From craft room to Kitchen: fast easy cleaning tips and a digital freebie!

I've got a few really great cleaning tricks today!  By now most of us that do spring cleaning are into it full bore or done.  I'm somewhere in between - We're in the process of remodeling our home -after is done.  One thing that really bugs me:  all the stickers they have plastered on my new appliances! Actually, most labels annoy me!
a cross country move.   I can deal with the big things, living out of boxes for 4 months and only now unpacking because some of the remodel
The ones that they put on the appliances seem to be the worst at getting off!  I grabbed my little bottle of Best Cleaner Ever and went to work.



 We spent $275 on a nice water cooler and I couldn't get the stickers off!






I tried Goo Gone and Un-do, all I could do was peel a bit of the edge back.

I gave the sticker one shot of Best Cleaner Ever waited for 20 minutes





The next thing and I know this sounds a little compulsive - but my kitchen will have open shelving and the hubby said:  "don't buy any more containers, but do something with the spices so they look nice".  I'm good with the not buying more containers, that stuff adds up!
So I thought why not try the Best Cleaner Ever on those labels!

I spritzed the label 


waited a half hour and it peeled right off!

Spice jars run around $3.00 each I have over 50 of these bottles! This little bottle will save you $$ by its powerful performance!
  Nice and clean, any residue wiped right off!



Before I took any of the pictures above I need to take care of my camera lens - it was dirty, finger prints, water droplets - who know, it was gross!  So I thought I have one of Scraperfects Perfect Cleaning Cloth that I usually use on my computer screen and Misti,                                                       I think I will try it on my camera lens!'



close up of the lovely plush towel, it cleaned up the lens beautifully!


Next onto my phone with the cleaning cloth.  My phone is so gross I hoped I'd never have to let someone use it - WAS embarrassing.  Not anymore!  my phone face looks like new!



The back is even better!  This poor phone left the roof of my car while                                                                 I was going down the highway 55 MPH and slid into a grassy gutter.


I wanted to share my success with you, these little things are such pains in the neck and these two products from Scraperfect help me get the job done in just a few minutes, they can help you too!  More time for FUN things!!
To say thank you for reading this whole post I have a fun freebie for you!
Enjoy!

I haven't had a chance to do my Spring cleaning yet....don't ask....I'm at my wits end! So if you have some spare time, you know my addy!!!! Labels can be soooo difficult, we recycle and have to get labels off by soaking or using a hairdryer. Good tip for USA Spring-cleaners! TFS!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
