.

Before stamping with your color of choice. Take your stamp and ink it in a Versamark pad first. Then go right away to the ink color pad and ink it with the color. Now stamp the image. When you clean the stamp you will have a clean non stained stamp as a result. I tried this with a very red color. My stamp was as clear as brand new when I was done.

So if it really bothers you to have stained stamps and you don't mind inking it in the Versmark first then this could work for you.Give it a try. See what you think. I haven't tried all colors but I think it should be fairly successful.

Have a good Fiska-Link Friday!!! See you next week.
