  • Stamp School: How to ink a Stamp {one sheet card!}
    Today I will show you the proper way to ink a stamp then stamp with it.
    You will need:
    Stamps (I suggest a leaf and a flower)
    Dye ink pads (I am using 3 shades of red and green and a black but you can use a single color if you prefer)
    1 sheet of white cardstock 8.5"x11"
    Scissors or paper trimmer or craft knife and mat
    an old magazine or phone book to stamp on or you can make a DIY blotter stamping surface like I did, tutorial here: • DIY Desk Blotter for S...
    Adhesive
    Optional: Twine and button

    I love that idea adding the extra bits of ink to the rose. Made it look real. Trying that. Thankyou

    I know that this video is 2 years old, but it is still very helpful. I never knew I'd have more control if I pounced the ink pad instead of the stamp. Great tip Lindsay. Thank you!

    One thing I learned early on that really helped was to think of the stamps in quadrants. Make sure you apply pressure to each quadrant. That way you an even impression.

    Hi lynsie
    Thank you been stamping for a number of years I even show people how to now and then, so never think your going too slow for those that have some knowledge as we learn just as well from another persons technics . I appreciate your spending your time showing your skills. It's always good to see an artist at work regardless of the medium used.regards as always. Paul from London UK. P's keep me coming

    The flower and leaf stamp is very cute! Your card is easy and simple. Adding the button and fiber is a plus to any card.

With all that is going on in our world today it’s nice to have a diversion. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. GOD bless you my dear. Great job. ❤️👍

    This is a great back to basics refresher for more experienced stampers. I'd have given anything for this information several years ago. I've just gone with what I stumbled on & worked for me like bring the ink to the stamp as you do & use another large wood mount stamp to get a good image from the one you're stamping.
    Can't wait for the next instalment :).

  • @craftygran101
    @craftygran101 9 лет назад

    Thanks for this great tutorial Lindsay. It doesn't matter if any of us are new to this craft or not, styles and techniques change so we can always learn something.
    Like many other crafters, I learnt by trial and error and there were not video tutorials around.
    It is so good to see you giving such good advice about taking the ink pad to the stamp and not the other way around.
    So many tips in this one video. It is the first of this series I have caught so will go find the whole lot :-)
    Again, many thanks for great ideas, tips and how to's.

  • @Janescheekychickens
    @Janescheekychickens 7 лет назад

    I tested my stamps out on a bit of paper before using and discovered how difficult it is pressing them down onto the pad without it getting on the edges and making a line around the stamp, so this is very informative once again. your tips are great ie being careful not to put your card stock on top of the over lapped ink, also putting the lid back on the stamps so 1) they dont dry out and 2) you dont accidently get ink smeared on the back of your card.
    My goodness how messy my hands were getting lol. I made three christmas cards. using a technique I used with the school youth club years ago when we made christmas tags out of old christmas cards.
    Also a freind sent me a christmas card once where she used old christmas cards cutting the picture into three sections and gluing them on a different colour background with a gap in between each section.
    I cut out various shapes in a different coloured paper glued them on to the card stock then cut the picture from the christmas card and glued them on top.
    On one I slightly smeared the glue and it looked rough when dry, so thought what would Lindsay do, well I made a little bow and glued it on :) (bow, courtesy of the loops I cut out of my tops that always poke out of your clothes when you wear them)and so I cut them out and save them. they have finally come in useful. Thanks to you teaching me that everything has a use.
    I also used the ribbon just to add a co ordinating colour at the bottom of the other two cards as I forgot how I did the previous bow.
    Then I added the finishing touches with sentiments with my stamps :) well chuffed with the results!
    On one I messed up the sentiment because there was not enough ink on one side so I re inked but it did not line up properly! So I found a pack of photo paper that my hubby got free with our new printer. I re printed the sentiment on a corner of that and cut it out and stuck that over my mistake:)
    So hey presto two mistakes that could have ruined my cards turned out cool because you have taught me to tackle anything Thankyou. Ps I am not very technically, savy . but when I get chance to get my son to show me how to post stuff up on your face book page I will share the results with you. Thank you Lindsay for all your help and guidance :) oh and I cant wait to make the envelopes too after watching your tutorial on that one :)

    On clear stamps before using especially if using dye ink use versamark before using your ink, it's cleaner than using erasers.

    @path6741 9 лет назад

    Beautiful card. I have that leaf stamp too and I'm sure you are right, it's at least 15 years old. LOL Just goes to show how good quality products will last a long time. The one thing I have found that doesn't age well is the foam backing for mounting rubber stamps and making them "cling" stamps. On the ones I did about 10 years ago the foam tears and splits when I try to take them off a plastic block, or they won't stick at all now. I have some pieces of the backing left over and the paper has adhered to them so tightly I can't tell which side was supposed to be the sticky one the rubber stamp should be mounted on. I think I'll stick to the Aleene's Tack It and skip the foam backing in the future.

    I just love your videos !! I had accumulated a small collection of those tsukineko dew drop ink pads using JoAnn's coupons and I was wondering what else I could do with them. I honestly was a bit disappointed in some of them as the colors were very light to where you could hardly see them but this video revamped their usage and I'll be keeping these now instead of giving them away.

  • @TheHappyDiane
    @TheHappyDiane 9 лет назад

    It's so true. The little stamps work best. Every time I use a larger stamp it fools me. It fakes me out looking like the stamp is inked, but they lie. The big pads are liars!!! Besides I swear the little stamps seem to be overflowing with beautiful ink!

    I hope you are having a wonderful day! Love watching!! I love that your crafts are so varied. My craftyness is all of it also. Nice to know that I am not the only one who can't just stop with a few crafts.
    I do have a question. I recently purched faber castell 50 oil pastel in the red box. I just read 5 and up on the box. Lol although my question is, are they water soluble? If not what would you use to clean up with or to blend with?
    If they are not water soluble, what would be your moderate priced of water soluble ones be.
    Thank you so much! You are so fun and very informative. Enjoy watching so much. You give me so much inspiration. I don't think you really know how much you mean to people like myself.

    • @Sneakyash
      @Sneakyash 9 лет назад

      Tamala Owens you blend oil pastels with your finger! Or if you want to keep you fingers clean, you could use an old rag or some type of cloth, or even a paper towel. If you want you could even use a solvent, something like turpenoid if you're in the states. You could also use paint thinner. I use it with my pastels and I even use it with coloured pencils! Hope this helps!! :D

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  9 лет назад

      Tamala Owens Aww thanks! Mineral spirits will bend those, they are fun to use! For watersoluble try Portfolio by Crayola, they are great and about $10 a 24 pack of big pastels, similar to gelatos but WAY cheaper and great quality:)

    Lindsay, this was a great video. Loved the technique for the background. Where did you get the rose stamp?? I like to make cards with flowers, and like that I can water color them or use my markers and embossing inks to color them. Thanks for sharing. I love learning from you.

  • @lisaquan3576
    @lisaquan3576 9 лет назад

    Great tutorial Lindsay! I was wondering... I had placed a cling stamp on a block (perhaps two years ago) It got shuffled around and then packed and moved, without ever removing it from the block. When I discovered it, it's stuck. I like the stamp and have been keeping it on the block in fear of tearing it. I was going to try glycerin to see if it would soften it or slick it up, but I don't want to prevent it then from sticking in the future. Any thoughts?

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  9 лет назад

      Lisa Quan i'd try soaking it in hot water. If that does not work maybe try getting a palette knife or putty knife under an eddge and lifting. this happens to some clear stamps in the package too, it tends to be the cheaper ones, they fuse to the plastic, it's weird. Good luck:)

  • @samanthac7037
    @samanthac7037 9 лет назад

    Beautiful card! Question: does the ink stain the water brushes or will it rinse out? I have the little square ones that you usually use in your videos for inking edges, they're dye based I think. Thanks in advance xx

    Could you please do a video tutorial on the different types of ink pads? Dyes vs. pigments vs. sprays, etc.? I'm never sure which ink type to use and if you could do an overview, that would be great. Thanks!!

    Linsday thank you for all the awesome videos. I'm fairly new with stamping, paper crafting and I've been buying things for my craft room. I'm having a difficult time creating and don't know where to start. I have a lot of the materials and tools but when it comes down to it I don't know what to really do. I've watched many videos. I just don't want to waste any materials if I mess up. My craft room is pretty much stocked with materials, supplies and tools but don't know where to start. Any ideas and or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

      thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich thank you. Your so right. I've been trying to buy everything and that's just not possible. I was thinking I will start when I get more stamps and dies since there's so many beautiful and cute stamps and dies. It's endless. Oh my gosh! You have some great advice hun. Love watching you. It's so enlightening.

    I want to ask will regular white cardstock good for stamping and using water color pencil to color or using alcohol marker to color? or do I need to use watercolor paper for my stamping imagine then cut it out?

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  4 года назад +1

      You cat start with regular cardstock and upgrade if you want something more specific. It's pretty good for most card stuff.

    What white cardstock do you recommend for the beginning stamper that will work with water pens etc?

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  9 лет назад

      Rich Parker Well, I say go with the stuff at staples or walmart so you won't be afraid to use it. We are using regular white cardstock here for stamp school so you will not be afraid to experiment. Watercolor marker are more forgiving than copics so it is fine. If you want to step it up I recommend Hot Press watercolor paper. Fabriano make s a 75 sheet block for about $20 that is a good buy, try Jerry's Artarama or Blick online for best prices. BUT the regular white cardstock is all we are using for Stamp School:)

    Hi Lindsay. I haven't been able to find an appropriate place to ask these questions. What do I do with the foam stamps that I bought for the kids, some of which I would like to use myself rather than just throw them away? Also, I have a lot of the brass embossing stencils that my hands aren't strong enough to emboss with the stylus. Can they be used in a Big Shot machine, or are there other ways to use them? Thanks, Dee

      @craftygran101 9 лет назад

      Deirdre Powers Hi Deirdre, yes the brass stencils can be used in Big Shot and other machines, sorry cannot remember the plate stacking order but it can be found on RUclips.Also brass stencils can be used as stencils to chalk or ink through, this comes out great. can also be used with stencil pastes. Hope these ideas help.

      Margaret House hmm, how long have you had it, maybe it needs a reinking? Did you add water to it? You can get a bottle of reinker for a couple of dollars, I have one in black and rich cocoa, my two oft-used colors. Joann has 50% off now I think if you wan to stock up:)

    Do you prefer watercolor markers or alcohol based and why ???

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  9 лет назад

      Fabulous Flamingo watercolor. You don't need as many, you can use cheaper paper for good results, it's overall cheaper and easier to learn.
