This is great stuff. But one disclaimer for people: Stazon inks are very hard to clean vs. other inkpads. I would really caution picking them and personally favor pigment or dye inkpads. Unless you are planning to stamp on plastic or glass, you don’t need Stazon.

It is good to hear Antonia do a voice over again.

The comments section is a goldmine in genius tips!! 💡✨

My favorite tip was removing ink off of a solid stamp with a toothpick, pure genius!

If you are thinking of using your own pens/inks, I don't think they emphasized enough that you want to use WATER-BASED markers. You cannot use alcohol based markers on stamps - this includes Sharpies - because they won't transfer off the stamp onto your paper.

If you want to use a "waterproof" or "permanent" ink for an image, make sure it's specially designed for stamping.

Another tip when using the water based markers directly on stamps: if the ink has started to dry on the stamp, hold it near your mouth and exhale closely over the stamp to moisten your design again before pressing down on the paper. Especially useful if you are using a larger stamp or one with many details/different colors which took you a long time to complete.

Another great technique is the ‚kissing technique‘. You‘ll need two stamps (one detail one and one more solid stamp image). Ink your solid stamp and then, before stamping onto paper, stamp the (uninked) detail one directly on the solid one. This will remove ink from the solid one. After that, Stamp the solid stamp onto paper… it is similar to your toothpick idea, but without the risk of damaging your solid stamps…

I am into rubber stamping and scrapbooking for more than 20 years and I don‘t use StazOn ink pads at all. First, they stain the stamps but they also harm your stamps, especially photopolymer (clear) stamps. And never ever use StazOn cleaner with your photopolymer stamps. Avoid silicone stamps (usually poor quality), photopolymer is better. But red rubber is even better than photopolymer. Invest in good quality stamps and inkpads to get crisp stamp images. And stamp images can be coloured with any kind of colour, even pencils (like Faber Castell Polychromos). My personal favourite ink pad is Tsukineko Mememto Tuxedo black as it is a real pitchblack ink.

I like to use post-its to mask off areas. For example, in making a floral bouquet. Stamp on a post-it with the flower stamp and cut it out. Stamp
flower on paper, then mask the image (cover it with post-it cutout) so that another flower can be stamped next to it. The mask will allow the second stamp to blend into the bouquet because part of th😊e second stamp will be on the mask.

[stempelwerkbysandra]

Another idea is the ‚second generation stamping‘. If your ink pad is too dark, stamp the image off onto a piece of scrap paper, like a sheet of printer paper, and then stamp it into your planner. This second images will be much lighter. With this technique you can double the amount of colored ink pads you have. Or with very dark inkpads you can do a third generation stamping- just stamp two times off 🙂

[stempelwerkbysandra]

To #5 technique (coloring with markers): you don‘t need more pressure, that tends often into a unwanted halo. Just breathe onto your stamp before stamping, the moisture in your exhalation will work better than more pressure.

When we were kids, if the whole stamp didn't come out dark we thought we did it wrong. Now, it's called gradient. Who knew that our mistakes back then would be artistic now. Hahaha

Great overview! The only thing I want to add is that you can still colour in stamps without smearing if you don’t have waterproof stamp inks - you just need to use crayons.

Who ever is doing the instructions on this video is really good at what she does....

[MaryPrasadArt]

Some interesting ideas! Although whoever is stamping is putting too much pressure on the stamps - the design is getting distorted because the edges of the design are also being pressed down, plus there's too much ink on many of the stamps. To properly stamp, just cover the surface of the design (try not to get ink down the sides of the design) then stamp firmly, with even pressure but not hard enough to push the stamp so that the edges of the design squish onto the paper.

This is so aesthetically pleasing and clever

My recommendation is to put wax paper under any and all stamping projects you're working on. When you're done, just throw the wax paper away. Your work surface stays clean - no need to worry about staining/ruining it!

I love dot pens. I use them every day in my planner 😊

Never had the money to buy the clear stamps and inks so i just make them with foam sheets, also a fun thing, first few covid months were busy lol
