Oh wow. I found this entire kit at my local goodwill for $2 I thought it looked like a mini printer of some sort so I brought it home. This is awesome :)
Geez! I bought my Mint a year ago, but I'd only made two simple text stamps. I had no idea I could do so much more with it. Thanks for thoroughly explaining all the Mint Studio features. Now I know what to do with all the extra stamps I've never used. #obsessedwithcrafting Bless You!
I love my MInt and this video has helped me learn more. On the photograph of the girls, I think I would edit out the background before I import the photo to turn it into a stamp. I love that I can take a photo and turn it into a stamp! Very cool!
I only discovered the Silhouette mint on youtube yesterday, I heard somewhere that it was going to be discontinued, I hope not as I think it's a great product, are there plans to develop it further? I haven't seen any other stamp maker on the market like this.
The printed image is flat or slightly recessed, and not protruding, so stamp pads do not work. You do need to use the Mint ink that is absorbed into the stamp for best results.
I just bought mine and for some reason it won’t detect my stamp. Everything is chosen correctly. It’s frustrating, idk if I have a defected machine or stamp kit
Seems to be a great tool but what's the minimum type size to use please. So is it possible to use it as a usual business (contracts, etc.) stamp? Thanks
You can get quite small with your fonts, but the minimum would just depend on what font you are using. The software will let you input down to 1.0 pt size, but you want it to be legible. I often use around 14 pt for address stamps, but it can go smaller. You can certaintly use it as a business stamp. You can even import your signature as an image to make a signature stamp.
Silly question, but do you need a silhouette machine for this stamp maker? I have a cricut and was curious if this machine needed to be connected to a silhouette to be used
I've seen people use Mint stamps on fabric, but I would not trust its permanence for multiple washes. There is only one version of the Mint ink and it was not created for clothing.
All you need is the Mint machine, the software for your computer, and the stamp supplies. The machine comes with four inks and two stamps, so you will need to purchase more stamp kits to make more than just two stamps. All the stamps you make are considered custom stamps. :)
Silhouette Mint ink has a different formula and thickness than regular stamp refills, so the Mint ink is your best choice. Stamp pads do not work with Mint stamps, as it must be absorbed into the printed stamp.
Make sure you let it soak in enough. Then stamp several images to get the rest of the extra ink off. You shouldn't really need to clean any ink off with a cloth or your finger.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have a png image the when I apply the standard filter is very pixelated. I adjusted the brightness all the way down and it's still pretty bad. I vectorized the image saved it as a png. I appreciate any help. Thanks
The image does tend to go a little pixelated with filters applied, but usually it's not a problem. Not every image will work well as a stamp, so you may need to try the different filters or use a different image.
Oh no. I really love my portrait and I am sure I will love my soon be here cameo 4, too. And as much as I love stamping the mint is an interesting machine. But when I watch this, I see there is so much waste included in every stamp. Even if this were sold in a sale at my next door shop it would be a no go for me, I want to craft environmentally friendly. And as if this wastly product isnt enough, you show how to make stamps that are already placed on the table. Boooh. We have just one world. As a big company you should be interested to not harm this world nor the nature. Do care, please

I need the address of that goodwill, lol Lucky you!
Nice find

This is the best tutorial ever, so clean and well explained! Thank you for sharing to us madame ❤

Thank you for all info. I use my Mint often. I place a pc of foam under paper and cardstock to get beautiful stamped images.
That's brilliant! :)

This is really nice, can those stamps also work with standard stamp ink pads?
No
The printed image is flat or slightly recessed, and not protruding, so stamp pads do not work. You do need to use the Mint ink that is absorbed into the stamp for best results.
@@KellyWayment thank you very much!
It looks great! Do you also offer embossing ink or colored inks only?
There is only one type of ink used in the Mint stamps, and they are all colored. Silhouette does not offer an embossing ink.
@@KellyWayment I saw a recent tutorial with embossing ink. Might be something new!? Worth a Google :)
Awesome
Where can I get the larger block to mount the stamp on?
Does the machine stamp accept any type of normal ink? Because I tried several inks from different brands and only the company's ink was accepted
great video
Wow that is a great 👍
I just bought mine and for some reason it won’t detect my stamp. Everything is chosen correctly. It’s frustrating, idk if I have a defected machine or stamp kit
Is the ink compatible with embossing powder?
Can all of this be done on basic edition of the software? Thanks in advance
Hi thanks for the video. Do we have to use the silhouette stamp blocks with the silhouette mint or can we put them on clear acrylic blocks as well?
Can you sell the stamps you make with the mint ?
How well would this stamp on cardboard? I am looking to use recycled materials if possible
Is this compatible with iPad Air 4?
What is the largest stamp i can make?
Can I stamp poly bags (plastic bags to,ship,tshirts) without smearing?
I would recommend stamping onto sticker blanks for applying to poly bags instead of stamping onto the plastic itself.

Can connect this to my mobile?
Do you have to use silhouette ink ?
Silly question, but do you need a silhouette machine for this stamp maker? I have a cricut and was curious if this machine needed to be connected to a silhouette to be used
No you don't. It might ask you to sign up for the free membership though.
You do not need a Silhouette cutting machine. The Mint stamp maker is a stand-alone machine with its own software, Mint Studio.
How can I buy it from Bangladesh.
Are there any inks for fabrics ?!
CAN U USE WRITTEN TEXT MESSAGING ALONE?
Do you guys have permanent ink for clothing stamping ?
I've seen people use Mint stamps on fabric, but I would not trust its permanence for multiple washes. There is only one version of the Mint ink and it was not created for clothing.
if I make a custom one, do I have to purchase anything when i make it or print it??
All you need is the Mint machine, the software for your computer, and the stamp supplies. The machine comes with four inks and two stamps, so you will need to purchase more stamp kits to make more than just two stamps. All the stamps you make are considered custom stamps. :)
I download the Mint to my computer, but I didn't get the free designs. What did I do wrong?
Hi Peggy! Send us an email at support@silhouetteamerica.com and we can walk you through it!
What size is best for return address?
It would depend on the design of your stamp, but the 15 x 60 or the 30 x 60 would be good.
Wait, you can use multiple designs on the same base?
so this stamp just work with silhouette ink and not a regular ink pad?
The stamp only works with silhouette ink as the ink soaks into the stamp.
@@speedcatbeth so can I use a regular stamp pad ink refills and let it absorb it?
@@kerrie9121 regular ink refills aren't designed the same way. I tried it and you need to re-ink often.
Silhouette Mint ink has a different formula and thickness than regular stamp refills, so the Mint ink is your best choice. Stamp pads do not work with Mint stamps, as it must be absorbed into the printed stamp.
Can regular ink stamp pads be used with the stamp??
No
You do need to use the Mint ink for best results. The printed image is flat and not protruding, so stamp pads do not work.
when i took the top off of my stampbase there was no adhesive!!!!!!
nevermind, I figured it out.
By the time you clean off the ink, the stamps are really faint

omg please loose that jingle
This is just ludicrously expensive in my country. 😭
what country is that, I found one for £60
Não recomendo, péssimo custo/ benefício
porque não?
