Today’s quick tip video will teach, what I call, clear masking technique. This technique allows you to select any portion of a stamp, whether it’s text or images, and use your ink pad to stamp only those specific areas. Unlike a marker, this technique uses household tape. I’ve got tips along the way that will provide you with flawless and quick results.
Creating a mask in paper crafting equates to creating an area that will be hidden. It’s often used when one image is stamped on top of another. I have a video about general masking that you can view HERE. I’ve also created a video to teach you how to create a reverse mask that you can view HERE.

Office/Man Cave Renovation Update
Three weeks ago I shared that we were in the beginning stages of renovating Boo’s old bedroom, converting it into Bob the Builder’s office. If you missed the initial post and pictures I shared about the beginning of this transition you can view them HERE. The doors, trim and baseboards in our home are 18 years old and they are all oil-based paint which is now nearly obsolete. A simple “paint job” turned into priming and painting the baseboards, doors and trim. This one room took us 4 days!
Tile installation would take the place of flooring in our living room and the carpeting in the bedrooms.
Before the installation the tile guy said “you know it’s going to be dusty when we remove the old tile in the living room, right?” I had no idea what dusty meant until the day of demolition! If you look closely at my stove you can see where I wrote “help” and two hours later where Bob the Builder wrote “clean me”. The dust was unimaginable! It took Bob the Builder and I two 12-hour days to clean everything – and I do mean everything – every vent, wall, door, light fixture, piece of furniture, the drapes, and all decor pieces.
The following week we spent two days recuperating from the days of prep and cleaning but the end result is spectacular! We couldn’t be happier with our new floors!
Next up – more painting. After 4 days of priming and painting old oil-based doors, trim and baseboards in the office we have decided it’s best to hire a painting contractor to do the rest of the house. You know what that means – more moving furniture. I pray this next step is not nearly as messy!
