Tips from the show

• Clean stencils easily with a baby wipe or a little water—no soap needed.
• You don't need to use a lot of spray ink to create the effect; a little goes a long way.
• If the stencil moves during stamping, simply line it back up and continue—the Eureka platform keeps it in place.
