A New Way To Ink Stamps!

In this card making technique video I'll share a new way to ink your stamps...with blending brushes! By applying ink to your stamps with blending brushes, you get a softer appearance on your stamped image, and you can also stamp with multiple colors on the same stamp. Watch along as I create 3 different cards with this beautiful technique.

I’m a demonstrator but as we all do I’m always looking for new ideas. Just wanted you to know that you’ve become the only demonstrator I go to! Your ideas are unique & creative. I love that you don’t waste time chatting about everything under the sun but stamping which I find so frustrating. Keep up the great work you’re doing 👍🌷

[@handmakewithlove]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@sharondrucker7163]

I agree. as a fellow demonstrator I’ve learned a lot.

[@rosannezarmer4752]

I just had to try this! I've been working on a card using the Two Tone Flora. Instead of stamping off for lighter fill color, I used this blending brush technique. And, oh my! The result is fabulous! It's darker than stamping off twice but lighter (and a bit different) than stamping off once. Beautiful! Thanks for this idea.

[@peggysandage2078]

I like how you add shading between leaves.

[@carloshaun7297]

Thank you for sharing how you used your blending brushes to ink your stamps!

[@handmakewithlove]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandynewton7792]

Love the way the blending brushes soften the colors!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!

[@cynthiasnedeker2981]

Anne, I appreciate how you always share your techniques. These cards are great.

[@beverlymeaker7566]

[@callycat6660]

I love your ideas on inking stamps. I never would have thought to try this. Thank you! 😊

[@charlenekinelski7416]

Anna, I love this technique with the blending brush. Thank you for sharing.

[@charlottekline3065]

I agree with Kimberly regarding appreciating you not chatting about how great each stamping up product is and other chit chat. I have received many great ideas and techniques from you.

[@inekegeernaert801]

I love this technique. What a great way to get a softer look for stamping. Btw, I love the new In Colors. Thye are so beautifully subtle. Tfs

[@cindym1070]

I'm fairly new to card making, but I'm having so much fun with it. I'm actually sending people cards now when I didn't before. You are one of the best presenters on here. As another person commented, I like that you don't waste time and go on and on about everything else too. I little of that is ok as when you follow someone you feel like you get to know them and care about them, but some people just go on and on way too much. You always have great ideas and you present them very well. Thank you for your time doing this.

[@lauramoore4064]

Well darn it, more pretties to buy. Love how the cards came out.

[@Willow740]

This technique has been around for decades. Perhaps it was forgotten, not sure but I was doing this same thing back in 2006

[@audreyhunt1760]

Hi Anna you are always surprising us. Thank you... The cards were just cute. Blessings, 🦋 NC viewer

[@kscholz1231]

Great tip!!!

[@janicelutz5536]

I think this is a great idea, I’ve been stamping some leaves and flowers so I tried the brushes. I’m very happy with the results. Thanks again Anna.

[@janetg.]

I love your videos, and not to be critical, but many of us card markers have been using this method for years. The card community on KZbin is huge and believe me when I say that many past demonstrators have their own stamp companies and are now influencers for other big name companies. Something for your to think about since you are very talented. It is well the known that Stamp** does not payout the best for the demonstrators. Just a thought.

[@DependableAngelServices]

_great video and information thanks much love from Port Arthur TX and Dependable Angel Services on KZbin channel_

[@karenfrank8514]

Greetings! Just getting into stamping and die cutting for Heritage Family Scrapbooking. Love your site and hope to adapt many of your ideas into my project pages. I would love a stamp catalog!

[@handmakewithlove]

Hi Karen can you please email your address to me at [e-mail] ?

[@lydiakvrner1597]

Hi, I can't find the video you said to link to, about reverse stamp technique with the songbird. Can you help me? Thanks for the tips in this video! I wonder if you have other videos where you stamp trees and leafs ?

[@sherylosullivan9619]

It took me a while to work out what the name of the colour was as you pronounce it ‘mov’. Eventually I realised it is mauve! I’m Australian.

[@joyann6914]

Love this technique. Question, can you clean the brushes to reuse? Am I being to thrifty lol?

[@handmakewithlove]

They take a LONG time to dry and aren't usable while wet, so its best to have at least a few for your main colors. I've heard some people say never to get them wet but I'm not sure why.

[@tamihalverson3673]

I do wash mine...I might have a bit of OCD. I use a mild dish detergent (7th Generation) and only very lightly rub with just my fingers and then I let them completely air dry by setting them w/ the soft bristle side up. I feel like they are dry after sitting about 12 hours or so.

[@lindastep2811]

Would the daubers give the same effect as the small blending brushes?

[@handmakewithlove]

Yes but probably not quite as soft of an appearance

[@dixiehisle7785]

What is the paper called that you’re stamping off on?

[@annettelund639]

THE LINK FOR THIS STAMP SET IS NOT THE SAME SET THAT YOU USED. CAN YOU PLEASE LINK THE CORRECT SET?

[@handmakewithlove]

The stamp set won't be released until May 2 and I'll update the links then

[@annettelund639]

LOL! That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know!

[@anntolley2738]

It’s called 2nd generation stamping.

[@betsyhaggadone5291]

I'm not liking that type of blending.
