All YOU have to do is mention The Frugal Crafter.

There is a dizzing amount of supplies you can use for rubber stamping. For this free stamping class we are going to keep things simple. I will go over a few other fun things to have later in the series but for now we are going to keep it simple and frugal:

Supplies:
Stamps-your choice but I recommend versatile images you can use for many occasions as well as a few sentiments (greetings)
*If you are using clear or cling stamp you will also need a stamp mount (you can use a piece of plexiglass or clear plastic packaging if you want in a pinch)

Color media-I will be using these 3 items in the course but you do not need to have them all if you are just starting out, pick the one that you think fits your style more. Look for multi packs to keeps your costs down.

Excellent advice! I've been stamping for over 30 years and even I learned something from what you shared. Thank you!

[BallooNeccesities]

Something I learned when I was on a more frugal budget years ago...old CD cases work as stamping blocks in a pinch...used a CD case as a block for my handmade wedding stationary.

Thank you! I have been waiting for this set of classes. My husband without telling me bought several hundred stamps, pads, rollers, embossing powder etc.He brought them home as a surprise for me. I have never stamped or made cards so I'm anxious to start.

Wow, take a breath.  Great job.  Went over all the basic supplies in 19 minutes.  That must be a record.

Hi Lindsay, Thanks for the video. You are a joy to watch and you always have a cheery smile on your face,   I always learn something,  and that is the main thing in life, looking forwards to tomorrow, Cheers Anna.

I just finished watching another video of ours and this one auto-played right after so I left on while I'm crafting and I just heard when you say to give you thumbs up if we think you're a lunatic and I laughed like the first time I watched it a month ago.  Then I look up at the screen and sure enough you have 1, 049 thumbs up!  LOL  We love you Lindsay!

This is the best video for beginners!  Thank U so much Lindsay.  I've collected a lot of stamps and ink pads over the past several years from the Goodwill.  I will now be separating them into different categories.  I can't wait to get started using the stamps on cards, scrapbooking and for school projects for the kids.

[sharonluebker]

Versatility is a great thing. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much for the info, smiles, giggles, and a laugh or two lol.

[lynnemorton]

Hi Lindsay, I cannot thank you enough. I have learnt more from this video than I have in the last year. I now know which inks go with which pencils, which cardstock to use n how to think about stamps n storage. I dont have to have the very best makes n everything I will need in the future ALL before I make my first card. You are a diamond, n im gonna luv these videos. Thank you again Luv from the UK ❤

Hi Lindsay. I love your stamp school video. I love stamping, ,but I have a lot to learn. you are the perfect teacher. Can't wait for the next class. Keep em coming.

[path]

Wow! I can barely remember when I started stamping! I think it has been close to 15 years now, and I'm still learning new things from you. :)  I love the Rock-a-Block stamp holders; they stamp such a nice image. Most of my older stamps on are wood blocks and I'm so tempted to take them off the blocks and put them in notebooks like yours, but I'd never be able to throw away the pretty wood blocks. LOL  Now I only buy the unmounted stamps.
I have always had the problem of buying duplicate stamps so I laid my stamp blocks picture side down on the scanner of my copy machine/printer and made pages of stamp pictures for a notebook. Then I could take it with me to the store to see if I already had a stamp before buying a new one. 
Can't wait to see what you are going to cover next time; love your videos.

I never realized that you had so much products from Stampin up!!!! My sister went to a Stampin up party over 20 years ago and we have been hooked ever I now have a huge craft room ( filled) thanks for the tutorial it's good to go back to basics some times.

[lizzystitch]

Oh goody!  I could use a basics review, and it's great for my summer ahead!  Thanks, Lindsay!  Being a grammar teacher, I always say you can't beat the basics!

[movedon]

I am just starting out getting supply's bit by bit so a great big thanks you read my mind Lindsay🙋🇬🇧🌹

[phorn]

Yippi Skippi!! So kool. A whole summer of stamping, working with color, learning techniques that will help ME to look more professional. AND, I am guessing that a whole lot of these lessons will be useful in color savvy with my budding watercoloring 'stuff.' Thank you Lindsay much. One Stop Schooling - no more hopping around on YT wondering when I'll find that one technique that will work like a charm for lots of projects. Also Art Neko is the cat's meow for shopping artsie stuff - even to me here in Germany. This husband and wife team goes the extra mile, and they are so down to earth, very kind and oh so caring...  I will have to sit tight on my energy level to wait for the next episode - maybe less butter in my one cup of morning jo? OH! maybe just keep the butter and work on getting my studio better organized! YES! that's what I'll do! Later Chick-a-Dee. ;) BTW loved the French braids this morning... pqh

I scrapbook and have dabbled in card making but never really got into it. Now I've been searching for all kinds of information, I wish I found you earlier. I did go out and spend a huge amount to get supplies because I wanted to take card making to the next level. I will definitely be looking forward to your next class and whati can learn from you. Thank you.

[lindaparsons]

I have tried stamping once before, but I didn't know exactly how to do it. After watching this one, which I think it is great, and others I am planning on trying it again. But I will watch your videos. I just love when you act silly and laugh. Being like that helps a student or person in learning something. I will be buying some stamps and other supplies.

[diana]

So awesome that you are doing this series of stamping classes! The first class was great and I'm looking forward to the next class. You're a great teacher. Thanks for sharing!

[barbarajodanner]

First day of summer school and I love my first class "Basic Supplies".  Newbie stamper here - but have already gone crazy last 6 months buying supplies - now I will be able use them without getting so frustrated.  Thanks for taking time to start with the basics. BJ

[annhubble]

Lindsay, I just LOVE your videos. I'm more of a card table in the corner of the guest room kind of a girl, but I love to hoard supplies. So interesting to see your studio. Am right in the middle of your precious Mothers Day seed packets (sorta missed THE day) but friends will enjoy receiving them, I know! Having such fun. Thank you for your wonderful work!!!! You do a fabulous job of teaching.
