How I Make Stamps! Hand-carved and w/ Silhouette Mint Block Printing

[@jenniferweber8260]

Love these!! A little tip that I love to do with mine is before you trace the image onto it, paint the whole block white (or any light color that different than the block) so when you're carving its easier to tell where you've carved. These look great!!

[@Cecibug1]

What kind of paint? Just acrylics?

[@jenniferweber8260]

@@Cecibug1 yup!

[@gabriellegriffing3856]

hello, lovely video! just a warning, never cut linoleum towards you! you can really mess up your hand because those blades are extremely sharp. i had a professor who had a u-shaped scar in his hand from those linoleum carving tools. always, always cut away from yourself!

[@jadethegamermc]

I had a classmate that dug under her fingernail with one. I didn't see the aftermath, though.

[@danielengle8749]

Yeah I was carving Lino at school once and I was cutting towards me my hand slipped and the carving tool sliced into my thumb and it was nasty

[@stfustxph]

also steady the tip of the tool with your index finger (of the hand thats not holding the tool lol) so it wont slip that often/you dont carve too much

[@quirkysue3471]

Yep! I have a scar on my thumb from a lino cutter in grade 8 art class. 😂

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

Ngl, that would be a pretty cool looking scar in my opinion-I don’t want one though. 😂

[@mayyahbhatti4425]

just a reminder to not cut towards your hand! if you slip, you will cut your hands with the sharp blade and rlly hurt yourself (we did lino cutting in art (basically the same) and our art teacher constantly said this to us)

[@retrotimewarastral1406]

I felt this i accidentally hurt myself twice it wasn't fun 😪

[@elektro1207]

We did it in class too and we ran out of band-aids eventually

[@MerryMerryQuiteContrary]

I was carving in wood and stabbed myself in the left hand - I had been warned to carve away from myself but nobody told dumb 12yo me that I shouldn't hold the far end of the block with my left hand! Still have the scar, any palm reader will be bemused by my split life line xD

[@laoisesioal]

Yep, can second that. My thumb is still healing 😂

[@StrawberryNova]

Definitely!!!. Actually have bandaids on my hands right now from accidentally cutting my hands

[@helenhaii]

This reminded me of the time I made stamps in high school for art class! I love this 😍

[@carascrap]

we were making stamps (7th grade) and halfway through it covid happened 🥺

[@decentlysmartforanidiot8284]

we did that in first year! I live in Scotland so Idk what that is where you're from

[@helenhaii]

XxCheese&HamToastiexX same! I did this around 15 or grade 9

[@lyannastarkweather]

I just found this video and it took me straight back to eighth-grade art class. One of our projects was carving/designing our linoleum stamps and making prints from them. That was about ten years ago. I just remember it being one of my favorite art projects. I haven't done it since, but this video is really inspiring me to try it.

[@ruby6321]

YES i did this in an art class once too this is exactly why i serched for this video

[@sabinanye3559]

once I saw this video I literally told my mom " we have to go to Micheal's! " and then I got all the stuff and I just made a stamp and it turned out so cute! thanks for the tutorial!

[@CurrieGOAT]

So interesting, I have to try this!

[@KatieLazo]

You would kill it!! I love your videos btw! Found you from your punch rug vids, its cool to see you here!

[@zyrabanez]

These look really cute! Makes me wanna make my own stamps too 😍

[@InkHeart17]

I'm a beginner at this myself, but I've learned you don't have to trace the design twice. Once you've drawn it on the tracing paper the first time, you can flip it over onto the rubber you'll be carving and just use a blunt tool like the end of marker or the corner of a ruler to rub across your pencil lines. The graphite will be imprinted onto the rubber mat without you having to draw twice and worry about match the lines you just did on the other side of the paper.

[@rebeccas2801]

You can also just scribble over all the lines with the pencil rather than trying to draw over them exactly, that’s the method I do at least

[@chiabee14]

A good, cheap way to spread your ink before rolling is to use a sheet of glass. You can take one out of an old picture frame, it works better than foil (the foil wrinkles), and you can wash it out after and reuse it, so you produce less waste!

[@lucysherm]

You can buy linoleum and carving tools. We had to have them for our arts class in middle school

Love this video!! I have the Silhouette Mint and have made many stamps, it's so fun designing it and then the printing process 😍 You can actually mix the Mint inks and create new shades!!! 💗💗

[@mariojorgemcastro]

for the ink i usually put it on a piece a glass from a frame or a big acrylic rectangle will do the job too!!

[@sincerelymimee]

Ah ALWAYS so excited to see new vidoes on youtube from you! I've been rewatching your streams haha (sincerelymimee on there) because the community and your videos are always so relaxing and soothing! Loved the vlog style and seeing you get more comfortable in front of the camera! SO COOL. I've wanted to try doing that but I never really use stamps, but this was really satisfying to watch xx

[@veroniquehogan]

I recommend flipping your rollers so that it’s not resting on the roller part, but rather on the frame. :) That’s what we do with our rollers. Can’t wait to finish this video cuz I like it already! :)

[@cassiemartin5368]

That stamp making machine was awesome! I had never heard of anything like that before but now I want it. Thanks for showing how to make stamps, I'm gonna try my hand at it now.

You always give me so much inspiration, and get me motivated to draw and be crafty, up until the moment I realize I have zero artistic talent. At that point I head over to your shop and purchase your designs.

[@Ombrellifera]

Jenny, to transfer the pencil lines on soft pvc a specular design (with less work) you can draw directly on glossy paper for geometric planes, and then reflect and apply it on pvc. Unfortunately it don't work well on linoleum because it's too much hard for graphite!

[@glimpse_within]

The dislikes must be jealous of Jenny’s amazing talent 🤩🥳💕

Okay. I didn't know this was a thing. I was looking for a better solution than stickers for my store to place on gift/ shipping boxes.

[@ilonaschneider5532]

[@alecoloxa]

The inserted part of the mint can be reused (with some third party consumables). I think this is no longer being offered from silhouette because the high cost of the "extras" you need besides the machine.

[@imtomi653]

You should put the ink on a piece of glass, take the roll and go on the ink with a back and forth motion, than left right, so the roll picks up enough ink, than take your piece of lino, put some ink, than you put the paper on the top of the lino, and use a spoon to push down the paper in an even way :) Your lino prints will be so much nicer :D

The Roman numeral is definitely wrong, since you're not supposed to ever put two V next to each other. But the that's virtually the only blemish in that design. I absolutely love how that moon stamp looks 😍

Yeah I was trying to figure out what number is that even supposed to be. 29??

It’s recommended to place your brayer (the roller) on its back so the rubber roller won’t dent on the sides it’s stored on :)

[@youknoweverything7643]

Instead of using pencil to re trace it on to the pad there is a tool called a scribe it has a paint brush type handle and a little metal round ball and you just quickly trace over the tracing paper to transfer it into anything you want with out spending a lot of time retracing it you just apply pressure and rub over the whole area until you rubbed over the whole tracing and boom it's transfered quickly

In case you care, VVIXX isn't correct, but XXXI (VV is two fives, you can swap out an X for ten) is thirty-one. VVIXX looks cooler though, and I love the stamp regardless
