StazOn Cleaner - Old Set Cleaned up Example

StazOn Example Okay here is a stamp set I bought from Tish my Stampin Up upline. She used it on a Christmas card the year before I moved to Colorado in 2005 maybe even earlier and again in 2006 & 2007. I bought it from her in 2008. It was used in many and I mean many classes prior to me buying it and I have used it in a few classes as well. **Now I want to step backwards on some thoughts. Cleaning my stamps is my preference and fully cosmetic. This set has looked just like this and has done a bunch of beautiful cards. So looking like its been through the proverbial ringer does not mean it is not going to stamp a beautiful card. (The exception would be if it has a build up of versamark on it.) This is the photo I took just after I put the StazOn Cleaner on the stamp set After the cleaning. It is AMAZING!!! I know the blocks are a bit stained still. StazOn doesn't really work on the wood just the stamps This set looks great. I am so impressed.

I got it at Hobby Lobby for $3.99 I did use the eraser as well as the brush so in conjunction you are looking at about $8 to start with but it is worth it to get your stamps clean and this is only 1 set the kit you are creating will do so many more. Can't wait to hear how many sets you guys get cleaned up.

Stamp Cleaning Basics

You might be saying I know how to clean my stamps but even I forget to get back to basics so a refresher every once in a while is a good thing… Basic kit for cleaning stamps: Baby wipes or Stampin scrub (or both) White eraser paint brush dry cloth For cleaning your Stampin Scrub Oxyclean Baby Bottle parts holder (optional) So as I was creating the July class this week I turned on some of my Paper Crafter Library video’s and did another refresher in the stamp cleaning sections. * If you use baby wipes they have lanolin and Aloe in them and after time you will get build up on your stamps. You will need to get a good white eraser or the adhesive remover (available through Stampin Up) and run it over the stamp to remove the build-up then use a stiff brush to remove the residue. The reason for this is that the areas of build up will not hold the ink and your stamp will not stamp evenly. *The above will happen with incorrect cleaning of versamark ink also and again use the er
