Thanks for the tip! The tap tap twist twist tap is a great technique and it works!

Thanks again!

Thank you for doing the video! I'm new to stamping, and I loved hearing about your tap, tap, twist, twist, tap - that sure made a NICE image!!!!! What's the best way to clean the stamp then?

@tzulover9092 1. Clean your stamps (and the block if needed) immediately after use. The longer ink remains, the more difficult it will be to remove. (Pigment inks such as Close To My Heart Archival Ink and Staz On will permanently discolor the stamp image. 2. Use My Acrylix Spritz or Stamp Cleaner and the Double Scrubber for regular cleaning. Clean the stamps while still on the blocks.

@tzulover9092 3. Use soap and water to restore tack. Dust, dirt, and oils may cause your stamps to become less sticky over time. If you find they seem less adhesive, simply wash the stamps with dish soap and water to restore their original “stick.” (Continual use of soap and water will eventually cause a build-up. We recommend using this method occasionally, only as needed.)

@tzulover9092 4. Use alcohol to remove residue. If you notice a residue on the back of your stamps, rub them with alcohol using a non-abrasive, fiber free cloth. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL ON MY ACRYLIX BLOCKS. (Extensive use of alcohol is not recommended. Use this method occasionally, only as needed.)

@tzulover9092 I replied in mulitple parts because YOuTube doesn't let you post links! See my response below. Also check out my Web site for more stamping tips and ideas. The link is on the left side of the Crop Candy YouTube page.
