How To: Stamping

Nightcats — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:59:42 CST

how do you use stampology when its clear?

Do you enjoy stamping or want to learn more about how to use stamping in your scrapbooking? Take part by clicking EasyEdit.

Share a technique or tip about stamping: Make sure you practice on a piece of scratch paper before stamping on your scrapbook page to make sure you are getting the right amount of ink on the stamp, etc.

One of the best tips I ever got about stamping was to "huff" on your stamps like you would to fog up a window before you put it on the paper. This really helps to keep the stamp even, especially if it is big.

Apply more pressure to larger stamps and less pressure for smaller ones.

Baby wipes are great stamp cleaners! They'll even keep black ink from staining the rubber (most of the time). :)

For a stamp cleaning video click here

Masking, Combining Stamps, Coloring Stamped Images

You can combine two or more stamps in an image to create your own unique picture. You can mask parts of an image that you want to protect while stamping over top of it. You can color stamped images using any variety of media -- ink, chalk, colored pencils, etc. Click here for a video tutorial of basic stamping, combining two stamps, masking and coloring the stamped image.

Store Stamps

Wipe the printing surface before stamping with "The Perfect Printing Pouch--"*Makes ink adhere to coated surfaces (like old postage stamps) and challenging papers

*Makes pigment ink print well on vellum

*Stops the ink from bleeding when stamping on twill tape or ribbon.

*Works as an anti-static bag to prevent stray embossing grains from sticking where you don't want them

(For more info about the pouch, visit www.scraperfect.com)

Where are your favorite sources for stamps? (Include links when you can.)

1. A friend of mine is a Stampin’ Up consultant and I love alot of the stamps!

2. I'm also a big fan of Stampin' Up!® and I'm building a stamping resource for ideas for Stampin' Up!® stamp sets. It's still pretty new but there are some items in my Stamp Room.

3. It depends what I am looking for. If I am looking to get something cheap but am not in a rush to get it, I am all over ebay, if I know exactly what I am looking for I will go to large craft stores or to an online site such as www.addictedtostamping.com. However when I need ideas on techniques, tricks or want something out of the ordinary nothing beats a locally run shop, http://www.carouselrubberstamps.com/ is my favorite. Since it a small business the owners usually are extremely helpful because they depend on repeat business and I find that they only buy very small quantities of things so the stock changes all the time and they tend to be ahead of the curve on trends. Small stores also have the best classes because they will personalize them to exactly what their clients are looking for, and tend to run different classes so they don't get bored teaching!

What are your favorite stamps? A. I love clear stamps because they are easy to position and I don't have to cut them apart. The clear stamps by Autumn Leaves and Technique Tuesday are both high quality and have a huge variety of images.

B. If you have wooden stamps you can get the exact placement of the design just as well as witha clear acrylic stamp when you use a stamp positioner like a stamp-a-ma-jig, you get the exact placement you want every time. It's also great for stamping layering designs on top of each other too.

C. I personnally prefer acrylic stamps as it is easy to see where you are placing the stamp in relationship to your project.

D. I like the small Hero Arts alpha stamps. They are easy to use, and store when I take my supplies on the road with me.

E. Some of my new favorites are from Art Declassified. They are red rubber, but unmounted, so they leave a good impression, but are easy to store.

How do you organize all your stamps?
I have shelves in my room where I place them and can easily see them all...I find that better than in containers.

My collection of clear acrylic stamps seems to be growing daily and I've found a great way to organize them! I use 3" heavy duty view binders
with clear pencil pouches and place the stamp sets inside. With the view binder style I can easily create a cover to slip in and a label for the spine....with my stamps! If the binders are larger then 3" they become too bulky to handle. Be careful not to overload the binder as you don't want to risk damaging the stamps. You can organize them however you like inside the binders, e.g.- alphabets, punctuation, kids, etc. The binders also make it easy to transport to crops. Hope you like my idea! dawnadesigns

By Heather of Heather's Scrapbooks

Clear Acrylic Stamps are more versitile than rubber stamps. It allows you to have perfect placement. That was essential for the project below.
See below for instructions...

You can use acrylic stamps in many ways. I used them to spell out "Safari" as in the Animal Kingdom's Safari. First I started out with the round chipboard.
They come in a bag made by Creative Imaginations. To see how I created it click here.

Layered acrylic stamps can also make interesting designs or elements. The "tree tag" that extends from this holiday card was made using 3-layered acrylic stamps from Stampology Autumn Leaves. You stamp the first layer, the outline and the text in black. The second layer is solid color -- done with a red chalk in. The third layer, the trees, is done with a plum colored pigment ink. One could heat emboss any or all of the layers if desired.

There is a Video Tutorial at Scrapping by Design


For instructions click here. The stamp I used was with Ultra Thick embossing powder.	Here I used a stamp to press into polymer clay. That is how I created the embellishment in the bottom left corner.
Using Pearl Ex Powders in Stamping You can make beautiful embellishments or greeting cards using stamped images that have been colored with Pearl Ex powders. You stamp with a watermark ink then you brush the powders on using a stipple type paint brush. Pearl Ex is a Jacquard product and is not the same as Radiant Pearls or Perfect Pearls. There are pictures and a video tutorial showing stamping with Pearl Ex at this link.	This card is one example of a stamped image that has been colored with two shades of Pearl Ex powders. It's layered on several layers of card stock then trimmed with ribbon and pearls.
The Resist Technique Resist is a stamping technique in which a medium such as a watermark ink is applied to the paper. When a die ink is brayered over top, the watermark ink will resist the die, leaving you with an attractive image. You can do this technique using a stamped image or freestyle drawings and writings with a watermark pen. You can see a video demonstration of the Resist Techniqe in Stamping at this link.

Winter Scrapbook Summit Weekend

What a great time was had by all at the Simsbury Inn in Simsbury, CT this past weekend.(Feb 2 & 3) 106 of us scrapped and ate incredible food at this beautiful location. The organizers hold 3 events a year at this place and sell out really fast.

www.scrapbooksummit.com to get more information on upcoming April and November 2008 Summits!!

Spring Scrapbook Summit April, 2008
The Spring Summit Weekend had a little extra excitement with the fire alarm going off at 9:30pm on Saturday
just as everyone was really into their work. A dumpster fire created lots of smoke setting off the alarms, and we all had to evacuate.
Many scrappers carried their precious albums outside and just as many had their cameras at the ready. Everyone got great shots with the firemen!!
*****Two scrappers found out they were both alumns from Providence College, though 12 years apart. Both were past presidents of the pretigious Friar's Club.
*****Friends pose with their dinner table decorations!! What will November's Summit bring? www.scrapbooksummit.com

Chipboard Albums and Embellishments

Nightcats — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:19:22 CST

Chipbo

Chipboard is a product usually made from recycled paper. Most chipboard is not archival safe, but lately some manufacturers have been producing special chipboard for the scrapbook industry. Their products are lignon free and acid free, meaning they are archival and safe to use with your photographs. Chipboard albums and chipboard embellishments are typical uses for scrapbook chipboard. The product is versatile and can be handled, decorated and assembled in many ways.

Chipboard embellishments come in a variety of shapes, including alphabets or letters, circles, brackets, squares and many more. The product can be sanded; it can have holes punched in it; it can be painted, covered with paper and trimmed as desired. The following page contains pictures and suggestions for decorating chipboard embellishments
This is a scrapbook calendar made from a Maya Road Binder Album. It is six inches square and contains calendar pages printed from a template, photographs, embellishments and birthstones and flowers for each month. There is a video tutorial here: Scrapbook Calendar Video Tutorial
Various paper crafting companies sell what they call chipboard word books. The books are chipboard albums but each page is an alphabet. The pages line up to spell a word, such as HAPPY, BABY, FAMILY, PARTY, BELIEVE and more. This link contains a picture and a video tutorial of a HAPPY word book mini album
"Friends" Wordbook Album

Money Saving Tips

Nightcats — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:38:27 CST

As all scrapbookers and paper crafters know, this is not an inexpensive hobby. We all like to save money. If we can save money by recycling materials, that's even better. We help protect the environment while enjoying our hobby. Do you have a good money saving tip to share? Please let us know what you do to pinch pennies.

Do you also make greeting cards? If you do, why recycle your calendar pages to make your own envelopes. You could also recycle other attractive paper, such as gift wrap, magazine pages, junk mail, pages removed from unwanted books, etc. There is an article and video tutorial about making envelopes from recycled calendar pages making envelopes at this link:

Put coffee filters to good use in your scrapbooking. Cone shaped filters, often available at the Dollar Stores, make cute little mini albums when bound and decorated. You can also use flat bottomed coffee filters to hold your beads, eyelets, brads, ribbons and other small embellishments while you are working.
