Stamping Basics - For Beginners

[@d.r.moundshroud818]

This didn't feel all that long to me. I got a cup of coffee, as you suggested, and watched while sipping. You explain things very well and the time just flew by. I'm very, very new to stamping and need clear, detailed descriptions. You really took your time and gave some great advice. I like that you say it's ok to use trial and error and coupons! ^_^ Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

***** Thank you very much! That's a wonderful comment to receive. Please let me know if you have questions while you're learning stamping. I would be happy to help. Thanks for watching! ~ Pat

[@lindamarker9534]

Very nice explanations of the various types of stamps and inks! Worth the time! Thanks!

[@bnichols1025]

I just got a boat load of wood mounted rubber stamps. This was so helpful! I hope you are well after all these years. Thank you so much! I think this is timeless too. i suppose the inks might be ever changing formulas but so far I have seen most of them for sale. I am retired and trying new crafts and projects.

[@torunakashima8218]

Wow! It did NOT seemed long at all. I really loved your 3-part tutorial. Since i'm new, this helps me a lot. I really love that big stamp towards the end, and I love how well the image turn out. Thanks! You inspire us tremendously. I want to see your big stamp collection some time!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

[@johncmullins5005]

Just want to comment on this tutorial! It is a perfect lesson for new comers as you've planned. You were not rushed and coverage was wonderful. I do cards for all occasions and focus on paper quilling but I am learning to integrate other media. There is so much to learn about inks and stamps and stamping. I think this will add a great deal to my cards and other small projects. Thanks for this, it was perfect for me.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

John, thank you! I'm so happy to hear that this video helped you. I have been wanting to learn paper quilling, but haven't taken the time yet to learn. If you have any questions in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you for watching! ~ Merry Christmas ~ Pat :)

[@annettep1363]

Great job! Thank you. Your tip about using the large stamp was really helpful, I never would have thought of that.

[@dmarti9876]

I watched the entire tutorial!! GREAT job!!! You answered many questions for me. I can't wait to start "playing" around with stamping since I am beyond a novice. Thanks again!!

[@XCALIBERNATION]

And I have never stamped before and bought a bunch of stamps and ink so I look forward to seeing this video! Thank-you!!!!!!

[@miagalore]

[@viviangrockigrocki682]

I love your video! I have learned a lot in a short time and now I know what to purchase. Can't wait to try this with my granddaughters! Thanks!

[@CrystalCammarota]

I was just thinking about how I want to start stamping, a lot of this information didn't even cross my mind. Specially that there are so many different types of inks. Thanks for taking the time to inform us.

[@nancysmith5259]

Thank you for this video. I am new to stamping, and not very good at it. You are very detailed and great at explaining about different inks and stamps. I appreciate you video.

[@carchielovespink]

Thank you so much Pat! I am glad that you did that for me, it gave me a lot of insight to stamping! That is a lot to know. I am glad you did the basics to be honest it looks like fun but I just never know what to buy or what is better wood or See through(acrylic). I am definitely going to give it a go and by the way, What is the best product to use to clean the stamps without damaging them? Thank you again~Hugs~Cathy

[@peggyr4507]

Awesome tutorial Pat! I'm new to stamping as well but I have been practicing & I love it! I'll def. be a stamp addict...lol! TFS Hugs Lyn

[@BabyRabbit22]

You know I was teasing you about your tatoo and saying it was a stamp. I just wanted to let you know that. Wow, I never heard of a stamp-pa-ma-jig before. That sounds like a name I would make up. You would make a great teacher. You explain things well. I can't remember what type of ink I have. I will have to go look. I am a perfectionist so I will be doing a lot of stamping. lol Thank you for sharing your tutorial. :)

[@Aaabbbccc457]

Thank you so much ❤️ this was very helpful! I really needed to know about clear stamps .. I can now go ahead and purchase them

[@jadesgifts]

Thank you for explaining the difference in acrylic and photopolymer, now it makes sense to me and It's like a "duh" moment. New to stamping but have beginner experience with both.

[@deskjockie4948]

I'm new to stamping too and it can get confusing with all the different types of inks and stamps. Thank you for your instructions, they were very helpful.

[@Rebecca-yp9bj]

I don't comment on videos often but had to say thanks for all the good info!

[@BabyRabbit22]

Hi Pat. How are you today? Hope you are doing well. Thank you for the tutorial. I did that video I said I was going to do. I had to do it over twice. LOL I am going to post your tutorial to facebook for those that don't know how to stamp. I think I have that last arcrylice stamp you metioned.The one with the lines on it. I would love to get one like the Fiskers though. Looks like someone stamped on your right hand. LOL ;) TFS :)

[@marthaltoner4087]

Thank you for sharing. I learned much about ink pads.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

You're very welcome!

[@Catherine-nb1xv]

Thank you ever so much for that. I am totally new to crafting and looking on different websites etc had seen some cheap stamps so thought I'd give them a try. Oh my days, what a mess I made lol. Using the stiff gummy feeling stamps by themselves really was not successful other than to cover myself in ink. I now know I need to buy an acetate block of some sort ... alternatively give stamping a wide birth even though it can all look very nice .... if not attempted by me. Thank you once again :)) :)) x 💛

[@marymccormack1757]

Thank you Patricia, so informative and covered a lot for a beginner like me.

Thumbs up to u thanks i got it. But whats the best stamps to buy. I have a (HOME Decor) business and i am going to use these but i want the best for my customers.blessings to u.

[@vivianginder5933]

Thanks, Patricia...that was very educational...I'm basically interested in rubber stamps since I have quite a few...and also in doing multi colors on my stamp...what is the best way to do that?? Let me know if you have more than one video to watch on your stamping? You explain and do a great job...thank you!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Vivian Ginder There are a few ways to do that. I will do a video in the next day or two showing you. :) Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you found my video helpful. ~ Pat

[@islandbreezematthew3590]

hi patricia is there any way you can mount a handle on the clean stamp ? i have one but i dont know if its better to get pressure needed

[@amymclaughlin1201]

Very helpful I'm new to stamping and this explained Alot of my mistakes so now I know what to do instead. I've made my own stampjig out of logos.

[@mollytigger]

I want to Thank You so very, very much. So, for me I would start out with the die based ink (memento) as I could also do embossing with that. Are the cheaper inks die based? Does it say "Die Based" on the ink packaging? You really have taught me a few things I wouldn't have thought of. I wouldn't have known how to use the bigger stamp. I know this probably sounds funny, but I did see those smaller stamps in the store and wondered how you use them, now I know.

[@karenwoolsey6430]

TY for sharing this! I never blame the stamp, just me the stamper!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

karen woolsey You're welcome! I always blame the stamp LOL kidding! TFW ~ Pat :)

[@QueenBeeBeautyXO]

Can you please help me?? I have some gorguss girls stamp that are bigger than the large ink pads.How do I get the ink on the stamps evenly?Can you do a vlog on how to do this? I would be so grateful I'd you could show me.I love these stamps and want to start using them.Thx so much....Teresa🐝

[@SuzanneElizabeth89]

You are such a genuine soul!!!

[@serendipity7577]

Hi Pat, What an amazing video, full of wonderful information! I was wondering if you could tell me where you purchased the last large rubber stamp from or who makes it? I googled for images and nothing came up. I grew up in Charleston and loved the stamp! Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Thanks! Well, I've located the stamp in my room lol - It doesn't have a name on it. However, it has a phone number which is 843-522-9966 The company name is Carolina Stamper and the stamp was made in 2001. I hope this helps you. I found this stamp at a thrift store so it was second hand to me so I can't even tell you what store to look at. If you don't have any luck with the phone number, you can try looking on Ebay or any of the other crafty sites. Have a great day ;)

[@serendipity7577]

Thank you so much! I will definitely check those sites out! Have a fantastic day, Pat! :)

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

+Wendy Perez You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jackiewornell9988]

I'm just getting started. I have a few supplies but I'm trying to get some tips and tricks from these videos before I go messing up my new paper products. this has been very helpful. I have block stamps and acrylic stamps but so far I have only picked up the small stamp pads from Michaels in the dollar bin. This video has helped me with the different types of stamp pads. I'm really looking at some of those distress inks but they are very expensive. I've watched the technique where you put them on with a sponge and I was wondering if it has to be the distress ink in order to do a little sponge painting or can I use the ink that I already have? Your advice would be very helpful and thank you very much for the video. God bless!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Jackie Wornell You can use the ink you already have. You can use any type of ink with a sponge. Just make sure you use a separate sponge for each color. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@sukumac9013]

Thank you so much. I'm so new to this that some phrases are foreign to me:). I will be using mostly stamps with a number of images; like landscapes. Which ink is best so that I can then fill in with watercolor paints. I know that you said you can use Copic and alcohol based markers with Memento but does that mean you can use paints as well. My thanks.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Suku Mac Yes, you can use Memento or StazOn for water coloring. Let me know if you have any further questions. I'm here to help. :) Thanks for watching! ~ Pat

Thank you for all making mistakes you made... lol.. it helped me alot . Because this way now, I know what I'm doing wrong. I didn't know before. :( I thought was my ink stamp. And so on.. so thanks. Love your videos.

[@vivianginder5933]

Hi, can you do more than one colored marker on a rubber stamp at a time? I'm new to using rubber stamps and would like to use colors on them...but don't have a clue how to do that...what kinds of markers to buy? etc...thanks.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Vivian Ginder Yes, you can use more than one color at a time. I use Stampin' Up's Stampin' Write Markers on my stamps. You also can use any marker that says it is specifically made for stamping. Those are usually sold at the big box craft stores, such as Michaels, AC Moore etc. The Stampin' Write markers can be purchased through my site, which is listed on my KZbin channel page. (Just click on my name and it will take you there) Thank you for your question and for watching! Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. ~ Pat :)

[@vivianginder5933]

Vivian Ginder Thanks for letting me know...I feel really stupid when it comes to these since I've never really done anything too creative with rubber stamps...I'm watching your video right now...Thank you for such a great video..

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Vivian Ginder Don't feel stupid! You are just learning! Everyone has to learn it at some time :) I was a beginner in your shoes not too long ago. You'll catch on. :) I'm on KZbin almost every day, so just ask if you have questions. I'll help!

[@vivianginder5933]

***** thanks Patricia...When I have more time...I'll be watching more...

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Awesome, thanks!

[@wildcatz42743]

What brand of clear blocks are you using? Love the video as I am a newbie to the stamping world. Would love to know where a good clear alphabet (large letters) stamp to buy.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Rene' Dunbar I use Inkadinkado stamp blocks usually. Stampin' Up has some nice blocks, but I haven't used them so I can't really tell you too much about them. But from what I've seen, they're good ones. I don't have a "preferred" brand really. I look for blocks that are thick and easy to grip. The thinner blocks are kind of hard to stamp with. I believe Stampin' Up has a large alphabet stamp set. You could check. The link is on my KZbin channel page. Also, I know Hobby Lobby used to have a large alphabet stamp set. Not sure if they still sell it or not. I got one a few years ago from there. I hope that helps. Let me know if I can help you with anything else. It's my pleasure. TFW ~ Pat :)
