Maple Leaf TH Grip mat

I use Tim Holtz's grey coloured grip mat. I cut it to the size of the platform and laid it in place. It stays stuck to the platform and your cardstock stays in place thanks to the grip mat. Never had...

I store mine upside down. I find it less frustrating to have the product at the nib ready to go rather than squeezing and waiting for it to flow to the nib. Seems to also keep them from drying out as...

Maple Leaf Press and Seal

I agree about using wrap but use Press and Seal not Saranwrap. Both Tim Holtz and Jennifer McGuire as well as some other well known makers only recommend Press and Seal. Also, ensure that the Press...

I do Gina K's suggestion for prepping a stamp for first use. Attach it to your block or stamping platform, then rub your fingers or palm over it a few times. This removes the oils that naturally...

Maple Leaf Gina K Connect

I swear by Gina K's Connect glue. You don't need a lot. It has a slightly longer dry time that allows you to slide your paper into the exact spot you want it. It is amazing for sticking down sequins...
