Stamping & Card Making 101: The Best Complete Guide

[@ellengates7843]

I am a long time stamper & scrapper, this video was so outstanding for the very new and the "old-timers" - very well done. Thank you!

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

I’m sooo in ❤️ with your Butterfly Cards great job.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mstawksalot5141]

I just love how you address all of us “newbies”. So helpful. Such variety. Thank you.

[@deannamcdonald4442]

I love this video. I have been stamping for about a year now and you’re right about the quality of paper. Stampin Up is the one and only choice. Love your ideas and how you make one stamp set go a long way. It can be overwhelming at times but you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful ideas. That collection of cards would make a lovely gift for someone special!

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Love how you made many different pretty cards with a simple clean design… lovely! Thanks!

[@fernzazzetta4651]

Thank you Jackie! Still loving the Gingham 😁💕🐨😘

[@leeking957]

Thanks Jackie for giving us, the old forever stamped that are always looking for new ideas, otherwise I get bored and tired of stampin'. So thanks again, and. I know how important it is to have someone to help the newer ones, that is so important. Blessings, Lee

You're a great teacher Jackie. Nothing scary about that for the newbies to card- making. Simple instructions, useful information and lovely cards as a result. Merry Christmas from sunny NZ 🎄

Yes that definitely is me!! Thank you for all the info.❤

They are lovely and such good inspo for beginners thanks

Fabulous!!

I love watching you Jackie I have only just started making cards and I love all the products you use! ❤️

[@ferdigoogle1587]

Wish you had been around, and You tube was available when I started stamping. Customer service actually taught me.

[@edithgonzalez3402]

Great presentation for beginners Jackie! Well done!

[@karenjoslyn4051]

Thanks for these tips❤

[@jennieportonova2952]

Nicely done, Jackie! Great tips for a newby stamper.

[@lindaray1222]

A nice back to basics...and wish I had watched before packing to spend the winter in our RV. I took some stamping things but deciding what to take (or leave home) was hard. This would have helped me focus. I am going to make up some all occasions card sets for some non crafty friends.

[@kathleenzuckerman5912]

Can so relate to your story of when you first started stamping. Great video

[@nancylogan9947]

I loved your demonstration! I am a newly and and very excited to get started.

[@heidirichardson4988]

Love them! I like the purple best!

[@lindaflanders5088]

Wow, you packed a lot of great information and tips into this one video. Thank you. You’re the best!

[@kiiwiispice]

So inspiring & informative!

[@sherrywoodard8562]

Your cards are sooo cute! I loved the video and your easy to understand directions!

[@heidirichardson4988]

Thank you so much for your information, I recently became a demonstrator, about a week ago. I’m collecting things and putting things together so I can start really working on making cards. I really enjoy watching other people do cards to give me inspiration, and you really inspired me with your cards simple but beautiful thank you!

[@raydeehunt3649]

This are fabulous cards! Thank you for doing a video for beginners. I've been at it for awhile and a hobby demo for 10 years, but your giving the basics supplies is so helpful for me to share with others. I'd like to step up my game, and you are such an inspiration!

[@patriciacornelius1588]

Very good teaching video

[@susanglasgow232]

Great video!! Incredibly helpful for everyone, but I really appreciate it as a beginning stamper. So glad to be able to share with my friends who are interested in card making in this time when we are all spending more time at home and still want to connect with others through sending happiness through the mail.

[@suecorke3421]

Fantastic vid Jackie thank you I would love a catalogue if possible please? X

[@janetmuir6011]

lovely cards and great advice on mixing colours.

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Thanks so much for this great video. I wish I'd known about you when I started with SU because I bought a lot of stamps and not always the punches or dies and I have a problem with fussy cutting because I have essential tremor in my hands so from now on I will always get the coordinating dies or punches. When it comes to the card stock, I always jumped around and I think your suggestion of sticking with Bright then moving on with the other types. Excellent video whether a newbie or not! Blessings and hugs from Canada! Stay healthy and virus free!

[@lorrainemorgan7451]

You make it look so simple. Thanks so much

[@created2bless322]

Love these!!! Great starter set or addition to anyone’s arsenal of stamping supplies! Beautiful cards!❤️

[@philomenasosso9416]

Love them all. Note cards are the greatest for fast and easy great cards.

Another great video,i wish i found you sooner.Thanks again.

[@marycoughlin5645]

You did it once again. Thanks

[@bevpage5441]

Sorry Jackie - I keep forgetting to hit the like button, even when I comment. Thank you again for these lovely ideas for such cute cards. I really love them and they are so sweet and bright.

[@jt2553]

1) Instead of separating stamps with scissors, I wipe off the ink of the image I don’t want on my card. 2) Non-stick scissors are helpful if you might cut through adhesive. I love your simple cards!

[@carolsoutar4719]

What beautiful cards, thanks Jackie.

[@margiehill1325]

This was so, so, so helpful !! I wish I’d seen it when I began stamping 6 mos ago. My story was exactly like yours-shopping and buying whatever looked “fun” and ending up with a hodge-podge of supplies and no idea of how to proceed. Thank you this has helped me gain focus and xiretion

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

Great point, Jackie; I never thought about trying to pull my own products together and that they wouldn't have matched or worked cohesively. Thankfully, I started from the very beginning with Stampin' Up introduced by a friend of mine who was a demonstrator. She invited me over to her house to do "stamping", and I thought she meant postage stamps! 😂😂😂 Needlessly to say, I was pleasantly surprised that we actually made cards!

[@nyokamullins4000]

Hi Jackie, I just have to tell you again how much I enjoy your Idea's on card making, and for the fact that you are not just focusing on selling the stamping up products, although they look very nice, I have 3 boxes on my steps outside to open, because of the covid 19 virus, I just leave them outside for a few hours, but excited to open them. I'm new to card making also, but so far so good, learning by my mistakes, I guess the hardest thing is stamping, i'm full of ink. and learning to cut straight. I would love to have you as my demonstrator, but I selected one before I saw your videos, and learned that you were in Michigan also, it's early May and snow is spitting. Tks again for the tip's and have a great day, Nicky in cold Michigan.

[@nyokamullins4000]

@@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis thank's Jackie, I do have a tendency to push too hard, got to check out my blocks, I think in time it will all come together, got my supplies and I must say they are really great and of good quality, getting ready to order my stamp pads and ink pens, tks for the reply and happy stamping Nicky

[@vayes7958]

Congrats on 25 years... Awesome I agree about buying random stuff...I have quite a bit of stuff I was attracted to but haven't used. Great video... I've been making cards for some time and loved the cards and tips.

[@ThePattysc]

This video was absolutely wonderful...

[@lavontallard2451]

Love this tutorial. I’m family new at card making. We are going o a 5 week vacation and I want to take some crafting things with me. I was almost resigned to leave card stuff home because it would be so much stuff! I have just the set of stamps and punches that will be great after watching your video.

Stampinup makes stamping so easy. I’ve been a customer for 16 years.

I am going new to stamping so I really enjoy watching you. I need a catalog so I know what to do. I also paint in watercolors but need help with the putting it all together! I wonder if you every lived in Grand Rapidis , because your name is like some one who went to my school.

Jackie, great info. Your video was helpful even though I have stamped fr a bit. I could have used these tips and advice when I was starting out! Thanks for making this video.

I loved your video, it explains everything so well, You are a good teacher, your cards are beautiful. I did watch the original video, I’ve watched most lol, Thank you, very very pretty, saved for future reference.

I am new in card making and crafting. Enjoyed your KZbin videos. Just wanted to ask where I can get the catalog in this video, can I get an electronic version?

[@evamoreno6205]

Hi 👋. I'm new to all of this. Just ordered the kit or stamps with punch you used in this demo. How can I get a catalog and I used you are my demonstrator. Please let me know how I can get catalog and what I need to do. It's very confusing for me.

[@vickynollam8831]

Thank you for the great video of ideas on how to get started. What do you clean your stamps with? Is the ink water based?

[@suziec9959]

I’m watching you on our big TV but wanted to comment. You said you started with Stampin’ UP! in 1995? I think I bought my first stamp set from SU! sometime around then. I didn’t really get into cardmaking seriously until 2002, but quickly realized I was the perfect candidate as a Stampin’ UP! customer ... the color coordination converted me and, as they say, the rest is history😉

That sounds like me...buy this, buy that but coming to using everything I'm still trying to put it together.

[@edithritchison9963]

I love my paper cutter, but I found an anomaly. I found that when I tried to score my whisper white at 4 1/2, it doesn't fold right. It's always a bit short on one side. But when I move the paper 1/16 inch further before I score, the score is perfect. Other than that, this is my favorite cutter.

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi Edith what card size are you using? Try scoring at 4 1/4.xxx

[@edithritchison9963]

@@WendysCraftDen I score at 4 1/4, but it is always just a fraction off. I find if I move the CS over to the next 1/16th .mark, it works fine. It does the same thing when I score at 5 1/2. I have to move the paper over a smidge to make the score even. Maybe my trimmer is off or something. Anyone else have this happen?

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi Edith sorry I thought you said 4 1/2. Do you score first and then cut? I know if I score and then cut it is a little out. Have a look at Liz Yuille video where she does a review on the trimmer.xxx

[@edithritchison9963]

@@WendysCraftDen Nope. I measure, cut and then score. Thanks for all your advice and help. Have a very merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.

Hi Edith, I have the same problem with my card stock in the UK drives me nuts, I will give your 1/16” a go I was cutting it off, but your way I won’t need to so Thanks xx💚 and also a merry Christmas to you xx

[@lindaroane4306]

New to stamping and have made the mistake of single stamps. That aside, I have purchased "new stamps" in cellophane but they don't ink. Do you have to activate? Could it be the stamp (rubber abd/or silicon)

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I am not sure what you mean by cellophane stamps. Is that how they are packaged? As to why they won’t ink I really don’t know. If they are a lesser quality stamp it could be the stamp or the ink you are using.
