You taught this old stamper of over 25 years some helpful new ideas. Well done, thanks!

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@doloresneilson5349]

Oh wow. I watch so many card making video hacks -- thought I'd seen them all. So excited to have some awesome ones I wasn't aware of. Love the non-stick scissors, the sticky mat by cutting a Cricut mat and others!! THANK YOU!!

Stamping tiny stamps with fingertip is such a good idea!

[@DreamCraftCreate]

It's a great tip! How do you do it without getting ink on your finger?

[@DreamCraftCreate]

As long as I just tap the ink pad, I’m able to keep my finger clean. 🙂

I love the tip about restamping your image after you have colored it! I will definitely be using that idea. The rest of your tips were great reminders! TY

@@DreamCraftCreatethis is an awesome video with some excellent tips! Thank you so much for sharing this. You have a lovely voice and presentation. Would you mind telling me the name of the thanks stamp and die you’re using at 4:25?

[@DreamCraftCreate]

@@joyelleforjesus​​⁠Thank you so much! ❤️ I used an older Thanks set from Crafter’s Companion. Unfortunately, it is not being sold anymore. You may be able to find it for resale somewhere though.

[@kerriegood1046]

Great video, no matter how long one has been stamping, there is always something new to learn. I need a few of your suggestions.

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Thank you! So happy you found a few things. ❤️ It’s fun that there is always something new to learn! 😉

[@craftmeacard]

Thank you for all these tips! I really like that sticky mat for the Misty. Excellent idea! I’ve seen you use your finger for tiny stamps and I have to say, even though I was skeptical, it works!! LOLL I find myself using my finger for tiny stamps all the time now LOL TFS 🥰😍👍👏👏👏

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Yay! Finger stamping for the win! 😆

[@UsernameBarbF]

I'd never seen the finger tip stamping, it's sure going to save time and I'm eager to try it! I tried reading all of the comments so I wouldn't repeat anything already said so hopefully these will be new ideas--#1 as to magnetic sheets, I have found the best option--cost wise as well as ability to cut and size them to fit--are magnetic vent covers which you can buy at places like Home Depot, etc. They come 3 to a package and sometimes they go on sale. They're strong, they cut easily so you can trim off a piece that fits any size die set you have, small or large. #2 Next up, if for any reason you've removed your stamped image, removed your stamp from your MISTI too and then discover you need to re-stamp (yep, I did that), I first put my stamped image back into my MISTI, then took a 5x7 rectangle of clear acetate and laid it over my stamped image, then I placed the stamp itself onto the MISTI in where I thought it should go. Then I inked my stamp and stamped--the ink is now on the acetate and I could see I needed to reposition my stamped image. Wiped off the acetate and re-stamped until I got it right. Part of the value in this is that there's no worry that a stamp might still have some ink on it that can transfer to your stamped image and ruining it because it's just stamping on the acetate. By having that acetate be about 5x7, you can use it on just about any size card you're making. Just store it behind the MISTI's black foam piece. #3 I discovered that re-stamping after coloring with colored pencil also makes a striking difference. #4 When you clean stamps with alcohol, I was told that it can dry out the rubber and damage them--not sure if that only applies to red rubber stamps or also to cling stamps. Might be best to use water or baby wipes or stamp cleaning solutions instead of straight alcohol. Here's a link to those magnetic vent cover sheets: www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-15-x-8-3-Pk-Magnetic-Vent-Covers-MC815/100345609#overlay Thanks so much for your video, it was very helpful!

Thank you! These are all very helpful tips. Do you use the same blending brushes for all your inks?

[@DreamCraftCreate]

I do, but I clean my brushes in between uses as I find a clean brush blends the best. If you do not want to clean your brushes every time I recommend having a set for dye inks and a set for oxide/pigment inks. I did it that way for a long time. 🙂

This has to be one of the best "tips" videos I watched for paper crafter. Do have a question re: Pink Post Ink - if using with Copics how long must you dry to eliminate smudging?

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Thank you so much! 😊 When I first stamp, I usually set my paper aside for a minute or two. If an image has a lot of black areas I may hit it with my heat tool for a few second just to make sure it’s dry. When I’m done coloring and re-stamp I do the same thing. Hope that helps!
