NEW Stamps!!!!! Making Stamped Ephemera for Junk Journal

[@chamelaroo4683]

I personally don't mind it when things don't go perfectly in a video. I like to see how to problem solve and fix problems I might have. I love your creativity! Thank you for sharing

[@angelathoma-dogwoodpaperarts]

I know you had problems with the stamp and getting it to stamp-off, but I am so glad you did as now I know how much you have to stamp it off when it's a new stamp. I will play more with my new stamps now so I can get them functioning properly. Love these ideas! Wishing you a beautiful day, Angela

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Angela, everyone has come up with such great suggestions for getting the best out of stamps, I really need to play more. Hope you’re having a great day also x

[@sherryliberto6749]

That was a beautiful butterfly stamp and that was a super fun play! Have a super fantastic day 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry

[@lynngudgeon9416]

I love the stamps, so pretty. The booklet looks so lovely, the colors are so pretty 🙂.

[@jaimatibhaga7598]

Lovely stamps. These boots fit this project perfectly.

[@missrosethiessen9487]

What a cute booklet. Very nice coloring/painting with the ink pads & water. So pretty.

[@lauragaudry3402]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing you new stamps and process. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦🎄

[@danacolosimo5874]

Love the stamp ❤️❤️ and the trifold 😘 thanks for sharing 😘😘😘😘

[@tuthillg]

Gorgeous stamps! I have found that using a mouse pad or that spongy, foamy stuff that glass is often wrapped in when shipped, works as a sort of cushion underneath the paper that is being stamped and helps the stamps to create an even stamping. I see others have suggested ways to break in the stamp as well. Love creacked pistachio too! Yummy! Gorgeous little booklet! Love the cover! TFS the inspiration, Tina!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Gail, everyone has so many great suggestions for using stamps. I must try a few of the suggestions. Yes that Cracked Pistachio is gorgeous isn’t it? Stay safe and well x

[@marthamcneely207]

I LOVE the butterfly stamp! The black soot was perfect to edge it!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, the black soot definitely requires a light touch I think 🤔 , lol x

[@JunkJournalTreasures]

Beautiful stamp! Love how the piece evolved...also love the shoe on the front! 💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Jo Ann, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving x

[@kimbain4368]

Love the new stamps. Your project is lovely!

[@boomartin3495]

Tina, if you stamp with Versa Mark ink & then with your colored ink, it will help. The Versa Mark will hold the ink on the stamp.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you, so many fab tips on here x

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

This was very fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.🇨🇦

[@margieryne6220]

Hi 🙋🏻 Tina, pray you’ve had a fantastic day!🥰

[@imkindaartsyfartsy]

Hi Tina! It is FUN to play! We all need to do more of it. Thanks for the inspiration you little enabler, lol

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol x

[@isabelbustos2293]

Yes woodware is available here. They are awesome.

[@julieheudebourck]

You have a pallet beside you, you have a Tim holts glass board. Use the white section for the distress inks xx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Julie, I always forget about that little pallet x

[@lalagamma4452]

Everything you do comes up so beautiful Tina! 🥰🐞😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Lala x

[@karenbetts8271]

Mrs.Tina i love the new stamps. When i get new stamps . i use a emory board its a paper finger nail file and file gently over the new stamp the part of the stamp they meets the ink. I saw a video a while back on youtube. AND IT WORKS AMAZING. CRISPER IMAGES. GIVE IT A TRY. AND TY FOR SHARING I LOVE THE EMPHEMERA FROM STAMPS TY

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Karen for your great tip, I will give it a try x

[@shannone1830]

Someone may have already stated this but just a quick FYI regarding new clear stamps. Most have an oil on them from the making process and will cause them to resist the ink. I always “clean” my new ones with an eraser like children use. It works wonders and make your stamps work right away when you put ink on them. Thanks for sharing your talents!! 💜

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much, I will try that x

[@grahamfox931]

Morniing Tina, thank you, once more, for a lovely and interesting tutorial. The butterfly stamp is gorgeous and looks really good on the book page. I agree with Kendra steck, if you put a bit of paint on your mat or on a saucer and then use the water brush, it is easier. Loved this video and the time spent with you. Sending love and blessings. Hope you and your family are all well and safe. Diana - Cape Town South Africa

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Diana. Also for the tip about the ink on the mat, I am so rubbish with these types of things, as I very rarely get "artsy" x

[@prof.mommyarty]

Hi, I got a tip that helped me loads with new stamps. You just rub over the surface with a microfiber cloth and it removes any residue from the manufacturing process. I love stazon because you can colour, paint etc over it and it won't budge. I'm loving your stamps too 😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you, great tip. Yes, I love Stazon x

[@pamrugman1998]

Love the way it evolved today, you will have some fun with those stamps, love Woodware great stamps and good price

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes they have some lovely stamps don’t they? They’ve bought out some really nice ones recently, these included x

[@sheiclackum5482]

Just WOW! Your videos are so great that I can actually 'like' them before I watch them...

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much, that is really kind of you x

[@heidiheirigs1087]

You can try fingernail polish remover to see if you can get your acrylic stamp block clean. I tried it on mine and it worked. Enjoyed watching your process. 😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much for the great idea x

[@vivienneparfitt2002]

Hi Tina love the technique great video best wishes Vivienne x

[@marymaloney1519]

Lovely the broken china is the same color as your ring . So many idea's thanks Tina ☺

[@gailcroslin1647]

You might try rubbing over new stamps with a brown paper bag. It's just enough to take the hard finish off without damage to the stamp. It's a hint an instructor gave me years ago and I've used it since. I always get a great stamp after.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea, thank you x

[@lindahurlock-sewoneofakind6155]

Hi Tina, that booklet came out so nice!!Sometimes when I use a large stamp like that, I lay the stamp on the table and place the paper on top and press on the paper to get a good stamped image. It works pretty good most of the time. Sometimes I accidentally move the paper and don’t get a good image though 😉. Hugs 🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That’s a great idea for bigger stamps, hope you’re having a great day x

[@theresatompkins1705]

Well done! You’re creative bravery is such a joy!

[@quirkycat2489]

Stazon is good, but it can damage clear stamps due to the high alcohol content, so once used the stamp should be cleaned with Stazon stamp cleaner or a damp cloth. Cleaning stamps is a good habit to get into because ink builds up on a stamp and it won't stamp as well or crisp. Always enjoy your videos.

[@JournalJourneyArts]

Try putting your ink on the white mat on your board. that’s what is made for 😊

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you, great idea x

[@sherryrector2275]

See I like the hint of colors.

[@mrsdscraftdesk]

The wax made the colors and the black stamp just pop! It went from kind of pastel to vibrant.

[@turidsoma6712]

A good advice for new stamps is to go over them with an eraser before you use them 🤗.

[@killhannaah]

Such good advice!

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

I was going to say the same thing. Also stamping on a mouse pad helps get a better impression with some stamps.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you, I had never heard of that before x

[@kendrasteck1078]

if you rub your ink on the glass mat then you can dip your water brushes on the table in the ink, to paint . your video was really neat to watch though, I forget to do things like this.

[@killhannaah]

Yes! I love doing that. Such a great use of distress ink and oxide!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea, thank you, I don’t very often do projects like this x

[@annahaddock9081]

I love using stazon but some clear stamps don’t always work well with it, so I sometimes use versafine

[@Craftyalicreates]

Lovely Tina, I like to paint on book pages too. Your new stamps are very nice 💕

[@Samreen0987]

Wowwww...your stamps are wonderful🤩you always create such wonderful stuff😊Thanks for sharing..l will try this😊

[@karenboney3727]

So lovely.

[@patriciathornhill4338]

If you count to ten before you lift the stamp it gives time for the ink to sink into the paper.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea x

[@barbararussell2318]

Putting a stamp pad under to give a little compress ability may also help with the larger surface.

[@billieprd]

Loved, loved, loved your folder pocket, Tina! WooHoo...I have the Vintage Swallowtail Stamp, Woodware stamps, stamp out so nice and they're available here in Oz which is awesome lol! Hope you get time to play with the other stamps! Take Care! X

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh that's fantastic, I wasn't sure whether they were aailable everywhere or not, yes they have got some really lovely ones out at the moment. Stay safe x

[@sassycrafterfromalabama2373]

These stamps are so pretty! I like stays on as well. I have never had luck with the technique. it's not for me I don't think Try some rubbing alcohol on your clear stamps that usually get ink off of stuff give it a whirl and see if it actually works

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes Stazon is great isn’t it? I must confess that I am far too lazy to clean my stamps 🙃😉 x

[@joank8370]

I have discovered the joy of watercolor pencils and I use them like this. It's an addiction really 🤣

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Whatcolour pencils are lovely aren't they? x

[@coffeepaperscissors4408]

Gorgeous!

[@heatherb7491]

Hope your son was okay, perhaps you could let us know in the next video. Loving the new stamps. Xx

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Heather, he was fine thank you x

[@donnasmith9042]

Good Morning Tina... Look at you stepping up your game🤭 it turned out great as always! I have the same glass mat as well and if you rub your stamps on the white side, and then use your water pens it's much easier and you can just wipe it off... I color my seam binding this way also. Hope you have a wonderful day.. it's Thanksgiving Day here in the States... Time to do the cooking🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Donna for the reminder about using the white palette for the inks, great idea for using it for colouring seam binding etc too. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving x

[@jens.106]

I also love the smell of Stazon! 🤣

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

It’s yummy isn’t it? Lol x

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Tina, I was told never to use Stazon ink with the clear stamps, as that ink can ruin them. Just thought I would mention it.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I have heard that too, I haven't ever had a problem, but maybe certain stamps would be more prone to perishing? x

[@donnaswisher8408]

Cool stamps. Love the boots. TFS 😊

[@barbaracabrera207]

Maybe if you put something that resists wax across where you want to fold the page or put tape on it before you wax. That might help the "making signature fold" reinforced???

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion x

[@Velishea]

Most alcohol based Hand Sanitizers will clean Stazon Ink or other ink, off your clear stamping block & stamps (red rubber or clear) if you clean it relatively soon after stamping, squirt let sit for a moment and use cloth or baby wipe to clean off. Depending on the length of time the ink sits on the stamp you may have to apply a few times, but most residue will be removed. Not 100% if it works if ink has sat on surface for long periods of time.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you for your great tip, I have to be truthful and say that I am too lazy to actually clean my stamps!!!!! x

[@Canadianrobin27]

Personally, I would never introduce a wet paint brush directly on the stamp pad. It leaves a spot with no ink in that area. Some people rub the ink pad on a stamp block or the glass cutting mat and then pick up the colour with the water brush. Lovely as usual.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much for the tip, I will try and remember that x

[@karensumner3772]

[@pamrugman1998]

Single book page is probably too think you need a cushion behind, either pad of pages like you ended up with or a foam stamping pad, or even some pages and a foam sheet?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea Pam x

[@CarolinesCraftTree]

those are wonderful stamps. never heard of that company before.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I am not sure if they are just over here in the stores? X

[@barbaracabrera207]

To reinforce fold on page, what if you put some sort of mesh or gauze or fabric, and melt it into the wax when you first wax the paper???

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That's a great idea x

[@barbaracabrera207]

@@shabbydabbydoodah Sorry, but I keep getting ideas and want to tell you. I'm an over-achiever,..so you must excuse my interruptions!! Haha! Austin, TX USA

[@MsCommonCentz]

Love the film strip stamp!!

[@najavejersgaard4077]

Jeg har lært at inden jeg skal bruge et nyt stempel, skal jeg med en ren hånd køre på stemplet i nogle minutter.

[@barbaracabrera207]

I really like painting the stamped image with water brush & ink pad! I think it looks great!!! You have great ideas and are willing to experiment. I LOVE IT!!! I'm getting very excited now to try bees wax. I watch at least 1 of your videos almost DAILY. You've used bees wax in several videos now. And my imagination is going wild to try different ideas with it. *** QUESTION: Does the bees waxed paper stay greasy or "wet" at all??? Or does the wax completely solidify??? Need to look for an IRON when I'm out today. I checked Amazon last night. But the reviews were terrible unless you would pay $50 for an IRON. Need to make a stop at a thrift store for a cheap used iron!!! Its cold & rainy here today. So ironing seems like a great idea. I seldom iron my clothes. But I DO iron my dyed papers. I felt kinda weird IRONING PAPER!!! But I saw many videos with people ironing dyed paper for their junk journals!!! I like to know there are women out there being MORE EXTREME than me!! Haha! Thanks for the video. Stay safe & well. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY! Austin, TX USA

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, I did laugh when I read your comment, I am exactly the same.....I never iron my clothes but do iron my paper!!! Yes, a thrift store is a great idea to pick up an iron. They napkins do have a slightly greased texture using this method, but not that it comes away on your hands or anything. Hope you manage to get an iron, Merry Christmas. Have fun playing x

[@sherryrector2275]

If you tear the doilies so the whole butterfly shows it would be better

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you, sometimes I just don’t think of these things. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday x

[@helenaek3899]

Hi, i am just a beginner on this. I have looked at severals clips on KZbin. I am waiting for a huge package to arrave this week. My plan is to do a witchy junk journal. And I loved your creation. It is so beutiful. But your boots...where can i get them? I loved these boots.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much. How exciting that you are awaiting a parcel :-). A witchy journal will be fun, and those boots would be great with that theme too. The boots are from my Glue Book Favourites set 4 x

[@lucy7b]

Thank you, how does the beeswax paper glue?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I also wondered how well it would glue, but so far it seems to be holding pretty well x

[@sherryrector2275]

The wax isn’t as good as a dry page Tina. Think about it. There is a filmy surface with any wax

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I hadn’t really thought of that, great point x

[@pamrugman1998]

Could you tell me where you got your nice big bag of beeswax please?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I love this book! Those boots I love it’s a great tuck spot that larger one! I like the bees waxed paper. I think I need to get some. This turned out wonderful. You will get the hang of the stamps. I prefer smaller ones a d I don’t use the blocks that much. Also I have a mat that I use when stamping and it helped tremendously with my stamping. I will look up what it is called and let you know.

I love stamps... press you distress oxides on the white part of your glass mat then your brush and water. It will wipe off when you are done. You need to go live so we can help you as you craft... we would be typing in all caps yelling at you... not really. I sent you an e mail of a little project. Stay safe ❤❤❤

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I can't watch. You are destroying those oxide stamp pads introducing water directly to them. As others have said, please used the media mat. It's made for that. Stamp directly onto it with the oxide pad. Then use the water brush.
