Other Ways to Use Stamps in Scrapbooks

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Stephanie I'm just going to talk about a few other ways that you can use stamps and inks more than the traditional ways. One fun thing to do is sometimes you might have a stamp and you just don't have the right color of pad. An expensive thing to do is just to buy markers. With the markers, you can just color the parts of the stamps that you want to use. And also it's a good way to use a couple of different colors on you know one stamp. I'm going to use green on this and then I'm just going to color the rest of these blue. They don't stay as wet as our regular stamps, they call it huffing and you kind of go (huuh) blow on it to get it wet again and then you stamp the image just like you would a regular stamp. And see it caught the different colors and it just gives it a different look than it would with the pad. Another thing you can do or you can get small little pads like this and just use the pad as an embellishment. Stamp it, you've got a neat little square you can write on, push it you got a different look, it's a texture kind of look and kind of fun. Another thing you can do with a stamp pad is wet a little watercolor brush, just a little bit and rub the sides of the pad and then you can kind of paint inside of that and it gives it a watercolor look. That way you're using the same color you've already did but just a varying shade and it just gives a totally different look. So you can just experiment with the pads, you can do that with big pads, it doesn't just have to be with big pads. You can use this to color in stencils or writing that you've done to ink the edges. Whatever that you want to do to use it. So just get creative and play with your stamps and have a good time."
