Dauber Dynamite—Getting Perfect Precision from Your Inks

Whenever I papercraft, I like to think about the purpose of the project. Will it be a documentation of the first day of school? A birthday invitation? A sympathy card? The purpose of a project makes a difference in the colors, papers, and stamp sets I choose. When I want to create a fun, festive look for a birthday card or party favors, I like to use sponge daubers to ink my stamps—it adds the perfect shaded touch in any color scheme. To see how to sponge daub stamp images, like the bold colors on this name card, watch the latest episode of the My Craft Channel online series “Clearly the Best.”

  1. I learned this technique with the Footloose workshop. It was loads of fun, and my customers all really enjoyed it, though we were all hesitant at first to try it. Love it! Oh, and can I just add that I think the Kristine and Monica are looking super fab!
