When you buy an ink pad that comes with a removable plastic liner in the lid (ie. STAZON), do NOT throw it away. Instead, put a GLUE DOT or double sided tape on the little ridge on the top center of this lid and then put the outer lid over it. The glue dot will hold the inner lid to the outer lid. Keeping the inner lid will help prevent your ink pad from drying out.
Good old waxed paper can enhance some of our products. Rub a piece on the paper you're going to dry emboss and the stylus tool or Empressor will slide smoothly over the paper. Do you have a punch that is sticking? Punch through some waxed paper a few time to lubricate your punch and make it easier to use!
Use unwaxed DENTAL FLOSS to remove paper you adhered in the wrong spot. Position the floss under the layer you want to remove and gently "saw" back and forth with the floss until it reaches the other side. There may be some "damage" to the paper, but it is usually hidden when you reposition the top layer.
