Tip of the Day Tuesday: Toothpaste!

photo (5)It’s time for a new feature at Stamp by Stamp Creations!  Like MDS Monday, I can’t guarantee that I’ll have a tip for you every week but if I do, look for it on Tuesdays.

I am SO excited share this fun tip with you because it really works!  Last week in class we were using the Designer Type Photopolymer Stamp Set with these itty bitty numbers and Black StazOn ink.  My itty bitty clear block was practically black by the end of class because people were pressing down on the ink pad just a little too hard with those itty bitty stamps.  What was I to do?

So, we got talking at the end of class about how I could try and get those little things clean.  We were using StazOn ink which is suppose to….stay on!  It’s permanent right?  We tried a few different suggestions but nothing was working….UNTIL Teresa suggested that I try toothpaste.  Not just any toothpaste….it had to be Crest tooth PASTE, not gel.  Well, low and behold….it worked!  Magic!  It took a little elbow grease along with the toothpaste but it worked!

I only had a little travel size tube on hand so I need to go and put a full size tube on my grocery list!  How about you?!
