This Practical Magic Stamp Set definitely have the nostalgic crafting 'stamp' of approval, perfect for your planner, notebook and journal. If there is one thing that gets me excited, it's finding nostalgic crafts that make me feel like a kid again. As an adult, the magic gets taken out of a lot of things, and it's hard for activities to invoke the same excitement as they did when we were young. Practical Magic Stamp Set features 13 x Rubber Stamps Wooden backings Ink not included ( sold separately here) Original Quirky Illustrations Made in PRC How to use your stamp Stamping is easy! But there is also a technique to it! Thankfully, the technique is easy to learn, but just make sure you do some practising before you go stamping in your pretty journals :) Practice on some scrap paper first! Make sure the ink pad and stamping canvas are on a flat and even surface. Firmly hold your rubber stamp and press gently and evenly onto the ink pad. Don't press the rubber stamp too hard against the ink pad as you will get ink on the rest of the rubber stamp. Press the rubber stamp on the paper with the same steadiness as the ink pad. Enough pressure to leave ink, but not enough for the edges to leave a mark. Remember to press your stamp at a completely horizontal angle, so it evenly applies the ink to the surface. How to care for your stamps Follow these recommendations to make sure you're getting the most out of your stamps. Clear the excess ink from the stamps by repeatedly pressing the stamp/s against a scrap piece of paper. Use a sponge or a gentle cloth with warm, soapy water to clean the rubber surface. Use a toothbrush if you need to get into smaller crevices on the rubber stamp. Pat dry with a clean cloth and make sure no lint or other particles remain on the rubber surface. Store away safely away in a clean and dry environment away from sunlight. Use alcohol-free baby wipes after each stamping use to prevent ink build-up between uses.
