Something I learned when I was on a more frugal budget years ago...old CD cases work as stamping blocks in a pinch...used a CD case as a block for my handmade wedding stationary.
Thank you! I have been waiting for this set of classes. My husband without telling me bought several hundred stamps,pads,rollers,embossing powder etc.He brought them home as a surprise for me. I have never stamped or made cards so I'm anxious to start.
This is the best video for beginners! Thank U so much Lindsay. I've collected a lot of stamps and ink pads over the past several years from the Goodwill. I will now be separating them into different categories. I can't wait to get started using the stamps on cards, scrapbooking and for school projects for the kids.
Hi Lindsay, I cannot thank you enough. I have learnt more from this video than I have in the last year. I now know which inks go with which pencils, which cardstock to use n how to think about stamps n storage. I dont have to have the very best makes n everything I will need in the future ALL before I make my first card. You are a diamond, n im gonna luv these videos. Thank you again Luv from the UK ❤
Hi Lindsay, Thanks for the video. You are a joy to watch and you always have a cheery smile on your face, I always learn something, and that is the main thing in life, looking forwards to tomorrow, Cheers Anna.
I just finished watching another video of ours and this one auto-played right after so I left on while I'm crafting and I just heard when you say to give you thumbs up if we think you're a lunatic and I laughed like the first time I watched it a month ago. Then I look up at the screen and sure enough you have 1,049 thumbs up! LOL We love you Lindsay!
Thank you so much! I've never done any stamping or card making, but I've been curious about it for a long time. I really appreciate your honesty and how you show different techniques and supplies with my budget in mind. I've looked at other craft videos and they were more focused on making a sale than inspiring viewers!
I never realized that you had so much products from Stampin up!!!! My sister went to a Stampin up party over 20 years ago and we have been hooked ever since!!!!! I now have a huge craft room ( filled) thanks for the tutorial it's good to go back to basics some times.
Wow! I can barely remember when I started stamping! I think it has been close to 15 years now, and I'm still learning new things from you. :) I love the Rock-a-Block stamp holders; they stamp such a nice image. Most of my older stamps on are wood blocks and I'm so tempted to take them off the blocks and put them in notebooks like yours, but I'd never be able to throw away the pretty wood blocks. LOL Now I only buy the unmounted stamps. I have always had the problem of buying duplicate stamps so I laid my stamp blocks picture side down on the scanner of my copy machine/printer and made pages of stamp pictures for a notebook. Then I could take it with me to the store to see if I already had a stamp before buying a new one. Can't wait to see what you are going to cover next time; love your videos.
Lindsay, I just LOVE your videos. I'm more of a card table in the corner of the guest room kind of a girl, but I love to hoard supplies. So interesting to see your studio. Am right in the middle of your precious Mothers Day seed packets (sorta missed THE day) but friends will enjoy receiving them, I know! Having such fun. Thank you for your wonderful work!!!! You do a fabulous job of teaching.
I scrapbook and have dabbled in card making but never really got into it. Now I've been searching for all kinds of information, I wish I found you earlier. I did go out and spend a huge amount to get supplies because I wanted to take card making to the next level. I will definitely be looking forward to your next class and whati can learn from you. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting this series! I'm truly a beginner as I just started stamping and cardmaking last month. I've already spent too much buying a bunch of different things to try so many techniques that I've seen online, without really knowing what to get and how to choose. Your videos are wonderful and you've got such a great attitude and sweet personality. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Carolyn Visco Don't worry, we will put those supplies to good use! You wil be glad to have them and it always costs more when you begin a hobby, your spending will slow:)
So awesome that you are doing this series of stamping classes! The first class was great and I'm looking forward to the next class. You're a great teacher. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent start, Lindsay. Thanks to your past advice, when I see a stamp I like, I always stop and ask myself how many ways can I use it. That alone has saved me money more than once.
Hi Lindsay. I love your stamp school video. I love stamping ,,but I have a lot to learn. you are the perfect teacher. Can't wait for the next class. Keep em coming.
Ice coffee in NYCity and your you tube videos is aaaalll I need! And then, of course stamp the heck out of my summer preparing for the rest of the year festivities, school sales and what not! Thank you for bringing all the best in crafting!
Fantastic video for those of us just getting started! Love your attitude and personality! Also I am in awe of your crafting palace and even more in awe that you know exactly where every item is. Thanks for posting!
I love this video, Lindsay! I was never into stamping until recently. I saw so many of your watercolor videos and I never knew it could be so versatile but I was scared of it. I found some permanent inks and tried stamping then using watercolor to fill it in and I love both now! I he branched out to drawing and watercolor and stamping so many things in so many ways. I just want you to know you have truly inspired me and got me out of my comfort zone. I wil never have to buy another greeting card. it also helps with calming anxiety. Keep doing what you're doing and I thank you and appreciate you and your videos so very much! 😊❤🎨
Noah Murphy exactly how I feel I am so happy knowing that I'll never have to buy another greeting card again. Lindsay is the best she inspires me so much and helps me believe in myself :)
First day of summer school and I love my first class "Basic Supplies". Newbie stamper here - but have already gone crazy last 6 months buying supplies - now I will be able use them without getting so frustrated. Thanks for taking time to start with the basics. BJ
Oh goody! I could use a basics review, and it's great for my summer ahead! Thanks, Lindsay! Being a grammar teacher, I always say you can't beat the basics!
I have tried stamping once before, but I didn't know exactly how to do it. After watching this one, which I think it is great, and others I am planning on trying it again. But I will watch your videos. I just love when you act silly and laugh. Being like that helps a student or person in learning something. I will be buying some stamps and other supplies.
Hi Lindsay, I am into stamping and carding making in a big way and use a lot of other media.....I've watched this entire tutorial and as promised, your information is great and informative and frugal...Thanks for this - most enjoyable.
My grand-daughters are learning about stamping, how to use watercolors, colored pencils etc. Even though I have been doing some sort of art for years, getting them started with the basics, well, I kind of suck at that, cause I am a, "if I like I buy it" kinda person... This video is both helpful for me getting them started and a good refresher course at the same time. Thanks! Can't wait to see what your girls are going to do on the kids crafting channel!
I can see why you are proud of them! What an awesome job, and they handle the tools of crafting like pros. I also like the way they handle the "oops" moments, crafting should always be fun no matter what the age. You have taught them well! :-)
love your stamp school!!! I like to store my ink pads with their reinkers in zip lock baggies and keep separate by color family. That is just something that works for me. I store my stamps as you do and think it is just so easy to pull them down to go through and see what you have and/or need to use. and as Noah stated you are so inspiring and sharing with your talents and time! We appreciate you!!
Hi Lindsay, I watch all of your videos, and I love them! I have been stamping for many years now but I know you can always learn new things, so I am very happy about your new series and thankful that you take your time to share your many talents with us. I have especially enjoyed watching your watercoloring videos, and I have learned so much thanks to you. You have the most precious, funny little personality that keeps me coming back for more. You definitely have a fan from L.A. (That's Lower Alabama, by the way!)
OHH i also had passed by a box on curbside that was full of books a coupe o spiril refiller type and a bunch of empty cD cases to which i brought home i make paper beads,,, and i thought well i am sure i can find something fun to make with cd cases,,well they can be my storage for small stamps!!!
As always, your videos are very informational! I appreciate the information about the different types of stamps and how to store them, the differences and attributes of each and also, about choosing stamps to get the most use out of them. Thank you, Lindsay!
I love your channel........it's like a chocoholic stepping into Willy Wonka's house. You always lift my spirits no matter how tough my day has been. Thanks so much for that!!!!
Lindsay, I love your lunacy! Even though I've been stamping a while, I loved this video. You have a lot of great advice. When I was a beginner stamper, my friend recommended I get a Versamark pad, so that I could do tone on tone stamping and wouldn't need to buy a bunch of colored ink pads right away.
Thanks for mentioning this I favorite things video in the comments. I just viewed episode one and will continue to view the rest. I am learning lots, even having been crafting and card making a few years Thx you made my day 😊
Viki Victoria I was just about to comment this. I must have a retired stamper or a stamp obsessed person here in my town because i started my collection finding a few bags and now everytime i go there i have to limit myself to one or 2 bags because theyre always loaded with bags of stamps. lol
Viki Victoria not goodwill..i.was there yesterday and several items still had their original price on them...for example one was 1.99 AT THE STORE THAT ORIGINALLY SOLD IT but cost 4.99 AT GOODWILL...the stickers qere still on it...i took pictures to show people......I went around looking and a cheap plastic worn out box cost 2x the amount for a new one at walmart!!! Sooo i dont shop there...there is a reason the employees all.wear.gloves too....if u only knew the amount of dog and cat...hopefully its dog and cat i suppose it is...shit ....that arrives there..and WORSE....YES MUCH WORSE..and these days they actually chsrge more than regular stores...
Your timing couldn't have been better for this video! I just discovered Pocket Letters and I want to add some stamping to my designs.....but I didn't know the first thing about stamping....I do now! :) Thank you!!!
Hi Lindsay, Thanks for this series I know it will be very helpful to me. Of all the videos I watch you by far are the most knowledgable. Wow you must have crafted up a storm your whole life. I am in awe!! Also very impressed with your very generous and supportive philosophy of "all boats rising". That's not always found in the world today. Could you review brushes for painting different mediums, water, acrylic, etc and what brands are the best investments. Again, thanks for all you do and all you share. el
Thank you for doing this series. I have shared the link with my friends via Facebook and Twitter.. A few of them are too shy to come to crops because they don't know the basics. No excuses now. 😀
I am so glad your doing this series, I'm new to stamping and card making but love to be creative and i think i have found my niche... Sooooo looking forward to the rest of the video's, u do such i great job and very enjoyable to listen to... Thanks again!!!
Am looking forward to this. Love to colour in but am not an artist. I do what I feel is right which doesn't always come out right. Know there are techniques that I am not aware of.
this is an awesome series too...I'm primarily a watercolor artist focusing on travel inspired and cultural art. I think some texture stamps like animal prints and henna designs will get reused a lot...thanks again!
Yippi Skippi!! So kool. A whole summer of stamping, working with color, learning techniques that will help ME to look more professional. AND, I am guessing that a whole lot of these lessons will be useful in color savvy with my budding watercoloring 'stuff.' Thank you Lindsay sooooo much. One Stop Schooling - no more hopping around on YT wondering when I'll find that one technique that will work like a charm for lots of projects. Also Art Neko is the cat's meow for shopping artsie stuff - even to me here in Germany. This husband and wife team goes the extra mile, and they are so down to earth, very kind and oh so caring... I will have to sit tight on my energy level to wait for the next episode - maybe less butter in my one cup of morning jo? OH! maybe just keep the butter and work on getting my studio better organized! YES! that's what I'll do! Later Chick-a-Dee. ;) BTW loved the French braids this morning... pqh
Hi Lindsay, I'd like to try stamping and this video is really helpful. I will watch all the series in order to get even more precious advices. Thank you :)
Great idea!!! Stamp school. Wish I'd have something like this many years ago when I was starting out. Mostly Stampinup when I started. But now have almost as many supplies as the stamp store does. LOL Anyway, love your new stamp school. Edna
The bad thing is...I'm not really a scrapbooker, but I have TONS of stamps, punches and papers that I get on sale because they are cute and I think...I will get time to make things one day. hahaha. When I moved recently, I took so much stuff to work to sell off, everyone was asking if I wasn't stamping anymore. The sad truth? I still have tons of stamps and craft stuff. hahaha. Anyway, what is the best way to clean your stamps? Thanks for the video. It's always fun watching you. You're energy is contagious.
A lot of good information Lindsay only for years now I buy things because they look so good to me:-) I'm not sure how to stop myself because I'm too old to have control. Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching and listening to you. Also I learn things, thank you, Joyce
Awesome advice and video. I've been stamping for years, but I remember how hard it was to get started. I recently wrote an article about getting started with card making and rubberstamping. I'm going to add your video to it. Your advice will be very helpful to my readers.
WOW so wish i had found you a few years ago i have spent so much on crafting it's unreal, the worst is going on ebay as being on a budget and know the full price of things i will buy as know i have a bargain lol but the trouble is it's everywhere i'm trying to organize it all but not getting anywhere. with having mental health illnesses just love all of it but getting out of control now, so wish there was someone like you that lived near me i'm in u.k that could come and help sort it i have given loads to charity and also to the recovery hub i go to ahhhhh i will watch all your video's hun maybe learn some tricks plus lots of tips on making cards so happy i have found you xxxx sorry for long post
This is great! I've wanted to try stamping but I had no idea what would be the best way to start without spending tons of money. Thank you for doing this. :)
LOOVE your videos. I'm a newbie to the planner community but have always loved crafting. Do you have any tips for clear stamps that won't stick on the clear sheets they come with ? I have a few stamps that won't stick to the sheet and I'd hate to lose any of the small pieces.
Lyndsay hi where do I find the video of you making the new black blotter for your desk? Love your videos you're a great teacher Thankyou hope you have an awesome day👍😊🌅
I so enjoy your videos even when they are not meant for me, a seasoned stamper...I watch to the very end cause I love your energy and often still pick up a tip here or there...by the way, I love your hair today.... TFS Anita
thanks for sharing this vid,,i kind of giggled when you talked about beginners and storage,i also make jewelry and now have branched out into making dream catchers loom knittting now scrapbooking which is actually going to be a mixed media for my dream catchers and mobiles,, ohh the giggling,,sory side tracked,,when you said box,, i remember i fist started the all and above,,,i had 3 shoe boxes, one for tools one for beads AND charms one for stringing material,, in less than a year i graduated and quite quickly to multi drawer storages.,,i have a rattan 6 drawer strictly for my stringing and wire,,my 3 boxes turned into a whole room,,now that i added this to the mix i am scared so i just ordered 2 ..yes 2 storage craft drawer i saw on sale from montgomery wards,, i didnt want to wait for my curbside freebies drawers, or book case like i usually do,i have also collected from the curb ,thhose wooden stands that u can place plastic boxes at an angel,,they only have the rack itself,i am pretty resourceful,,yes shoe boxes,,so i will return to your lesson,,ohh i forgot,,i used to have my desk and craft items in livingroom, i took a block of spac and closet for this, but i have cronic pain issues so i decided to move my bedroom to the larger livingroom and made bedroom the craft room,,unfortunately during the change over the NEW BED room got set up nicely,,but things kind of got pushed into the nEW Craft room which now looks like a craft store threw up in it,,,hence the purchase of the 2 new craft storage drawers!!! i love repurposing, not only cost effective i love double duty!! less things going into landfill,,,,so i would love to see some HACKS and DIY for double duty or just plain old,,i spent all the money i have on beads so i want new scrap booking stamping materials!!!sorry was so lengthy of a post wil be subscribing!!!! wis me luck.. for ALL OF the ABOVE!!!
thank you Lindsay! Ive been watching your videos for some time now. I do all kinds of crafts ( my favorite are recycling projects) but i have an interest in stamping, so I will be watching all of the stamping videos. Thank you so much for posting them. Also I would like to say, that I love to see in your videos when you mention other crafters that have RUclips channels that I am subscribed to. It is so nice to hear you mention mark from make your mark or socraftastic.! i feel like "oh Im Friends with them too". lol you're a great inspiration. Any tips on getting organized. I have a craft desk and it is always a mess.

Excellent advice! I've been stamping for over 30 years and even I learned something from what you shared. Thank you!
Something I learned when I was on a more frugal budget years ago...old CD cases work as stamping blocks in a pinch...used a CD case as a block for my handmade wedding stationary.
That's a great idea! I just bought bigger stamps than my small acrylic block! Thanks!!
Thank you! I have been waiting for this set of classes. My husband without telling me bought several hundred stamps,pads,rollers,embossing powder etc.He brought them home as a surprise for me. I have never stamped or made cards so I'm anxious to start.

Wow, take a breath. Great job. Went over all the basic supplies in 19 minutes. That must be a record.
Thank-you Lindsay for your time and effort.
I just finished watching another video of ours and this one auto-played right after so I left on while I'm crafting and I just heard when you say to give you thumbs up if we think you're a lunatic and I laughed like the first time I watched it a month ago.

I can see why you are proud of them! What an awesome job, and they handle the tools of crafting like pros. I also like the way they handle the "oops" moments, crafting should always be fun no matter what the age. You have taught them well! :-)
Wow! I'm so happy I found this channel! I needed a 101!
thank you!
You are SO HELPFUL AND TALENTED!!! Thank you for considering beginners!!!
love your stamp school!!! I like to store my ink pads with their reinkers in zip lock baggies and keep separate by color family. That is just something that works for me.

Jan Phat thanks!
Always enjoy and learn from your videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Very informative and practical.
Wonderful video Lindsay, very informative. Thank you so much for doing this series.
OHH i also had passed by a box on curbside that was full of books a coupe o spiril refiller type and a bunch of empty cD cases to which i brought home i make paper beads,,, and i thought well i am sure i can find something fun to make with cd cases,,well they can be my storage for small stamps!!!
As always, your videos are very informational! I appreciate the information about the different types of stamps and how to store them, the differences and attributes of each and also, about choosing stamps to get the most use out of them. Thank you, Lindsay!
Definitely agree with buying a set that’s versatile over specialized. The first stamp I bought was a motorcycle and I’ve never used it 😂
I love your channel........it's like a chocoholic stepping into Willy Wonka's house. You always lift my spirits no matter how tough my day has been. Thanks so much for that!!!!
Great idea, Lindsay. Nice to have some basic techniques videos to get people started. I look forward to seeing more on the stamp school!
Shoshi
Shoshi Platypus thanks!
WOW1! Thanks Lindsay,I need more lessons like that !bring on number two!
This answered questions I've had, especially re: the ink and markers. Thanks!
Lindsay, I love your lunacy! Even though I've been stamping a while, I loved this video. You have a lot of great advice. When I was a beginner stamper, my friend recommended I get a Versamark pad, so that I could do tone on tone stamping and wouldn't need to buy a bunch of colored ink pads right away.
Here I go! I'm excited, thank you!!!
Thanks for mentioning this I favorite things video in the comments. I just viewed episode one and will continue to view the rest. I am learning lots, even having been crafting and card making a few years Thx you made my day 😊
Great!
So helpful, thanks! I'm looking forward to more episodes in this series.
Just found your Stamp School series. Yeah! I've got a ton of stamps, used hardly any of them, because I just don't know where to start. Thanks!!
Wow! What a world of great information! Thank you👍🏻☺️
Thrift stores are a great place to get a stamp inventory without spending a lot of money.
I've looked. never been lucky :/
Viki Victoria I was just about to comment this. I must have a retired stamper or a stamp obsessed person here in my town because i started my collection finding a few bags and now everytime i go there i have to limit myself to one or 2 bags because theyre always loaded with bags of stamps. lol
I not lucky in that way either........but I keep looking anyway!! HA!!
Viki Victor
Viki Victoria not goodwill..i.was there yesterday and several items still had their original price on them...for example one was 1.99 AT THE STORE THAT ORIGINALLY SOLD IT but cost 4.99 AT GOODWILL...the stickers qere still on it...i took pictures to show people......I went around looking and a cheap plastic worn out box cost 2x the amount for a new one at walmart!!!

I'm super glad your starting this!

I am in awe!! Also very impressed with your very generous and supportive philosophy of "all boats rising". That's not always found in the world today. Could you review brushes for painting different mediums, water, acrylic, etc and what brands are the best investments.
Again, thanks for all you do and all you share.

Great advise for beginners. Thank you
Thanks Lindsay as Always Great Info.
Thank you for doing this series. I have shared the link with my friends via Facebook and Twitter.. A few of them are too shy to come to crops because they don't know the basics. No excuses now. 😀
Excellent video Lindsay! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Yay, I'm looking forward to this series. I'm new at stamping and you are my personal guru. Thanks as always!
Thank you for the ideas.
Wish I could have seen a video like this when I first started stamping. Great job!
I am so glad your doing this series, I'm new to stamping and card making but love to be creative and i think i have found my niche... Sooooo looking forward to the rest of the video's, u do such i great job and very enjoyable to listen to... Thanks again!!!
I'd be really keen to see a lesson on cleaning the different types of stamps? Both quick in between cleans and a proper deep clean?
Twerpy Turtle will do! I will go over that in next weeks class!
Am looking forward to this. Love to colour in but am not an artist. I do what I feel is right which doesn't always come out right. Know there are techniques that I am not aware of.
Jean Cormac there are new techniques to everyone, I'll share what works for me!
This was a really useful video. Wish there was a video like this before I started and spent a bunch of my money on stuff that never got used again.
Bia Makani I hope you kept it because we will put it to good use!
Thankyou! Helped this newbie out. You are really great at the video thang.
this is an awesome series too...I'm primarily a watercolor artist focusing on travel inspired and cultural art.
I think some texture stamps like animal prints and henna designs will get reused a lot...thanks again!
Great information, was really interested in how you store your stamps in your binders.
You are so wonderful, I love watching your videos. Thanks !
thank you!
Always love your videos.
Yippi Skippi!! So kool. A whole summer of stamping, working with color, learning techniques that will help ME to look more professional. AND, I am guessing that a whole lot of these lessons will be useful in color savvy with my budding watercoloring 'stuff.' Thank you Lindsay sooooo much. One Stop Schooling - no more hopping around on YT wondering when I'll find that one technique that will work like a charm for lots of projects. Also Art Neko is the cat's meow for shopping artsie stuff - even to me here in Germany. This husband and wife team goes the extra mile, and they are so down to earth, very kind and oh so caring... I will have to sit tight on my energy level to wait for the next episode - maybe less butter in my one cup of morning jo? OH! maybe just keep the butter and work on getting my studio better organized! YES! that's what I'll do! Later Chick-a-Dee. ;) BTW loved the French braids this morning... pqh
thank you sooooooo much Lindsay!!!!!! I wanted to start stamping but didn't know how to.... this is a great video. waiting for more...XOXO
Hi Lindsay, I'd like to try stamping and this video is really helpful. I will watch all the series in order to get even more precious advices. Thank you :)
Brilliant Info Lindsay!! Thank you so much great video as alway!!!! Hugs Liz x
Great Video, good to go back to basics sometimes as a refresher!
I was thinking about starting stamping. This was very helpful!
Great idea!!! Stamp school. Wish I'd have something like this many years ago when I was starting out. Mostly Stampinup when I started. But now have almost as many supplies as the stamp store does. LOL Anyway, love your new stamp school. Edna
You are such an amazing teacher , I can't wait until next class
The bad thing is...I'm not really a scrapbooker, but I have TONS of stamps, punches and papers that I get on sale because they are cute and I think...I will get time to make things one day. hahaha. When I moved recently, I took so much stuff to work to sell off, everyone was asking if I wasn't stamping anymore. The sad truth? I still have tons of stamps and craft stuff. hahaha. Anyway, what is the best way to clean your stamps? Thanks for the video. It's always fun watching you. You're energy is contagious.
Sparkle by Monica A baby wipe or a towel with water and baby shampoo works great!
A lot of good information Lindsay only for years now I buy things because they look so good to me:-) I'm not sure how to stop myself because I'm too old to have control. Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching and listening to you. Also I learn things, thank you, Joyce
***** we will help you get them used:)
Do you have a crafts binder if not, maybe you should do a video on one pretty please love all you do, God Bless you always
Thank you so much! I am starting to stamp!

Kathryn Lucas thanks!
Great tutorial Lindsay, learned a lot. TFS, Yvonne
Awesome advice and video. I've been stamping for years, but I remember how hard it was to get started. I recently wrote an article about getting started with card making and rubberstamping. I'm going to add your video to it. Your advice will be very helpful to my readers.
P.S. I Love You Scrapbooking I appreciate it, thanks!
WOW so wish i had found you a few years ago i have spent so much on crafting it's unreal, the worst is going on ebay as being on a budget and know the full price of things i will buy as know i have a bargain lol but the trouble is it's everywhere i'm trying to organize it all but not getting anywhere. with having mental health illnesses just love all of it but getting out of control now, so wish there was someone like you that lived near me i'm in u.k that could come and help sort it i have given loads to charity and also to the recovery hub i go to ahhhhh i will watch all your video's hun maybe learn some tricks plus lots of tips on making cards so happy i have found you xxxx sorry for long post
Julie Hasell u think this expensive..try sugar craft...then ya gotta get people to eat it..lol...im too fat as it is..
This is great! I've wanted to try stamping but I had no idea what would be the best way to start without spending tons of money. Thank you for doing this. :)
LOOVE your videos. I'm a newbie to the planner community but have always loved crafting. Do you have any tips for clear stamps that won't stick on the clear sheets they come with ? I have a few stamps that won't stick to the sheet and I'd hate to lose any of the small pieces.
Lyndsay hi where do I find the video of you making the new black blotter for your desk?
Love your videos you're a great teacher Thankyou hope you have an awesome day👍😊🌅
It’s a wonderful happy You make it look so exciting
Thanks a lot for the class! Loved it!
I so enjoy your videos even when they are not meant for me, a seasoned stamper...I watch to the very end cause I love your energy and often still pick up a tip here or there...by the way, I love your hair today....

thanks for sharing this vid,,i kind of giggled when you talked about beginners and storage,i also make jewelry and now have branched out into making dream catchers loom knittting now scrapbooking which is actually going to be a mixed media for my dream catchers and mobiles,, ohh the giggling,,sory side tracked,,when you said box,, i remember i fist started the all and above,,,i had 3 shoe boxes, one for tools one for beads AND charms one for stringing material,, in less than a year i graduated and quite quickly to multi drawer storages.,,i have a rattan 6 drawer strictly for my stringing and wire,,my 3 boxes turned into a whole room,,now that i added this to the mix i am scared so i just ordered 2 ..yes 2 storage craft drawer i saw on sale from montgomery wards,, i didnt want to wait for my curbside freebies drawers, or book case like i usually do,i have also collected from the curb ,thhose wooden stands that u can place plastic boxes at an angel,,they only have the rack itself,i am pretty resourceful,,yes shoe boxes,,so i will return to your lesson,,ohh i forgot,,i used to have my desk and craft items in livingroom, i took a block of spac and closet for this, but i have cronic pain issues so i decided to move my bedroom to the larger livingroom and made bedroom the craft room,,unfortunately during the change over the NEW BED room got set up nicely,,but things kind of got pushed into the nEW Craft room which now looks like a craft store threw up in it,,,hence the purchase of the 2 new craft storage drawers!!! i love repurposing, not only cost effective i love double duty!! less things going into landfill,,,,so i would love to see some HACKS and DIY for double duty or just plain old,,i spent all the money i have on beads so i want new scrap booking stamping materials!!!sorry was so lengthy of a post wil be subscribing!!!! wis me luck.. for ALL OF the ABOVE!!!
+Sherie Mcclelland wow is Montgomery Ward still in business? I remember their catalog when I was a kid:)
yes i bought some cookie cutters on clearance for 2.99 they are big and i bought them for stamping, it is almost bigger than the size of my palms
Great first class! Looking forward to this series. :)
thank you Lindsay! Ive been watching your videos for some time now. I do all kinds of crafts ( my favorite are recycling projects) but i have an interest in stamping, so I will be watching all of the stamping videos. Thank you so much for posting them. Also I would like to say, that I love to see in your videos when you mention other crafters that have RUclips channels that I am subscribed to. It is so nice to hear you mention mark from make your mark or socraftastic.! i feel like "oh Im Friends with them too". lol
you're a great inspiration. Any tips on getting organized. I have a craft desk and it is always a mess.
Fab video! Looking forward to more episodes
