Stamping Cushion-tip
Here’s a wonderful tip suggested to me, by my friend Malissa! (who was setting up her craft space, and was looking around her house for something she could place under her card base when she stamps…and her eyes ran across her dining room table…..lol)
When using unmounted stamps, sometimes when you are stamping on a hard surface,you feel like you aren’t getting a good impression, soooooo for a cheap and effective cushion, pick up one of those foam type place-mats. They usually run about 99 cents. They are the PERFECT stamping cushion. lol ( I bought 3 of them that were Christmas themed, after the holidays for about 25 cents each…lol)
Just be sure to have a piece of scrap paper on top of it, since the ink may not dry on the placemat and you run the risk of smearing it on your self, your art..etc…

I like that idea. I use a piece of fun foam under mine and it seems to work. Now I’ll be looking for a placemat.
HEY PAM, ANOTHER GOOD THING TO USE IS YOUR CUTTING MAT. IF YOU HAVE THE FISKERS ONE WITH THE FOAM BACK JUST FLIP IT OVER AND USE IT. MOST EVERYONE I KNOW HAS ONE OF THESE MATS ON THEIR STAMP TABLE FOR CUTTING STUFF.
What a great idea….the dollar store is my favorite place for these!!
What a great suggestion from a new crafter! I like the way Malissa thinks! :o)
