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!

Christmas Banners

I think I'm on a 'banner' roll!  Banners are so cute and easy - and a great way to use up scraps!  And you could either go with the little pearl berries - or color them instead and use a little Crystal Effects to give them shine.

 

The banners were cut 1/5" wide and 5", 4", and 3" long.  These could be lenthened to suit your taste. The ends were cut using a 1.5" square punch.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe

Stamps: Easy Events, Petite Pairs

Ink: Early Espresso ink pad, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze markers

Paper:  Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze cardstock, Comfort Cafe DSP

Extras: 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 2.5" scallop circle punch, 1.5" square punch, bone folder (to curl up the banners), pearls

Inspired by:  Connie Babbert
