Hello everyone! We've had some questions about the basics of stamping from our planner users so we put together a short video to show you how to use them.   We used a personal size Filofax page in the video but the stamps can be used on any planner. We used Fresh Ink but all pigment inks that dry on top of paper should work. Feel free to leave a comment if you have more questions!

We call this "conditioning the paper". 3. Wrap the conditioned paper on your finger tip...

Use foam adhesive to mount the pink backing card on the back of the scalloped opening.
