Good day everyone,
Today I want to share some tips about long term care of your stamps.
As you will all agree with me I'm sure, stamps are just like any other "tools" we purchase for our trade / pleasure of crafting and as such, taking care of them is critical if they are to last.
I have personally found that no matter where you purchase your stamps, each company uses slightly different rubber. Some hold the ink image on them darker than others, so it is really important that you clean them as best as possible right after use to help for the longevity of the stamp, not to mention to help with the clarity each time you use the stamp for your image.
I personally use two methods to clean all my stamps, no matter what make they are. I use Stampin'Up's Scrup Pad and Stampin' Mist and I also use baby wipes afterwards. I find using the baby wipes helps clean all the little nooks and crannies and definitely helps clean up dark inks off the stamp and helps to keep the stamp clean and ready for the next time you want to use it!
That's just my personal way of keeping my stamps clean and in the best shape possible for continual use over the years.
Cheers till next time!
