I’m going to show you how to clean your stamps – 5 WAYS to clean your stamps at that! I know….that sounds like a pretty boring post and video–how to clean your stamps! But, I get asked often and there are so many options, I thought I would take a day and share the different options via a video and then you can decide what method works the best for you. This is a great stamping basics video to save for future reference too.
Don’t worry–I also have a couple of super cute cards to share in the video with some RIBBON TIPS!!!!

As I show you all the different options to clean your stamps, these are the cards I will also be giving you tips on creating!!!! I hope you enjoy the video and everything I have to “teach” you today.

Thank you for these important tips to keep our stamps in top shape! As a new stamper, I am always glad to know info like this that those long-time stampers have picked up already. And the cards are really cute, too! Your videos are just great.
Thanks Susan, I am so glad the video was helpful to you. Make sure to check out the section of my blog called: LEARN TO STAMP. Lots of information for new stampers.
Love the ribbon trick and will use it. I don’t have a bow maker but do have a way to make bows of any size. Learned how to tie bows years ago by watching a video.
Glad you learned something-that is always my goal with each video–to teach people simple tips!
Hi Jackie… I have just ‘discovered’ you. I love your videos! You are an inspiration. Can’t wait for the next one!

I was not able to find the place to click on for the video.
The video is right on the blog post that you commented on.
Enjoyed the video. I love to use the shammy to clean my stamps! I took one and cut it into 4 pieces and keep it stored in a stamp case. I retired my stampin’ Scrub! It’s still the one with the white scrubs inside!!
wow–that was an OLD Stampin’ Scrub!!! Those you could see how stained they were, the black hides it all! lol
Thank you Jackie, out of all the online demonstrators. I found YOU, I’m grateful…you educate and inspire! ?
aahhh….thanks Willa. So happy to have you!!!!
Very helpful. Thank you. I enjoy seeing the cards you make with the various stamp sets.
Thanks Brenda, glad you enjoyed the video.
I love love your videos – both with ideas for using equipment and for the different cards you make. Today I learnt a different way to make the bow using the little bow thing … which I have … but is use it differently. I think your way is much better. Thanks.
Glad I was able to help. It’s all about keeping it simple! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing your ideas via video. They are short and full of easy tips to bring to my stamping table. Appreciate you taking time to make them.
Thanks Elaine. And thanks for watching.
Wow! That bow maker tip will save me lots of frustration when I need a bow. You always provide wonderful tips and inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed the tips. thanks for watching the video and commenting.
Your videos are the best ?
aawww…thanks.
Loved the cleaning video! I have all that equipment but it was nice to know just what works.
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Great tips about cleaning stamps. Love the sweet card! I saw a similar bow maker and showed it to my handy husband. He made one for me with very little effort.
The bow maker is the bomb!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I basically use water to clean my stamps IF I have used water-based ink on them. For pigment ink and Versamark, I use Stazon cleaner. And I just use an old t-shirt piece to finish cleaning and drying them.
I enjoy your posts. Have not had internet since July 18th, so this may be an old post from you. Found out today I had a bad router. Who knew? Very frustrating as our local phone company is overwhelmed and it took this long to get someone to come out here.
Glad you Internet is working again–I know how frustrating that can be. There are many ways to clean stamps, glad you found a way that works for you.
Love your cards and tips. I was under the impression that the original stamp cleaner pad had a conditioner in the cleaner to keep the stamps from getting hard and dried out. If all you need is water, why did they sell the stamp cleaner in the first place? Just wondering.
I can’t really answer that, as I am not really sure–sorry. My honest guess is that the “conditioner” was not the important part, but the cleaner does help to clean certain inks.
Very cute cards! Thanks for ALL of the great tips!
Thank Pam. I hope the tips are helpful!
thanks for sharing love the cleaning videos
It’s always helpful to know how to take care of those stamps so they last a long time and work perfectly for you! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the cleaning tips. Love your videos!
As a side note….I have a bow maker as well and love it. If you have a handy husband, and I do, I showed him a picture and he made one for me.
That’s great Shirley! Glad you enjoy the videos I share!
