Make your own Tim Holtz Stamps

[TheWestloopsters]

great video..love the ideas of using our die cuts to make stamps with...thank you

[scrappinbarbie]

I love this idea. I am making some now and am going to try the Aileen's Tack it Again (it's what I had on hand) to see if that will work on the acrylic blocks. I will let you know how it works. Thanks for the video.

[stitchesbyjulia]

So glad you shared. I'm going to try this!

[internetofficeassist]

Awesome tips!!! thank you for sharing!

[MsCreativeLady]

Awesome Stamps you crafted, Thanks, God bless you, and have a positive day.

[maer55]

what is wonder tape? and why does one use the acetate? can'tcho just stamp with a piece of diecutted foam? I'm new to stamping :)

[Momo01851]

Wow what a great Idea. Thank you for sharing.

[taylorjoni]

This is great thing. I am just getting into all of this, and by watching fascinating videos such as yours, I can see myself saving lots of money using your ideas. Thanks so much

[nicoleryan242]

[anmar49]

Thanks for the video, I will definitely have a go. I hope the glove is helping with your arthritis.

[justscrapsofpaper]

Thanks for sharing, great idea

[sushigirlxoxo]

if you don't like markings from using tims stamp pads u should buy 16FL OZ OF SPEEDBALL INDIAN INK THATS WATER PROOF AND BEST ON THE MARKET.YOU JUST PAINT IT ON THE STAMP WITH A PAINT BRUSH AND A HUGE BOTTLE (THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE) IS ONLY $9.25.

PS. CURRYS GENERALLY SELLS STUFF CHEAPER THEN MICHEALS. (child labour is more common at Micheals cuz there cheap with quality like walmart and Currys focuses on proffesional items at an effordable cost!)

[VoiceofthePeople100]

Very clever, great idea and great vid too

:D

[69sunshine41]

What a great thing to know. Thanks for this video as well as all your other ones. Keep up the great work. If you would please let me know what the purpose is for the black lines on your stamping block.

[pinkscrapper99]

@69sunshine41 Oh, the lines help you to line up your stamp straight. Especially if they are word stamps. :>

[69sunshine41]

@pinkscrapper99 One more thing. I went to JoAnn's to get the black fun foam and I cou;ldn't find it. Where in JoAnn's was it located? I looked where they have the children's fun foam and they didn't have any 1/4" that I could find. If you will let me know where it is located. Thanks!

[pinkscrapper99]

@69sunshine41 I'm so sorry, this video is a year old and so is my memory. lol I'm pretty sure it was with the thin foam. Try the felt area too. That is the best ideas I have. After the holidays, I will check my Joann's again. ttys!

[69sunshine41]

@pinkscrapper99

Hi! I had ask you where in JoAnn's the 1/4" foam was located. Did you get time since the holidays to see if you can locate where it is in your JoAnn's or if they still carry it? Thanks and have a Happy New Year. Jan

[chulisnaquis65]

LOVE  this stamps sooo much!!! I'm using this for Altered art!!!

THANK YOU!!!

[pinkscrapper99]

@chulisnaquis65 Oooh, great idea!! tfw

[casketqueen16]

Awesome job, thanks for the tutorial!

[emds698]

TFS wow this is such a good idea i got lots of dies i would love to us for stamps again thanks for this video.

[paprluvr]

This is very clever. I only have a few Tim Holtz dies but its a good way to get more use out of them. I'm going to try this. Maybe it will work with plain fun foam. Thanks.

Tere

[DevinMyLuv1]

WOW!!! I Great video. I have several of his dies and will be trying this as well. Thank you so much for sharing. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[TheScrappylady]

Thank you for this great tutorial. Do you clean the stamps? If yes, how?

[pinkscrapper99]

@TheScrappylady Yes, I do clean them with water. But you can also use a stamp cleaner which is already mixed in a bottle. hth Thanks for watching!!

[dopeydora81]

thanks so much for this tip, I love all ideas as to how to save money(so does my hubby) I only have a cuttle bug and I use those shapes in it But I am not to happy with how they come out I have to dig the shape out sometimes, love all things Tim Holtz so thank you again.

[Jazzyjess49]

You could use the left overs as masks.

[jerjer12111]

Oh what a great idea!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my Big Kick and just starting to get dies from Sizzix! I am excited...where did you get the wonder tape??? Thanks again!

[creativepzazz]

Great idea! I can't wait to try it!! Not sure where to get the thick foam sheets, but if I cut several pieces from the thin foam, that should work!! Thanks so much! Keep your creative mind working. I get very inspired by your videos!--leslie

[TheJerzeyGirl]

I tried this and it wont cut all the way through just makes a mark??? Any help would be fabulous as to what Im doing wrong

[Christine19850]

@TheJerzeyGirl You maybe need to use a shim?

[pinkscrapper99]

@CrossMyHeartStudio Yes they do. They are the same thickness as the Sizzix dies. I don't have a Cuttlebug but that is the info I have heard. :> tfw

[debbiehayslrtte]

@jannaviles Thanks Jules. I love you too!

[sistabbb]

Thankyou for such a great tip, also what did you use to clean your stamp?

[pinkscrapper99]

@sistabbb I actually use baby wipes from the dollar store.

[GloriaJean8]

Do you think the EZ Mount Foam would work with this?

[pinkscrapper99]

@GloriaJean8 Yes, I think it should work.

[cher1292]

I love this idea! I made my own stamps a couple times years ago, but I haven't done it for awhile. I bet you could use the leftover plastic from the sticky tape as a mask. What do you think...would it work? TFS! Cheryl
