Thrifty Thursday: How to clean your clear stamping blocks.

Thrifty Thursday happens almost every Thursday and it's my way to contribute with some tips and techniques that will not bankrupt your pocket book. So be sure to follow my blog so you can see when I post a new money saver tip. Now on, for today's tip...

I was recently playing with my newest Prima and Technique Tuesday stamps and found that my acrylic blocks were just too dirty that I couldn't see through them. I know, that sounds awful! But sometimes I have to decide if I am going to clean and organize or scrap and create something!

Anyway, I had read somewhere that you could use a Magic Eraser to clean them. I didn't believe it until I tried it.

Here are the before photos:



Here are the after photos:



My observations:

you don't need a lot of elbow grease. Gently rub the sponge and it will erase all the permanent ink you might have on your acrylic blocks. I use a lot of Black Staz On ink and you can't get that off with just water and soap, but Magic Eraser will do it. If you rub the sponge to hard it will erase the grid lines of your block, so go easy on them!

Let me know how you like you newly cleaned blocks. :)

Mini Kit from The Little Shabby Box

As my first assignment for the Little Shabby Box, I got to work with their mini kit and it is superb. It's mini but it's full of goodies: yummy Jenni Bowlin papers, glittered butterflies, chipboard stars, ribbons, even a handmade embellishment.

I was able to make 4 cards and there's still a lot of stuff left to make many more. Here are some sneak peeks...









Be sure to check their blog for the full view of these cards and their shop for the kit.

Be blessed,

Happy Father's Day!

Below a batch of cards I sent to Operation Write Home.

I hope they made a Father's Day!!



hug your daddy today. :)
