Super Simple Tip to Maintain a Clean Stamp Pad

Remember this Beautiful Branches card with the pretty custom color Glimmer Paper? Well, it left glitter on my ink pad. Today I’m sharing with you a super simple tip to maintain a clean stamp pad after getting glitter all over it.

After using my Sponge Brayer to ink Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper I noticed my Melon Mambo ink pad was sparkly too.

While pretty, not good for getting a well stamped image. The sparkles could create tiny uninked areas, especially noticeable on a solid stamped image.

The fix is super easy. Press a piece of packing tape onto your ink pad.

And then remove. Click on the picture below to see how well the tape removed the glitter.

Clean as a whistle where the tape was pressed on and removed. I used a new piece of packing tape for the rest of the pad because that tape was full of glitter and ink.
