Saturday Morning Videos: Markering Your Stamps


Good morning and welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons Videos! I want to show you a fabulous technique with a fun tool that is perfect for any stamper. It's a Stampin' Write Marker! It inexpensively expands your ink selection—allowing you to stamp images in any color (or colors) you choose!

Here are a few tips:1. Breathing. You always want to "huff" on your stamps after you color them to moisten the ink right before you stamp. 
2. Next—tapping. After coloring your image, just tap the image with another marker, and you get a cool two-toned effect! 
3. When markering your stamps, if you color outside the lines, you can always remove any unwanted ink easily with a Blender pen.
4. And don't forget about spritzing. (You can do this when using an ink pad too.) After you are finished markering the image, just give it a spritz with water and it changes the way the stamped image looks. It gives it a softer, water-colored look. 

Markering allows to you get every color on the stamp, perfectly, without any other steps. Markering your stamps opens up a whole world of possibilities. Try it today!  And thanks for watching cartoons videos with me today!  If you're in the mood for cartoon video reruns, check out my Videos page!

Saturday Morning Videos: Kissing Technique

Good morning and welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons Videos!  Have you ever heard of the kissing technique?

We're not talking about the technique with your sweetie—we're talking about the one with stamps! Check out this sample featured in this video, see how the butterflies have an extra texture? It's the beautiful product of two stamps getting together!

And in the other sample, see how the hearts have the crisscross design? It's so easy, here's how you do it: (We're using clear mount because it's a little easier to see.) You will need one bold image and one patterned image. Ink up the bold image and then "kiss" the un-inked patterned stamp to the bold ink image. The un-inked stamp will pick up some of the color leaving you with a delightful texture.


I hope you give (stamp) kissing a try!  And thanks for watching cartoons videos with me today!  If you're in the mood for cartoon video reruns, check out my Videos page!
