2-18-10 Live Show: Basic Stamping

19 Feb

This live show was the first (of many) that we will be talking about stamping! Stamping has so many possibilities. We talked and showed you the basics to get you started and help you grow in your creativity. Thanks to all who participated.

First organizing our stamps: You could see on the live show how I store my clings, unmounted and clear stamps. I use 3-ring binders that you can find in any office store or department store with these storage boards. It has been the most simple and organized storage for me so far.

Also we talked about mounting stamps: I like to use EZ mount and I use a hot knife to mount them. You can see a video tutorial I have here showing how to use the hot knife. You can find these storage cases that also can be used in 3-ring binders.

We also talked about digital stamps: Digital stamps brings another diversity to the hobby. What makes them great (in my opinion) are these 3 things: their price, easy storage, and versatility.  I used Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol to color in the above card. If you don’t know how to color with Gamsol you can see my video tutorial here showing that process in more details.

Also this a video I made showing how to use these stamps on PSE. Subscribe to the Create Scrapbooks YouTube channel here so you can review all of our videos from the show.

You can watch the entire Live show from last night  (and see all the links & chat) here on the recorded archives. Simply click on the 2/18/10 link under the “Previous Discussions” column on the right. Let us know what you’d like to learn about stamping in upcoming future shows (leave us a comment below!)

2-4-10 LIVE show: Creating Cards and Flowers

5 Feb

We had a great time at the show last night! I want to thank everyone that was live with us! If for some reason you couldn’t join us live you can watch the recorded show on our application page (after 24hrs). You can also see more Valentine’s project photos under our photo album on our Facebook fan page.

The sketch I used on the show was from this website. Remember, sketches are a great way to get you started on cards and give you the jump start that we all need sometimes for our creativity! Another good site that I often use for cards and layout sketches is Page Maps. You can also just google card sketches and I’m sure you’re going to find many resources.

The sprays I used to color the dryer sheets and coffee filters were Ranger Colorwash and Glimmer Mist. To Put the flowers together I used a hot glue gun, but you can definitely use whaterver works for you: sticky tape, tiny glue dots, etc. I would just not recommend pop dots.

We have a lot in store for you, but we also would like to know what else you would like to learn – so stop by our Facebook Fan Page and let us know! Also, if you have any questions about this tutorials contact me at 2worldswings@gmail.com or leave a comment here on this post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jana
