CLEAR STAMP DIE STORAGE TIP

Good morning everyone.   Here is a quick tip of the day.  Clear stamps need to be conditioned before using and my method for that is quick and easy.  I used to file my new stamps away without conditioning and would condition as I used them.  Not good.  I couldn't remember which were conditioned and which weren't.  Here is a better method using my new button boutique set from  Papertreyink   http://www.papertreyink.com/Item.aspx?ID=2329

Here you can see that I have applied the labels to the outer covers

I cut off the label from the sticker to allow for more room

in the jewel case

I P-Touch a label 

Now this is my quick and easy tip.  BEFORE removing the stamps from

the acetate sheet, I use my fine nail file and go over every stamp.

That way they are all conditioned and I don't have to remember if

I conditioned them or not and it is so easy while they are 

still attached to the acetate.

Last step, file away by manufacturer.

I know this seems like a simple idea but it is one that has

saved me time and guesswork.
