To create a distressed, aged appearance, a Vintage Ink Spot should be drier than a Classic Stampin' Pad. When it's too dry–that is, the ink applies more lightly than you like on your projects–you should re-ink the Spot. To re-ink your Vintage Ink Spot, do the following: Using the eyedropper in the Vintage Ink Refill, apply ink one drop at a time in equal, thin stripes on the pad. Do not saturate the pad; it needs to be drier than a Classic Stampin' Pad. Let the ink settle into the pad for a few minutes before continuing.  Using the edge of an old credit card, drag the ink diagonally across the pad from corner to corner. This will ensure that the ink is heavier in some places than others, which is necessary to create a distressed appearance. Blot lightly with a paper towel to remove excess ink.

Look what else: Buy two Simply Sent Kits and get a FREE coordinating stamp set! Our Simply Sent Kits are the ideal choice for the beginning crafter. The card kits offer a variety of basic themes, so it's easy to create cards for any occasion.

And there's more:  The clearance rack has NEW items!! Don't forget about my Country Dozen Rewards when you are shopping.

I'm not done yet, there is even more:

Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps are a brand-new product that will appeal to crafters and non-crafters, alike–not to mention kids!

The easy-to-use cookie stamp has a solid wood handle with three interchangeable stamp images: a heart, a jack-o-lantern, and a snowflake.

Just make your favorite shortbread cookie dough (or one of the two included recipes) and stamp away! Create beautiful, hand-stamped cookies in a flash. The stamp images are completely food-safe and child-friendly.

Now wasn't this post just full of information?  I am so tired, I gotta go eat a cookie…after I stamp it of course.

I'll be back tomorrow to share a cute card.

Have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping in.
