New Background Stamp? Now what to do with it?

Ever get that 6 x 6 background stamp home and think, "Great. Now what?" In this process video (filmed live, edited for time!), I'll take a background stamp I've never used and put it to work. I find that keeping it simple is always the first best step for me, and I hope this inspires you to do the same! To see a few more pics of the project, visit my blog: wp.me/p4O62M-9YF

Several years ago, I also walked away from card making because I couldn't stamp worth a hoot ... it would be crooked, not enough ink, too much ink, splotchy, etc. But when I discovered the Misti and others my confidence grew and I returned. Have a beautiful day.

I have been stamping for over 25 years but I love watching someone else make a card because there is always something that they do differently in their construction or design that may make things easier for me. I always use my tweezers to remove backing and add foam squares to my cards. I like the way you use the swiffer wipe on your Misti, it makes sense to me. I love this card and the black sentiment was the way to go. If you had chosen the green instead of the yellow, I might have preferred the green. Thanks for giving us things to think about and some darn good cards.

Thanks for keeping me entertained today, Cathy. I’m sitting in the ER getting some much needed magnesium and this video has made the time fly by. Now I’m off to check out more of your videos. 😊🥰

I totally agree with you firstly about buying stamps (well actually) most of my things and then not using t(em . Secondly the black card for sentiment was my choice , just because it popped against the background . Love your humour , your card making and videos .thank you so glad I came across your channel x

I'm glad you found me, too! I am really surprised at the new subs of late. KZfaq seems to be recommending me to more people. Which is great!

I'm so glad you started doing tutorials.....wonderful teaching, always a giggle or two and so great to connect artistically with such a fun fellow human (have been pandemic distancing for so long!). 😄

So true because you can’t wait to get it in the mail. You admire it for like 30 seconds and then don’t know how to start so you put it aside and look for the next shiny thing to distract you. Ugh! And of course when I say “you” I mean “me”-ugh!!!

Me too. Then I look for KZfaq videos for ideas.

So much easier to keep buying new things than get to grips with the old stuff. ☺️

You crack me up :) I love that background stamp. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. I learn so much from you. I often buy something pretty and then say, "now what?". When you started doing these videos, it made me so happy! Coming up with ideas is the hardest part for me. Watching this, I realize it's hard because I make it hard, trying to be all fancy and stuff. Please don't stop doing this series! But when you do, could you do a video on how to choose patterned papers to go together? I can't figure out how to use more than one pattern at a time. Thank you so much for all you're doing!
