Picture Frame Mats (Part 2)
Step 7
Attach entire mat and photograph to recycled or new picture frame backing with stand.
Tips
- Always store your solid coloured ink pads upside down. This will keep the ink on the surface of the pad. However, never store your rainbow pads this way. Always store them right side up.
- Some stampers believe stamp pads store in the refrigerator last much, much longer.
- During long periods of no use, never store your rubber stamps in direct sunlight or any hot area. The rubber can actually become brittle and of poor quality.
- Rubber stamps that have a build up of ink on them and won’t take a good coating of ink can be ‘sanded’ using a stiff pumice sponge available at most cosmetic counters.
- To protect the design on the top of your rubber stamps, a bit of clear packing tape across the design will do the job. A quick wipe with a damp cloth will remove any unwanted ink smears.
- Regular household bleach makes a terrific ‘eraser’ for tiny ink smears on white paper. Simply dab on full strength, using a Q-tip. Don’t try this on coloured paper.
- When making folder greeting cards, always score your fold on the inside of the card. Any imperfections in the fold will be hidden inside the card and be barely visible.
