Good Tuesday to you and as promised I am sharing with you some more TIPS & TRICKS to inspire you! I know that you enjoyed the ones that I shared with you last week and I hope that this week you will be smiling too! 🙂
I do hope that you find these helpful and as I shared – there are times that you need to think about how we set up a kitchen….ALL DIFFERENT and just like your kitchen to my kitchen…what works for you might not work for me….and guess what – THAT IS OK!!!!!
Here you go…..please feel free to email me if you have any questions and also, feel free to leave a comment if you have tried any of these “remedies” before….we all enjoy seeing comments from so many (this is how we learn, grow and also get to know each other)
I totally realize that I am showing you items that are not Stampin’ Up!….but that’s ok….let’s go back to our kitchen….do you have all of the same items from the same company on your kitchen….NO!!!! I am just trying to help you with ease…..I am sure that you can find many similar products from your hometown stores….(I just love the ease of shopping online)
#1 – Do you remember on Sunday’s Post I said that I would share with you a secret weapon that helps me A BUNCH with Bakers Twine…..YEP ~ here you go….just “pull” your bakers twine through and it makes the BEST bows…the most “behaved” fru-frus!!! Here is a link from JoAnn Fabrics…LOVE IT!
#2 – A GREAT RULER…this is such a handy tool and one that I would never be without (the type A person that I am)…here is a link for you….but remember, you can probably find this at other places as well!
#3Â & #4Â ~ The next (2) are like Peanut Butter and Jelly to me….this has been a game changer for me as I realized that I forgot my Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Scrub on my trip! I have read from many bloggers that they find the “Absorber” to be a great product for cleaning their stamps and YES ~ it is…..again, I am sure that you can find similar products in stores near you…
Here is a link from Amazon.….I cut this into MANY smaller squares….One of these will last you a LONG time!!!!! Do not worry if it looks stained – being stained is GREAT as that means yo have been stampin’!!!! 🙂
Now this little gem is from The Container Store and again, you could use almost any container but I adore the shape of this! I admit, I bought (2) and have been using one for the use it was meant to be….for Onions and it is fantastic….no smells in my refrigerator!
If your towel dries out….just re~wet it and you are good to go!
There you go….4 more tips for you to make your Crafting love more enjoyable! I will share with you more next week! Please remember…these are just things that work for me…we all have differences in what we like or do not like…I just want to share what makes me smile! 🙂
Now to the FUN time of the week…..
It it is Tuesday and you know what that means….time for a new batch of Weekly Deals….click here to see the” new sale ~ bies” THANK YOU Stampin Up! for doing this for us! Enjoy the day and until tomorrow!

Oh great ! I collect rulers (seriously I must have eleven jillion ) I will have to get this one too ! And I have planned on getting some of that Bee`s Wax ….now I know where to find it . Last ,but not least my card swap pal ,Lisa just sent me THE ABSORBER ! I had bought a kinda like product ….did not like it ! Love this one !!
Thank you for your Tuesday Tips ! I love it !!
Have a fun day ….it was beautiful here in N.C. yesterday and I am sure it is summer like there for sure !!
Milo is going to have so much to tell all his doggie bunch when he gets back !!
Thanks for the tips. Years ago I did some “candle wicking” and used a bee’s wax candle to run over the thread before you made the knots. I had never thought to use it with the baker’s twine. Will give it a go. I am loving these Tuesday tips.
Well, wasn’t this fun! I have to admit I don’t even have a stamp cleaner scrub thing. I usually just use water and a paper towel. I do have Staz On cleaner though (hey, isn’t that like an oxymoron?). I can’t decide if I am just lazy or cheap. But, again I don’t stamp very much compared to all of you! Ruler, well, I have a couple favorites but they all seem to disappear – yeah, I know if I was organized that would help! This one looks interesting though and different from mine. Bees wax, I have some around here from needlework but it seems like maybe one of my dogs through the years found it and that was the end of that. Who knows? It just seems like that would be something right up Henry’s alley to steal from me. Now, that onion holder thing, I have always thought I needed one for the real purpose but never purchased one. Now, I tend to use the frozen chopped and bagged onions (hey, I said I was lazy!). All seem perfectly usable and pretty nifty! Oh, I think Mike does have one of those Absorbers now that I look at it. If I find it, I might have to cut off a piece and try using it.
Hi Susan: Great tips and products! I always find this interesting. I have recently seen my other blogger I follow recommend the absorber cloth too and so I am thinking I need to try it out for sure now that I see you using one. Color me interested!!!! ?
I love the “center-finder ruler” that I use. I probably got it at a quilt shop. You measure each side from the center. I found stainless steel on amazon but the clear is what we would use in stamping Works wonders! If anyone finds them online, please post.
Oh Susan, love your tips. I have a tip for your absorber, I use a plastic take and go Hugies Baby Wipe container for my absorber, open it totally up and clean stamps right in container, close and it keeps it damp and ready to use also easy to pack and go. Can’t wait o try that bees wax tip.
I have the absorber and it is fantastic. That is a neat idea for the beeswax and the twine. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful week.
I want the tomato keeper for tomatoes! LOL…. we have a container store in town. It opened up right after we agreed to a strict budget and no frivolous purchases, so I’ve never been. As for that grid ruler-LOVE MINE. I use it for all sorts of things. Got hubby an 18″ version.
I have the ruler and absolutely love it. I have used the bees wax when threading a needle but never thought about bakers twine…can’t wait to try it out and the other tips you gave us. Thanks, Susan!
Love the tips. Thanks for sharing!
