Found these alphabet erasers at Target. So I’m making some stamps. Should I be snarky or sweet?

Snark is my mother tongue. :laughing:

That’s a cool idea turning them into stamps.

I posted this is the Junk Journal add-ins gallery post - there are lots of free images available on Collage Soup’s website. She publishes fantastic books in different themes - botanical, punk, all kinds. But she has free pages and downloads under the ebooks tab.There were also some ebooks for 99 cents that have over 50 pages of images and backgrounds. I used a sheet of cat faces to make some paper dolls but there are all the other animals and people and what ever you are looking for. The books are pricey but the content is great.

Sweetly snarky?
Remember to glue them on upside down! I always mess up letter stamps, lol

I’m finally almost though the case of blue shop towels I bought like 2 years ago and was thinking to try the viva papertowels I’ve seen recommended many places. It looks like there are a couple different kinds, which ones are the good ones? @geekgirl I think I remember you mentioning them at one point.

I used to use Viva paper towels when I was a cake decorator. if you let the icing set on the cake a bit you could use Viva towels to smooth out the icing and it didn’t leave fuzz. and they didn’t have a texture so didn’t leave an imprint. and they are pretty strong. I haven’t bought any in years so I am not familiar with different types. They used to only just have one type.

This is a small thing but I need some help. I bought a bunch of these foam stamps from sellers on Etsy & EBay for my preschoolers so I don’t know how old they are. Rubber Stampede is long gone so I come to you.

When I removed the stamp from the hang card, this happened. Should I try to fill in the crater? And what should I use?
