Position your painter's tape at the TOP of your letter line rather than the bottom. That way you can slide the stamp up until it touches the tape, then tilt it back to see the reflection (for your left-right alighment), plus putting the tape at the top means it won't interfere with any low-hanging letters. Not sure how this would work with mixed-case since I only work with upper case.

All sizes for the letters are listed in the product descriptions for each set. You can also click on the "Create Stamped Jewelry" tap at the top of the site. This page contain helpful charts and information regarding letter sizes, font types, and what size blanks you can use with what letters. All of these are guidelines and you can really work with what you like. Start with a font you like and you will enjoy getting started with stamping! Good luck!

Thank you for some helpful instructions. I learned that somethings work and even though you're an "expert" it still didn't work as well as you tried to demonstrate. Which actually helped me to know I that it always doesn't work, even with practice. But I will keep doing it. This wasn't a dig, just an observation. It was a good video. 🙂

@beaducation Жыл бұрын
stamping on half round is very very difficult. Either you have the flat side down and you are stamping on the round side where there isn't much flat space to impress into or you have the round side down so it's wobbly. Flat pieces are much easier :)

Hi there! I think you are asking about the blanks you can stamp on? We carry a variety of metals. If you are allergic, maybe you should stick to sterling silver. It depends on your sensitivity.

Do you have to anneal heavier metals, i.e. 20 or 18 gauge nickel silver before stamping? If so, do you need to re-anneal after each stamp?
@beaducation Жыл бұрын
for metals like Nickel or Brass or sometimes Sterling, yes, I would anneal first. No need for Aluminum. You shouldn't need to anneal more than once unless you are doing a ton of stamping like a big overall pattern.

Interesting video. I’m getting ready to stamp my aluminum control box cover. I’m thinking of using blocks to register the vertical position of each letter. Secure a straight metal bar across the piece and use that straight edge to position the flat side of the stamp. Will that work? I might even have another metal block in the vertical direction that moves with each new letter. What kind of fonts do you have? I’m looking for a particular one. Can’t remember the name right now but I’ll get back to you on that. Thanks for the info. Paul
@beaducation Жыл бұрын
Interesting project Paul. You will need to have something hard behind the cover of the box to add the resistance for the stamps. Seems like your lining up method might work but only with uppercase letters. The lowercase letters aren't always positioned correctly on the stamp.

I am brand new at this! Amazing video. I bought some inexpensive ImpressArt aluminum blanks from a craft store to practice but when I hole punched the metal pushed out to the other side and is jagged/sharp. The indentation also shows marks on the other side..Is this likely due to the quality of the blanks I am using?
@beaducation8 жыл бұрын
Hi! It sounds like the hole punch you're using may be dull. Or, the metal is too thick for the hole punch. Try changing a factor in the equation to get a better result. For example, try punching a thinner metal. Do you still get a burr around the hole? Feel free to also check out our library of free stamping classes on our website, there may be something there that would help (www.beaducation.com/class_categories/11-metal-stamping).

Hi Addie, we suggest using soft metals, ie copper, sterling silver, fine silver, gold filled, silver filled, aluminum, rose gold, nickel silver, pewter. If you're using a harder metal you may need a harder strike, but as we make sure all of our metals are annealed perfectly for stamping, stamping other metals can sometimes be tricky. Good luck!

I have a gold ring that has a word stamped on it. It is very small lettering and the letters are not that deep.

Some type of sealant? Thanks.
@beaducation9 жыл бұрын
ldyedgware rings are tricky because they are constantly rubbing against the skin of the finger next to the one it is worn on. This rubbing causes the black to come out of the impressions. I see this happen with all types of oxidations or inks. My suggestion would be for you to continue to occasionally darken it with the ink. I think even a sealant would rub off on a ring.
