I'm not gonna lie, one of the products I will miss THE most from Close To My Heart, is our stamp pads. To be honest, it has been years since I used a Stampin' Up stamp pad and I found them hard to open, just like the previous design of the Close To My Heart pads. It has made the transition easier to know that Stampin' Up! has expressed that they are interested in switching to the CTMH design, but it will take a couple of years. They have to find a vendor that can meet the high volume demand and it takes time to make a shift like that.
Thankfully I can help my customers through this transition by showing where the CTMH colors work well alongside the Stampin' Up! colors, but there are some cases where I'm just going to NEED the Stampin' Up! pads, right?! I mean, I wouldn't be a good demonstrator if I didn't try them and compare them, right? This is my justification for investing in one of the sets of Stampin' Up! pads. haha!
Good news is that I figured out a cool hack to make them easier to slide when opening them! I've used this hack when I have 3D prints that have sliding parts; like a pencil box. I used my Snap Stick Snap & Zipper lubricant and it worked like a charm!!
In the video below I share the following tips:
- Two ways to open the stamp pad
- How to use the Snap Stick to make the pads easier to slide
- How to apply the stickers in additional spots on the pad.
Are you going to try this hack or have you done something similar? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
