Stamp Won't Stamp? Do This!

Isn't it frustrating when your stamps won't stamp? Sometimes the problem is your stamp, sometimes the ink pad, and sometimes it's just because the stamp is brand new. When I have a problem with a stamp stamping properly, there is a series of steps I take to get it working. Watch along here to see how I first clean the stamp with water, clean it with stamp cleaner, and stamp onto scrap paper with a twisting motion. If these steps don't work, I get out my Stampin Pierce foam pad and place it underneath, which often solves the problem. Lastly, I check to see if the ink pad has too much ink on it, and if so I have a handy trick to get it working as well. Watch along for some quick troubleshooting tips for when your stamp won't stamp! #cardmaking #handmadecards #cardmakingtipsandtricks Get photos and my elderberry syrup recipe here! https://www.scrappingstampingandstuff.com/stamp-wont-stamp/ *Affiliate links Buy elderberries: https://get.aspr.app/SHEJq Buy elderberry syrup: https://get.aspr.app/SHEJs Buy ultra elderberry syrup: https://get.aspr.app/SHEJr ———————— Supplies ———————— • Trucking Along Bundle (English) [162306] —— https://bit.ly/3uJv1jU • Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [162299] —— https://bit.ly/3uKk7KI • Trucking Along Builder Punch [162305] —— https://bit.ly/47YD22G • Heartfelt Hexagon Punch [162888] —— https://bit.ly/480PoHt • Modern Oval Punch [162234] —— https://bit.ly/4a1SX26 • Elegant Edge Tag Topper Punch [161287] —— https://bit.ly/3R6kcQk • Handmade Tag Punch [159690] —— https://bit.ly/3bOE3CR • Very Best Trio Punch [159878] —— https://bit.ly/3OlsuAt • 2 3/8" (6 Cm) Circle Punch [161354] —— https://bit.ly/3LWyVe0 • Les Shoppes 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [161322] —— https://bit.ly/3RpBUzJ • Let's Go Fishing 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [161534] —— https://bit.ly/3NI357m • Winter Meadow 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [162133] —— https://bit.ly/4a817WS • 2022–2024 In Color™ 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Textured Specialty Paper [161747] —— https://bit.ly/3HFDLv1 • Distressed Gold 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Paper [159237] —— https://bit.ly/3bwqPu2 • Lemon Lime Twist 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [144245] —— https://bit.ly/3nmUo7K • Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] —— https://bit.ly/2PvnWvl • Mossy Meadow 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [133676] —— https://bit.ly/3BrHqar • Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [120953] —— https://bit.ly/2DJFz8g • Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] —— https://bit.ly/3blMpyg • Boho Blue 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [161724] —— https://bit.ly/3AK8bIv • Petal Pink 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146985] —— https://bit.ly/3Lif4oy • Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [153081] —— https://bit.ly/3hmXpvX • Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [121045] —— https://bit.ly/2PuIEM3 • Many Marvelous Markers [147154] —— https://bit.ly/3akDXh7 • Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154830] —— https://bit.ly/3lwrTA2 • Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154891] —— https://bit.ly/37kk4q3 • Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154892] —— https://bit.ly/3fv2HV2 • Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [159220] —— https://bit.ly/3eGjcTG • Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154882] —— https://bit.ly/33y7MJZ • Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154904] —— https://bit.ly/3yEaRGu • Basic Black Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154843] —— https://bit.ly/3LvDqhj • Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad [153118] —— https://bit.ly/30x4IMi • Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad [147084] —— https://bit.ly/3gNzu9v • Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad [147089] —— https://bit.ly/3ikD3nB • Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad [147090] —— https://bit.ly/2XCkt2t • Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad [147101] —— https://bit.ly/3hgjITO • Parakeet Party Classic Stampin' Pad [159208] —— https://bit.ly/3KCOghh • Boho Blue Classic Stampin' Pad [161650] —— https://bit.ly/44koxFm • Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Pad [147105] —— https://bit.ly/2Fcjekw • Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Pad [147113] —— https://bit.ly/2QtKptc • Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad [147116] —— https://bit.ly/33GhEBc • Uninked Stampin’ Craft Pad & Whisper White Refill [147277] —— https://bit.ly/3MK3YIS • Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad [147094] —— https://bit.ly/2EUrxBh • Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins [160387] —— https://bit.ly/3GsdizL • Stampin' Seal+ [149699] —— https://bit.ly/31rlF9Z • Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] —— https://bit.ly/33yBmip • Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] —— https://bit.ly/2XANCv2 • Paper Snips [103579] —— https://bit.ly/33Ac5nW • Bone Folder [102300] —— https://bit.ly/31qu65F • Paper Trimmer [152392] —— https://bit.ly/2PwBiYs • Simply Shammy [147042] —— https://bit.ly/2Oz4CQu • Stampin' Pierce Mat [126199] —— https://bit.ly/2EQWG8q • Stampin' Scrub [126200] —— https://bit.ly/3C6UBQL • Stampin' Mist [153648] —— https://bit.ly/3C93aui • Clear Block D [118485] —— https://bit.ly/3UG7nwV
