Come Make a Stamp Chuckie With Me!

-

Have you used a Stamp Chuckie with your MISTI or Stamp Platform?





You may be asking...."What is a stamp chuckie?"  I am sure a few of my friends are reading this blog right now about to text me and ask me if I've gone crazy and if I've started to imagine new products for stamping.

Nope, I have not and yes this is really a thing.  

Now, a stamp chuckie is used with a MISTI or stamp platform and instead of using your hand to rub the door of the stamp platform you use the handheld apparatus to smoosh the door down.  It gives you more pressure than your palm.  

I'll show you!

This is my handmade chuckie or helper for my stamp platform.








Supply List to make your own 

  • Candle or Jar lid
  • Gorilla Glue or E6000
  • CTMH ink refill
  • ModPodge
  • Circle Furniture moving pad


it is made of a yankee candle lid, I took the plastic pc off the lid, colored the lid by painting it with ModPodge and I mixed a few drops of a Close to My Heart ink refill in it to make it look like sea glass.  I then glued a furniture slider that had a felt covering on the bottom so that it wouldn't scratch my MISTI.

Furniture slider looks like this.  You can find them on Amazon or even at the .99 only store.




I got this idea from a video that Nancy Stamps put on YouTube, check her out, she shares a lot of great ideas.  

Trying out my tool.

I used Distress Oxide black soot and a close to my heart stamp set. (Bear Hugs)









Especially with stamps that are solid, its important to rub the outside of your MISTI when you press down on the stamp to get a really good impression.  This new tool helps with that.  

Don't want to make one?  There are commercial versions as well.  

Thanks for making a Chuckie with me!

Do you have any other ideas for these or any tips/tricks stamping?

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

  Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester.  The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate.   For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have.  I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work.  It didn't.   Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic.  Mix them together into a jar (I used a mason jar to keep the excess available.)  Pou

Come Craft With Me! I'm not sure why, but I LOVE foil and foiling.  I don't actually foil all that often but I love how it looks.  My husband bought me the Minc Foil machine for Valentines Day and I'm excited to play with it. I will go through each Foil tool below: (This is going to be a long blog post) Fun Foils by  Queen and Co. Nail Foil by Amazon Heatwave Pen by We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill for a cutting machine such as (Silhouette Cameo, Cricut) by We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill Freestyle which is a handheld foil writer by We R Memory Keepers Minc Foil Machine by Heidi Swapp Queen and Co. Fun Foils This foil sticks to sticky surfaces.  If you are not familiar with Queen & Co. they make super cute shaker card stuff.  The foil they came out with will stick to their shakers or really any sticky surface like tape or glue. you simply press the foil to the sticky surface and it is foiled.  Super simple, super easy.  Sometimes you do not get a good foiled surface so I a
