If you use Stampin’ Up! ink pads, you know how their large size makes stamping a joy. When you’ve needed to use another company’s ink pad, such as a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad to use with your alcohol markers, do you ever wish it was large like Stampin’ Up! pads? If so, watch to see how!

Shelly …. Do you have a video or suggestion as to how to clean your stamps when using Memento Ink or Tuxedo Black ink?
Also, what do you do to keep your rubber stamps nice and pliable and from drying and getting brittle .. I have a number of old rubber stamps that I simply love and use more than others. They are retired stamps and showing the wear. Really hate to give them up.
Hi!
Stampin’ Mist and the Stampin’ Scrub easily remove Tuxedo Black Memento Ink for me without any stains.
The answer to your second question is also the Stampin’ Mist. It cleans and conditions your rubber stamps. Many use baby wipes. The problem with them is the usually contain a drying agent, even if the read alcohol-free, so the baby’s bottom dries quickly.
Stampin’ Mist also smells good. 🙂 The construction of the bottle is excellent. I’m using the same bottle that has been refilled countless times in the past 17 years. Here’s the link for the Stampin’ Mist http://bit.ly/1D8qq5R
