Hello there my friends. I’m sharing How to Decorate Envelopes using stamps, inks and sprays because I love getting a pretty envelope in the mail. Decorating the envelope that matches your card or item you wish to mail brings a smile to the receiver.

The focus on the envelopes are these super cute stamps:  Happy Mail Stamps from Brutus Monroe. There are so many little stamps in this set that it makes it so fun to decorate an envelope.

Day 1 of 30 days of Thankful 2018

Here it is Day 1 of 30 days of Thankful 2018 challenge. The first prompt is: Who has helped you that you wish to thank? When I thought about this prompt I decided that I would also make a bookmark to give to the person I would write about. Why not give a little gift to the person that you are so thankful for their help in your life?

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. ~John E. Southard

Supplies used for the Day 1 of 30 days of Thankful 2018 journaling.
When I sat down and thought about the Day 1 of 30 days of Thankful 2018 prompt I thought about one person that has done so much for me over the years. That person is my mother-in-law. She has been a cheerleader and supporter of me on many endeavors and I’m so grateful for all the support she has given me.

Therefore, I decided that I would make a bookmark that she could use and be reminded that I’m thankful to have her in my life. Why not make a small card, bookmark or tag for the person that you wish to thank.

Day 1 of 30 days of Thankful 2018

 

Remember, the idea is to thank them, no need to go overboard with the gift. Just let them know how much you care.

Who will you write about in your journal today?

Mounting Rubber Stamps Tutorial

Sharing a Mounting Rubber Stamps Tutorial for those who have asked. When you get a new sheet of red rubber it may not be easy to understand how to mount them. Today I’ll show you how to mount the stamps using EZMount Foam from Crafter’s Companion.

Mounting Rubber Stamps Tutorial

Supplies used for this Mounting Rubber Stamps Tutorial.

When cling stamps won’t stick, it makes these hard to use. Try washing the stamp with a mild soap and water. Hand soap usually will work and clean up any dirt that is preventing the stamp from sticking to a mount.

Mounting Rubber Stamps TutorialIf after washing the stamp it still won’t stick try using a small amount of the Best Glue Ever and a paintbrush on the cling side of the stamp.

Mounting Rubber Stamps TutorialUse a small amount and use a paintbrush to spread the glue in a thin layer. Lay the stamp aside to air dry.

Mounting Rubber Stamps TutorialThe stamp will have a clear shiny look to it when the glue is dry. Place on your mounting choice and stamp away.

Got a sheet of rubber stamps that you want to mount? Check out the video, Mounting Rubber Stamps Tutorial.

In the video, I show how to cut the stamps apart using Fiskars Scissors coated with the Best Cleaner Ever. When cutting yours stamps make sure that you cut straight up and down. If you angle the blade of your scissors you could undercut your stamp mount and you won’t have a good impression.

Keep trimming the excess away until the image is clear of extra rubber. Mounting stamps is easier than you think, especially if using a temporary mounting system.
