Hello Everyone,
My new uninked white ink pad has just arrived from Stampin’ Up! , so I thought I would pop on really quickly and show you how to ink it up ready to use. It comes uninked but does come with a white ink refill.
First of all you need to have a clear space. I would suggest having some protective covering on your workspace as it can get mucky.
Open up the ink pad and with the refill squeeze gently all over the pad.
Then with something like a bone folder smear the ink all over the pad so it soaks into the sponge.
I left mine for a little while to soak in.
Once it has soaked in just check to see if you need to add any more white ink. If not it’s all ready to use. Happy Stamping.

Herbie’s news
Herbie is loving going for walks where he can rummage through the leaves looking for treasure. He’s very happy as every week he takes over my Facebook page on a Wednesday with a challenge. He loves it when he gets lots of comments as he is rewarded with sausages.


Herbie has just come in to remind me it’s time to go for his walk and out for some sausages.
Until next time stay safe and happy crafting.
Fiona and Herbie
