I rarely write product reviews (as in never), but this is a product definitely worth writing about.
You may not have noticed the "Simply Shammy" on page 206 of the new Stampin' Up catalog - it's not had much fanfare. I bought one with my last order and I'm so glad I did!
The Shammy is so simple - just dampen with water and it's ready to use. After stamping on your project, simply stamp a couple of times on the Shammy. The ink instantly comes out of all the little nooks and crannies and your stamp is clean, dry and ready for the next use. No scrubbing needed and absolutely no lint or any residue left behind like with baby wipes! The ink will stain the Shammy, but it won't transfer to your fingers or other stamps. I was "Simply" amazed!
The Shammy is a must-have to use with the Stamparatus. When your stamps are positioned and you need to clean them before changing colors, you need to clean them in place. Without the Shammy, your only other option is a baby wipe, which almost always leaves lint that transfers to your stamped image.
Because you can rinse it with water and use it over and over again, it's environmentally friendly. Even as the Shammy gets stained, it continues to work great. At just $8, it's friendly to your wallet, too!
I keep mine in a standard sized stamp case, which helps keep my work area clean & dry. I'm planning to order several more of these to give as small gifts to my stamping friends.
Does this replace the Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist Cleaner? I don't think so. Stampin' Mist contains conditioners to help maintain your red rubber stamps, and I will continue to use it on them when I finish a project. But for quick cleaning as I work, the Simply Shammy is my new favorite tool!
Such a simple idea that works great!
