Stamping?
Wendy Kerr
I FINALLY got my stamping area moved to a place that is out of the way
(meaning, I can leave all my stuff all over the table and not worrying about
what my house looks like if company shows up unexpectedly! LOL) and a spot
that is very comfortable. I actually got about 10 cards made last night!
Also, I finally got to play with my new leaves! Lots of fun!
What is everyone else stamping?

Hi Wendy
I have ben stamping in rubber shelf liner, it is really easy to do and
the results are amazing! Plus I have been Stamping on CD pieces and
using them for card embellishments.
I love Leaves stamps too:-))
Jane Willis
that's another story....
But every time I sit down to stamp I start playing with my new Versamark
pad - I just can't put it down! I want to se what effect it has on every
piece of paper and card in my collection. So at present I have loads of
backgrounds and hardly any finished work!

What the heck can I do with double-sided paper? Each side has it's own unique
pattern. No, I don't know how to teabag fold but I do want to show off that
it's double-sided.
Ideas?
thanks

you fold the paper in half, then cut 1/2" snips along the fold, then fold
every other one down , so if you paper was red and white, you'd see one red,
one white, and so on.

I have been stamping and folding origami shirts to make pins and magnets. They
were very popular at the Newbury stamp show yesterday so I am looking into the
possibility of teaching a class at my local stamp shop in Eastbourne (very
excited about this) now I have to work out how to fold ties for them.

Those shirts sound ideal! I am looking for a folding pattern for
them along with kimonos for card making. Any good websites you
can recommend??

Wot? I missed this? were you doing this on the Saturday as well? I
spent around 3 hours on Saturday wandering around - got to meet The
Crafty Owl and am much looking forward to her new catalogue...
So how do you do the origami bit - and with what paperstock?

You mean buying is the purpose of this hobby? We're supposed to use the

I finally came to the conclusion the other day.....I buy cause I love the
look of certain stamps. I don't make enough to validate the cost of all
this stuff. But I decided that I have collected collectable glass, books,
etc. for years and it is the collecting that is the fun. I can look at them
and enjoy them. Why shouldn't we be able to do the same thing with stamps?

the ink reacts with the paper or card you stamp on to give a watermark
effect - it seems to be different on every weight and colour of paper.
Sometimes it is delicate, sometimes bold.
On glossy card the effect doesn't happen, but if you leave it to dry
then brayer over it with coloured ink the design shows through in white
- I've had a lot more success doing resist this way than with an
embossing pad.
It is made by Tsukineko so you should be able to get it where you get
Encore pads.

I haven't tried it on glass, just glossy card - it is after all a
rubberstamping tool - but now you've suggested it I might give it a try.
It might not dry too well though. Perhaps heat-resistant acetate, so I
could give it a blast with the heat gun.

do use a stamp indicating that the card was handmade.
I've been playing with layering, collage, etc. I had been told that one
shouldn't re-ink (embossing) between layers of UT because the embossing
ink would come to the surface. Sure enough, the next morning it did! I
put more UT on it and some other powders. The problem went away. I've
also used letters from the Dover series of books. On some I've used the
Wet Look embossing pens and embossing powder to raise parts of the
letters. On other I color in with either Pentel color pen-fine point,
gel pens, watercolor, or color pencils. Some items will run after
spraying glitter over the piece. After spraying glitter I then spray
reworkable fixative. The letter is then cutout and mounted on fun foam
to be adhered to embellished card stock. Loads of fun!

Resistance is futile.
Especially with all the really beautiful papers available now. Here's a
question - how do you store rolls of paper so they don't get ruined?

I'll see your dog and raise you a cat that at this very moment is asleep
on a pile of inkpads and a tube of glue - I hope I put the top on
firmly.

I agree they shouldnt make such beautiful papers, then I wouldnt
feel the need to assimilate them:-)))
I store my rolls of paper in a huge poster tube all rolled up
together to protect them.
stampingqueen
LOL!
These stories put me in mind of my cat. One time I put a
painting I did on a flat surface to dry. Next morning right
across the painting was a collection of 'mysterious' paw prints
trotting all along the card:-) And you should of seen the look
of innocence on my cats face:-)

I take an old wine box with the dividers and cover it with wrapping paper to
make it look nice and then store the rolled papers in that. It holds about
3 rolls of paper in each divider.....of course, I have more than one!!

Ah, so relieved to know I'm not alone in spending as much time shopping for
STUFF as stamping! I'll let go of the guilt now before I head out to the
August rubber stamp convention - LOL.
Here's a Viva Las VegasStamps I just bought that pretty much sums it up:
"Dear ______,
They say they will let me out of Debtors' Prison if I will just stop buying
rubber stamps. Maybe you have some old catalogs I could browse through while
here?
Love, ______"
Happy buying (and maybe stamping?),

Fellow paper junkie here. :-) Just jumped into the area with both feet in
June, and have been spending my money (not even the extra money!) on paper
and stamps ever since.
AND I have a lovely six-divider metal wine "rack" given to me as a birthday
present by my dear sister and brother-in-law. Only trouble is I rarely
drink wine and really haven't had a use for it except to gather dust! It
has a handle on top so it can be carried around (by those wine fans who
want to give guests a choice, I suppose!), and right now it has two dusty
bottles of wine/champagne -- both gifts -- in it. Now I know what I can do
with it -- carry it to the craft room and use the space for my collection
of plastic margarita glasses. :-)

How about using it in a "window" so one side shows on front and the other on
the inside of the card.

When you stamp on paper, no matter the color, when it dries, the
image will be just a bit darker than the paper>>like a watermark
katieg...@my-deja.com
started to use the basic color and the daub around the edges. What an
awesome effect!

your paper...
for example....if you are stamping on a burgundy stock and use the versamark
ink using say a heart stamp and stamp it onto the burgundy paper...you will
have a burgundy colored heart on the paper a shade or two darker than the
paper...it is WAYYYYYYYYY cool!!! the ideas are endless :)

The Versamark pad is a bit different than other pads. They do take a
while to dry even on uncoated stock, which is what they were intended
for. I haven't experimented with them on vellum but sounds interesting.
You need to do good job cleaning the stamp after use or it will get
gummy. Also the color of your paper will affect the finshed item, light
colors give lighter images. There is an example of the finished look at
my site using a med taupe stock.
