CLEAN, ORGANIZE, GET CREATING ...

Winter is a great time of year to do what you'd call 'spring cleaning' for the rest of your home.  There are a few maintenance things you should do to keep your stamping/creating area working best for you.
1.  Clean your tools.
        - Use alcohol wipes to clean scissors blades or sticky dies.
        - Use hand sanitizer to clean acrylic blocks and acrylic plates for your Big Shot.
          (Just rub it on, clean off any glue residue, and dry with a clean paper towel.)
        - Clean off glue bottle tips.
        - Use alcohol wipes to clean your bone folder.
        - Use alcohol wipes and/or baby wipes to clean your paper trimmer.
        - Use baby wipes to clean your Silicone Craft Sheets.
          If they're really dirty, wash gently with soap and water.
        - Clean Stampin' Pierce mats with a baby wipe.
2.   Check if you need to sharpen any punches, using aluminum foil.
3.   Check if you need to order any new supplies.
4.   Clean Stamparatus with hand sanitizer (same as acrylic blocks).
      Use Stazon Cleaner to remove stubborn ink stains, then wipe with baby wipe.
5.   Use a soft shoe polishing brush to clean the grooves of your Simply Scored tool.
6.   Check if any ink pads need reinking.
      Add several drops of reindeer and smooth over surface of ink pad with a plastic spoon.
7.   Put things away, clean work surfaces and neaten up stamp storage, etc.
