Tip: What to do when your stamp won't ink up right?

I was struck by inspiration today and HAVE to share it with you. There are lots of tips and tricks that I have heard and read but more often than not, the problem is to put the right tip with the right problem.

Today, I was looking over some stamp sets that have been sitting in a box for quite a while. I dare say, I put them in my box when I first moved down to my stamp room at the beginning of this year and I didn't know if I would ever get them back out.

As I looked at one set in particular, I started talking to it and pretty much told it that it gets one last chance to redeem itself. It has never really been in trouble but it has never shined either. As cute as it is, the ink never stamps right. I've tried it with favorite stamp pads, brand new stamp pads and reinked stamp pads. Even with craft ink and embossing, I have only a 25 percent shot at the image being decent. That's not up to SU! par.

When you watch the video, you'll see how easy it was to fix. I've known about my problem and about this trick a long time. But it took today to put two and two together.

Enjoy!
