You never cease to AMAZE me. How fun (and easy and clever and worthwhile and genius) is this!?! Thank you!! ❤️👏🏻🤗

[@creativecards4u]

Those stamps are so decorative. 🤩 I really enjoyed your techniques. Have a blessed day 🙏😇🌷

[@SallysJunkJournalJourney]

Great video. I can’t wait to try it. I love using stamps and cancels in my art. I tried the thinning scissors you mentioned and that works great for diy stamp edges.

[@juliehouck6154]

Found it .Thank you so much! Happy Sunday to you!

[@kathy4950]

Hi Robin, great class!😎🙏

[@louhortonsculpture]

Yes!! This is awesome! I love the iced spruce cancellations.

[@juliehouck6154]

I love the idea of the using pinking shears in this way! Thank you so much for teaching this. I tried doing this on journal pages and they reminded me of childhood family photos from the 50’s. So cool another layer of history. You are AWESOME! With so much gratitude for sharing your breadth of knowledge🙏🏼

[@RobynMcClendon]

Julie Houck Hi Julie your so welcome ❣️. And thx for hanging out with me on Saturday’s😊💫

Hi Sasha, It's all in the details, Right?! Thanks for hanging out with me :)

[@ammsf8002]

Hey Robyn, TY for another great video & project -tips 'n tricks. Love the scissored stamp edge! But the best part of this project is it provides me a perfectly reasonable (sane) justification for indulging my torturous need (illness!) to keep every *#!% scrap of paper!!! Love you, stay safe.

[@RobynMcClendon]

We are kindred spirits...lol They say necessity is the mother of invention!!! hahahahahah

[@ka8byrdie]

Very cool ! Very thoroughly explained !

[@jomyron8351]

Hi Robin, hair thinning shears are great for making the perforation. You can get the cheap ones at Sally's, or ask your hair stylist they may have old ones in their drawer.

[@RobynMcClendon]

That's a great idea, I'll have to try that! Thx :)

[@jhinton129]

Always enjoy your videos but you out did yourself with this one. Thank you.

[@marthasilva5392]

Another person uses a piece of plastic of a container and make a ruler ship one side with scissors like pointy for that affect ,they also sometimes they even get a plastic ruler and ship it and when you ripe it you get that affect too.

[@Ro_M0xi3]

So creative and great!❤️

[@cammygibson4125]

I loved the DIY Stamps, Robyn! They turned out beautifully! Thanks for the inspiration--makes me want to run and get out my paper scraps, stamps, and ink right now!

[@belindamatos6904]

Thanks for sharing this video. I really loved it. I've seen several DIY faux post stamps but not like yours. I really like your style of art making even in you faux postage. They are like little pieces of art.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx Belinda! :)

[@lindaharris6343]

Robyn, this is intriguing, inspiring--as your videos always are! I'm going to join your Patreon. I love the stamps, especially the way you put the paper down on top of the stamp and press hard. Beautiful!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx so much Linda🙏😊💫

[@LB-vl3qn]

Wow! Just found your channel and am delighted to see someone else who appreciates Pumice Stone. It's one of my most favorite, most used inks. You've used it, and all the other colors to great effect here. This is true art: deliberate, intelligent, and above all, beautiful. Thrilled to have discovered your channel! ~ Lisa

[@KiwiJane1]

Robyn, do you have a video or will you please make one on how you do the scripting? I absolutely love it! I know you have a lot of experience with it and it’s not something one can learn overnight, but if you could create a video showing your technique with a printout of your unique, intuitive fonts/symbols, that would be so wonderful and very appreciated! :-)

[@janl8736]

You are so talented! Your art is so different and I love to watch your channel!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks so much! :)

[@sandymccoig3489]

I loved watching your videos. Fun to learn.

[@lucisweet46]

I got some of those Fiskars scissors that are exactly like the edge of a stamp... so much fun! Love your stamps, can’t wait to try your method. Thanks for everything you share.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Absolutely❣️ I did try finding those scissors no luck...do they make an authentic looking edge?😊

[@lucisweet46]

@@RobynMcClendon Yes! I got them on Amazon - had to buy a pack of four different edges, but less than $15 so worth it. But your "double pass" pinking shear method works nicely too - the first time I made stamps, I used pinking shears but just one pass and it's too big as you explained in your video. Thanks again Robyn! It was exciting to see you with Seth Apter, I was feeling pretty full of myself that I was already familiar with your work:-)

[@marshaegan4316]

Yes I agree another creative hour! Mini masterpieces!! Thank you, Robyn!

[@carolwelch4953]

Morning, Robyn! Loved this! I found a box of letters my husband & I wrote to each other when we were dating (we will be married 49 years in Sept). All the envelopes were with the letters I'm going to use the stamps in a book I've decided to make for our 50th anniversary in 2021.

Robyn, did you do a video of a flip through of this completed book? I could not find one and I would love to see it once it has been covered from beginning to end.

Love your art and love your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration. One question: Do the distress ink pads react to water? Do we need to seal them? Just wondering...

[@333Judy333]

I complained to KZbin many times this past week. On some channels I regularly watch, there were as many as FIVE ads in the first 7 minutes! I was appalled! It was impossible to watch the content with the constant interruptions! KZbin is completely out of control!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes Judy they truly are!!! But let the Creator know because many of them weren't aware that they're channels were opted in to the ads. It is a way to go in and opt out but it has to been done manually. You would be doing a service because so many don't know :)

[@KiwiJane1]

333Judy333 I kinda feel the same way about Pinterest, every other pic is a promotional ad and as a super visual (right brain) person, I find it incredibly distracting. Regarding KZbin, I was going to get the ad-free plan but I’ll be darned if I’m going to give them $30 a month!! I’d rather spend that on art & craft supplies.

[@crystallincoln8339]

Do you have a video on your scripting? How you come up with the letters or script you create. Thank you. Love the art you create!!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Crystal Lincoln Hi Crystal that has been a highly requested tutorial. I’ve planned a 2 part live online workshop for September I’ll be announcing it soon 😊💫

[@nancykahn4125]

Great tutorial, as usual...perhaps an emery board could rough up the stamp's edges

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes that would work nicely also! :)

I've seen people using instead of the scissors they use the metal of the aluminum foil that ripe the paper to make that affect.

Your content is wonderful! Robyn. Are you able to adjust the volume higher? Please and thank you.

It generally is higher, I noticed it was a bit low this time too, not sure why, I'm sure it will be back to normal next week, prayerfully :) Thx!

[@gaila.c.602]

Wow, Robyn.. re: YT taking channels off.. They better not do that! That's awful! I wonder if that is why YT started their own option for creators to have a "join" button where subscribers have to pay to watch some of their content? It sucks if it's a ban-width issue. That would be a shame if a lot of my favorite small, un-monetized craft & art creator channels were to go away. TFS

[@RobynMcClendon]

It really isn't fair, but because they are considered a privately owned business they can do what they want, just unfair! The platform was built on the backs of the small creative people that don't have a voice or money and they are the one's that will get booted off! So platforms like Patreon is fabulous for helping creatives that have built their businesses on YT to at least help compensate their gift of sharing.... Thanks Again Gail! xoxo
