A Moment of Clarity – Back to Basics on Stamping.

A Moment of Clarity – Back to Basics on Stamping.

Hi there

Thanks for popping in. If you were able to join in on the Moment of Clarity this afternoon, I do hope you got something out of the Back to Basics Stamping session!

These new Lino Cut stamps are absolutely perfect for learning the stamping ropes! Even if you don’t stamp out an image perfectly, it just looks like part of the design! I have actually caught myself trying NOT to stamp out the lower half of the stamp perfectly, so that it looked grungier!

If you missed the live stream, here it is, embedded in the blog. It’s quite long, but the first 20 minutes or so is just a Back to Basics tutorial on How to stamp. If you’ve been getting frustrated with your stamping, if the images have been patchy, if you are looking for some answers on how to improve your stamping, then the first 20 minutes might help….

Here are the Lino Stamps we have been using…

And here, as promised is a lovely Gallery, to give you some ideas. I have run out of steam, so the ingredients will have to be added over the weekend. xx

Many thanks to the talented DT for all their lovely work. And thanks again to Paul for helping so much. Have a great weekend xxx

Be sure to get your stamps in time for Part 2 of the Floral Lino Cut Stamping Craftalong on Wednesday, 2nd June 7pm.

Love always

Barb. xxx

    I hope you are feeling better today.

  8. Even though I have been stamping for years and it is my first love I throughly enjoyed this afternoons session. I think we all sometimes forget the little things that can make all the difference. Although I clean my stamps with water and a cloth I didn’t know it was safe to use alcohol blending solution as well so you really can learn something new everyday. Thank you so much and I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow. Xxx

  9. Hi Barbara I thoroughly enjoyed the session today. It is always good to go back to basics. It is easy to forget all the tricks and tips. My stamping can definitely do with improving. I love the artwork in this post. Have a good weekend. Take care. Hugs xxx

  10. Not able to watch today but we are hoping to catch up on Sunday. The wee mouse is my favourite of the small images -I’ve recently caught 13 of them in humane traps in my home. I just hope all the holes are now stuffed with wire wool and they make their homes elsewhere. I do like mice, just not making nests under my desk!!

  11. Thank you Barbara. I really enjoyed the lesson today. The beautiful ideas from the design team too. Made me just want to spread out in my small space and dip into this design and that and then that other one too. Like being in a stamping candy shop. Love these Lino stamps. Thank you xxx
