Excellent, being unmounted means they take up minimal storage space and the rubber is a good quality. The stamps are deeply etched which produces an excellent clear image, even on the fine detailed areas of the stamps.
I love this new concept that Sheena has come up with, by using the stamps as the basis of the design you can practice the paint fusion techniques without all the difficulties that painting from nowhere on a blank sheet would put you off. This gets you up and running right away.
These stamps and the whole system is fab. Do hope you got the DVD as well, it makes it so much easier to see what you need to do. Have a play without the paint on the practice sheets that come with the stamps and you will be away in no time.
Hey fam. Is there a way to paint only a specific stamp type? I have a bunch of trees mixed in with hills and mountains, and coloring in the mountains/ hills also colors in the trees in front of them. Is there a way to paint the interior of the trees a new color without having to actually color in each individual tree?
The technique could not be more simple, you chop fruits and veggies and then use them as stamps. We used acrylic paint and a brayer to roll paint on to our stamps. I've wanted to make an apple stamped pillow set (think Autumn decor) or possibly even a dress for a while and I was really pleased with how the prints looked using small granny smith apples.
Brush on enough paint to coat the leaves lightly, but too much paint will make your print blotchy and take away from the detail of the leaves (you can see what I mean with the blotchy orange leaf, my first attempt). Paint the stem, too, if you want.
I started this whole project by painting all the walls and trim in the basement, then letting it dry for a week or so to make sure it cured before I started adding things on top. A coat of white does wonders, right?

Investment: large Butterfly- Swallowtail Stamp : 13 / Acrylic paints are inexpensive around 1 each , the fabric medium price is around 1.25. I bought them in Hobbycraft. Fabric price depend on your provider.
Yes. I have fallowed a very easy process and according to the instructions the technique guarantee bright colors up to 20 washes. I have hand washed the fabric twice up to the moment and the images are as nice as the first day. ( leave the paint dry 48 hours before washing)
I recommend using smooth cotton fabrics or fabrics with little texture. Cotton canvas is superb! black out also can be stamped. The acrylic paint penetrates better on cotton fibers than polyester but if you are making a lampshades you can stamp on polyester as this fabric probably never will be washed.
About fabric print color: there are different brands, all have their advantages and disadvantages. To print fabric, the fabric paint has to be thicker than ordinary fabric paint. Some of my fabric paints already have thickener added and are ready for printing, while some are too runny, such as my silk paints, and need extra thickener, which can be bought separately.
Why to wash and iron your fabric prior to printing: Often new fabrics have some finishing which has to be removed so that the fabric paint sticks to the fibers. And if the fabric is too wrinkled after washing it should be ironed to have a smooth surface for printing.
Today I am using stamps from our sponsor ArtNeko! *Save 10% off your next order of any size or get free shipping on orders over $50 (whichever discount is greater you get!) just by mentioning thefrugalcrafter!
Another great saving idea! Thank you! I loved the result, I like the Grungy wet look and then the dryer look of a ink pad. I also tried spreading out the paint mixed with water on my acrylic block and used it like a ink pad. It worked great, the dryer the better, it looks like a ink pad was used. This is what I will be doing today! (besides packing to move) Thanks again Lindsey ?
This is a nice way for beginners to experiment with watercolors to see how the paints move and blend without stressing over the quality of their work. It looks like it would be great with background stamps too.
Hot-glue a piece of upholstery foam (or a sponge) to polystyrene foam tray or a dessert-sized plastic plate. The tray should be just larger than the foam, and the foam should be just larger than the stamps you plan to use.

There's no need for you to spend time layering and masking images, as we have designed these sets to allow you to stamp once then color! We can't wait to see what you create!
Michelle did make the challenge seem interesting: Paint two colors on a piece of paper, ink up your stamp with the same colors, then stamp and watch the colors blend and disappear when stamp/paint match.
Next, I painted the stamp and pressed it onto dry paper. You can see the results from very wet paint to almost-dry paint. Michelle suggested index cards, but I decided to use hot-press watercolor paper. These pieces will all be re-used.
I LOVE those colors together. The turquoise and yellow. I must use this a LOT now. I like the disappearing act. I found that, too, that thicker paint looked best, but even the craft paint really makes a mystery.
This is another stamp, also the traditional type, rubber with a wooden base. I colored the icing as before, but using a tie-dye instead of stripes. And in this design I went with colors: leaves painted with a food pen, and the little vase with gold luster powder. After painting, you might have to go back to the outline and touch it up with a fine tip black pen. Make sure the paint is fully dry, which happens quite quickly anyway.
Another way to deal with the stamp is using a food pen with a thicker point (I like this kind), paint the stamp, then quickly press it on the iced cookie. You need to work a bit faster because the amount of dye is going to be less than by soaking the paper, therefore it might dry quickly as you paint the stamp. The advantage of this method is reducing the probability of smearing, and saving quite a bit of dye. Below you see what it looks like.
I started by stamping the Crackle Paint background on Wood Textures Designer Series Paper with Early Espresso ink. To stamp a big background stamp like this, I prefer setting the stamp on my work surface with the rubber side face-up. Then, I hold my stamp pad upside down in my hand and pat it all over the rubber. Afterwards, I lay the paper face down onto the background stamp, cover it with a layer of printer paper (to prevent getting ink all over my hands), and use my fingers to press the paper into the stamp. Afterwards, carefully lift up the paper. This technique produces beautiful results for background stamps!
Stamping on fabric is a fun and easy project and you create designs that are unique and all yours. Generally, larger stamps work better (larger than 1"). Delicate, small stamps with fine details are best suited for ink and paper.
You can print on solid fabrics or on prints as I did in this tutorial. Spiff up an ugly fabric with some textile paint stamping! Yes, you really can make an ugly kinda interesting with just a little paint and time.
I used normal acrylic paint for this. Top, I applied the paint with a roller used for lino-printing, which gave a very fingerprint effect.
Bottom, the paint was spread out on a flat plastic palette and the stamp was dipped in the paint.
I poured the green and red paint onto a paper plate and had my son firmly press his apple into the paint. Once the apple was completely covered, I then had him firmly press the apple onto our paper and gently pull up.
Those stamp sets are so cool, and as usual you make it look so easy to make beautiful cards with them. I have seen a few reruns of Bob Ross videos since I moved to the US. He was incredibly talented and it was just amazing how he could just make things appear with a flick of the paintbrush.
Love Bob Ross, and I love your cards. They are so amazing. Thank you for making a video and showing how easy it can be to make such beautiful cards. I actually remember two of his episodes. One, is when he had his pet squirrel on the show. It was so cute! Another, he was doing his usual, trees, mountains, happy little bushes, etc. I think it was a winter scene, but out of nowhere, with a sort of spatula tool (palette knife?), he built a cabin. It was just so fascinating for me to watch him do that little house out of one little strip of paint on the end of a flat piece of metal.. hehe The very first, and only, painting I ever did was Bob Ross inspired. My mother has it. ^_^ Thanks again, for sharing. I must have that stamp set now.
What a beautiful and simple way to make trees. Years ago I watched Bob Ross regularly and even took some of his classes. It was amazing how the students, with no painting experience, could paint an acceptable picture. Now my artistic leaning, such as it is, envelops card making and scrapping. Thanks for your great videos. Everyone of them teaches me great techniques!
