Two tips from Jen McGuire

I think it was Keitha who asked about cleaning acrylic blocks? Jen recommends Ultra Clean from Hero Arts for cleaning stamps and stamping tools.

Another interesting thing - if you have warped card fronts, run it through your laminator just inside a folded piece of copy paper. The heat & rollers will flatten it. I don't own a laminator but that sure might be a good reason to get one! I wonder if 12" paper will go through it? I would use it more for warped pages (from mixed media backgrounds).

Oh - and I just ordered the bone folder!

When my acrylic blocks get grungy I use the Lawn Fawn shammy. It removes dye and pigment ink. If the pigment ink dries, then a bit of stamp cleaner works. I've also cleaned them with just soap and water.

Thanks Pam. Yes, I was asking about cleaning my stamping platform. I have a Lawn Fawn shammy; guess it's time to get it out of the drawer and leave it on my table!

Definitely the shammy for the platform, but do it as soon as you notice the smear if you're using pigments. It's not recommended to use harsh cleaners on them.
