 Hi guys. How are you? I hope you're all good. I think we're ready to go. I wasn't going to do this. I was going to tape it and I just thought, it'd be nice to go live and chat with people. So let's do that. Those of you who have been watching me for a while or know me in real life know that I don't do Christmas see things much. I've been in retail a long time or I was until I got hurt. And yeah, after you decorate like a thousand Christmas trees, it's just not your bag anymore. But that being said, I did get the impulse to create some sort of gift taggy things with the new stamps. So I do have some new stamp designs that are currently available for pre-order. And I'm going to share them with you today. This is my binder of all my stamp designs. I think it's getting too fat. I think I have to start a new binder. What do you think? So this is a mini binder. It's an Avery mini binder. And inside of it, I have the Tim Holtz cling stamp little pocket things. And right here on top are the new designs. So let's pull them out. Okay. Hey, how are you all the way from Greece? Cool. It's easier to be on camera to take all the stamps out of the binder, but when I store them, I do store them in the binder. Okay. These are the original stamp sets. All of these are available in my Etsy shop. You can get them either an unmounted red rubber and then you can, when you get them, mount them on wood blocks or on cling foam. Easy mount is the brand that I use. There's lots of different ways to use your stamps, but I use easy mount. And I just get it in like 10 sheet packs from Amazon. This is one of the old original designs. Originally, I came out with these two, which are still available. And then we had these and the birds. Hey, Tanisha, how are you? Seattle. I love Seattle. My parents live in Rochester. And then we had this one. So these are the old sets of stamps designed by me. These are the new ones. And you know, only we just, we just got the designs finalized. I literally just got my samples in. And I have to tell you, I think half of the design team said, can we have this one? So I have the feet have this feeling. This is going to be a popular one. This one is in honor of my daughter. She loves elephants. And so she says, mom, can you draw elephant? So one of the new sets. So we did. And then we have this one. And then I did it on our doll set. And then here is this one, which I love this one. And then also this one. Now, most of these designs are sized to either work in a small delusions journal or they should work real well for cards and ATCs and things. We're going to start out with this set. I'm going to pull, I'm going to pull these out just because it'll make my life easier while we're playing with the new stamps. So when you get them, you get this front card with all the pictures of the stamps on it. And it's laminated on the back and all your stamps are already die cut and mounted on cling foam. And they're on the back just like this. Yeah, we love elephants around here too. And by we, I mean the girls, me and my daughter, you know, my husband goes, eh, you know, he's a guy. So most everything he goes, eh. All right. So we're going to start with this one, which is my scribbly handwriting. And I'm going to, you know what? I didn't get it. I didn't get an acrylic block down. It's really hard to stamp without one. Okay, let's get an acrylic block. Hey, Corky, how are you? Okay. Now this is the, like I said, this is, this is the set that we're working with right this second. Look at all this stuff. My table is such a mess. All right. So we're working with this one. Make sure you can see it on camera. There we go. So this one has a number of really cool designs in it. I've got the scribbly script thing out. I don't know what you call it. And it does actually have words in it. It's just not me scribbling. It actually is words that I was kind of writing over the top of each other. And I have a lot of different kinds of stamp inks out here. Some of them are like dollar 50 inks that don't really stick in the thing very well. I really want to use the purple though. So we're going to see if we can get it to work. See, this is the one I really need to stick it back in the thing because, because it's falling out. So we're not going to use that one right now because it's just going to annoy me. You know, I found was cleaning and purging and I found this stack of little mini stamp pads. I didn't even know I had. So let's see if we can get some of them to work. I don't know if they're juicy or not. Let's try them. There's a purple in here. I think I got this at Tuesday morning. I don't even know. Oh yeah, that's nice and juicy. Look at how bright that is. Oh, maybe that other one not working was a happy accident. Look at that. So these are deep etched red rubber. I got asked recently why they're deep etched red rubber and not clear. And that would be because most of my stamps, especially the ones in the beginning, have a lot that I started making in the beginning, have a lot of detail in them and you can't get some of that detail to stamp well in the clear material. Really, you do better with your deep etched red rubber. Look at how pretty that is. Just like that. Wouldn't that be a great background? I love that purple color. What is it with me in purple lately? So because I wanted to create a lot of new sets and not necessarily be concerned about having tons of inventory, I wanted to bring you guys as many designs as I could. That means I don't have that many of the sets in stock, but never fear. You can order them and they get shipped directly to you from the company that makes them for me. I hope you checked your email. I got an email from you, but it was just a Contnarta, but it was just a copy of what I sent you and I didn't see anything from you in there. So maybe you need to private message me. Okay. And then do we want to use another one from here? Maybe. Maybe, maybe. I really like the scribbly word one. Oh, no. We're going to use this one. We're going to use these arrows down here. And my cover things don't stay pristine very long. They usually get inky and spotty. Okay. And then we're going to go in with some blue. Look at this blue. And I'm going to go right over what I did already. I'm going to zoom in a little bit so you guys can see because I don't think you guys can see very well. If you mean the email Narta that you sent that you got your thing all right, that email I did get. I hope that's the one you're talking about and there's not something wrong. Narta is one of my winners and I'll be honest with you guys. There's a lot going on for me right now. And I emailed Narta and one of the other winners in a panic because I was worried I sent the wrong thing to the wrong person. Or I sent too many of something to people. Yeah. So I've just been spending the day today kind of relaxing and taking a deep breath because that's usually a sign that I'm completely overwhelmed when I do things like that. Okay. So you could just do some paper like this and then stamp it on it. Happy holidays or joy or something like that. This by itself could be cut out, punched out and be a cute card, a cute gift card. So that was the little arrow set from this one here. Make sure that I'm on camera. I have to look behind me. There we go. And again, the scribbly words were from this one. Okay. Now the art doll one. So this art doll set has a pair of angel wings. And that was done on purpose. So I'm going to pick it has three different body shapes, two heads and three faces that you can mix and match together. And I am going to pick this body here. And we're going to ink it up in black. What did I do with the black ink? And we're going to just stamp it right over the what we did already. And we're going to take one of the faces, we're going to stamp it off to the side on the white part. And I'm going to take, I'm sorry, one of the heads and I'm going to take one of the faces and try to get it inside the head because that would be handy for the face to actually be in the head, in the head, in the head sounds like a song in the head. Got it. Yay. And there's some different words on all the sets have words on them. And I like the one that says love. So let's grab that one again with the black. I don't know that you guys are going to be able to read it. I'm also going to take the pair of wings. I think I want to stamp them with embossing powder. I don't have a drawer full of embossing powder I like never use. So we'll stamp them with the big embossing stamp pad. Where's my little thing first? Let's do this first. Why? So there's no static on the paper. And embossing powder sticks only where I want it to. Okay. Then we are going to take some, this is old stamping up, I'm sorry, stampendis stamp and stuff, embossing powder in, I don't even know what color, stardust. I need an extra piece of paper. So cool. Okay. Let's get the rest of this embossing powder back in jar before I make a really big mess with it. Because you know my middle name is neither Grace or Patience. And I spilled Sumi ink in here the other day. So good thing it was Sumi ink. Okay, let's see. Okay, so now we're going to emboss this. So let me catch up on the comments here. I'm having a wonderful evening and I'm glad you're excited to see the new stamps. Like I said, I was going to film this and I thought, ah, let me just go live. I have time. Nobody's home. Nobody's going to be home for a while. So let's just go live. Now I'm going to cut these little pieces out. And yes, I'm going to zoom in a little more for you guys. But this little art doll with the wings would make a really cute gift card. This is just by the way, plain office supply card stock. It is nothing special. It's not anything special. Staples card stock. So let me zoom in again. That's as far as I can go. I can't zoom in anymore. And you've never stamped. You've never stamped the birds. You need to use those birds. You can't sleep. Well, at least you're on here with us, the cranky crafter. So that's all right. So now I'm going to cut all the pieces out that we stamped. Of course, on the little background that we did, I'm going to save. I'm going to save the part of it. I think we might punch it out. You could die cut it if you have a die cut machine like in a tag shape. I didn't get any double stick tape out before I went live. That was probably a mistake. So there's one wing. And this is just basic, you know, stamping. I'm not doing anything special. I just want to show you guys the stamps. And I think we're going to go through and stamp all the images for you so you can get a good idea. Yeah, I got to remember that the next time I can't sleep. I should just come in here and put on some headphones and turn on YouTube. There's our little head. Now I'm making her head out of the plain white because I want it to show up on the body. The body's pretty busy. And if you just stamp the head and face on here, it'll get lost at the same time of a wild angel. It's probably one of them little angels at the Bent Halo. I see the chat going, but I'm looking at what I'm cutting out. So hang on. So this little piece is good like collage material. And you have this too. This could be cut out and made into a tag. And that's just the two stamps. They made something really interesting. So now we have our little body and a head and two wings. And I need to see if I can get it without creating a big mess. Yes, I got it. All right. I'm glad, Narda. So yeah, I did get that message. And then I got another one this morning that had nothing in it. So I am glad that it's okay. I am so glad because I was, you know, this week has been kind of wacky. I was sure I screwed up. So how cute is she already? Just by herself. Now you could put a little string on her head and you could write your little two and from on the back and wouldn't she be a cute little gift tag? Now we're going to give her wings. And you know, I like my angel babies to have good big wings. So we're going to put some glue, some tape on here and then just arrange them. Now you could use these wings for speech bubbles. So look at that. How cute is she? You put a little tag on her head and you write two and from on the back and wouldn't she be a cute Christmas ornament or gift tag? Yeah? All right. So we are going to go through now. I just, I wanted to demo that little, that's just what you can do with a couple of the sets. And they are, at this point, all the sets are intended to be able to be mixed and matched. I'm losing my words, can you tell? Now, yeah, you could definitely use these speech bubbles. I'm going to stamp everything stock with black ink so that you guys can see. I need some more guard stock. Okay. So she is just too cute. Let's put her up here. So this is just again plain white card stock and I've got my black archival ink pad. Let's start with, let's start with the one we started with. Let's start with this one. So we have this set here of these three, like they look like cookies to me. I don't know why. They look like macaroons. I swear that's not what I was thinking when I drew them. I guess, oops, there's no guarantee. See these studio G ink pads work well. The ink is great, but they don't stick to the container well. Oopsie. I don't think any of them are stuck down very well. See, they're very inky. It's probably time for me to let them go. Let's use some of the ones that we've been using. Do we want to use purple? Green. See, I'm thinking if I stamp these for you guys and demo them, that's great, but if I stamp them in some colors that are pretty, then I can use them later for collage fodder or to put it in Happy Mail. A bunch of these mini stamp pads, some of them are from We Are Memory Keepers. Anybody remember them? I found a stash of them hiding in a corner. Okay. I think we'll just use black for now. So here's the one that looks like macaroons. It's cute, right? That would be cute on the border of a page. So there's no trick. I'm reading back on the, I'm reading, I'm catching up on the comments. Thank you everybody. I'm glad you guys love the stamps. I'm zoomed in as much as I can be. So I'm going to just stamp them and like hold them up for you. My camera is really great. It's not that great. Just FYI. And we can stamp, a couple of them at a time. So you don't have to do anything to them. They're already on the foam that'll cling to the acrylic block. What you will notice with cling stamps is that sometimes you need to clean the backs of them with a baby wipe or maybe even a little bit of alcohol on a paper towel. I'm going to put a number of them on here on the block. And then if this cling foam is clean, it'll stick to the acrylic block. And my acrylic block is not that clean, but they stick because, well, they're really clean. And I'm glad you're going to stay up with us, Sim UK. There's no, and so there's no trick. Hey, mama cats. I'm trying to subscribe to everybody's channel. So here is five more of the stamps from this particular set. Yeah. So you could totally take the scribbled words and use them to build it up to a Christmas tree. And you could do that with a lot of these actually. So here's some more from the same step. And the this one here could be stamped in green. That could be a row of little Christmas trees on a border. So that would be cute. Yo yo. Yeah, that's good. Yo yo. Well, I just think of food all the time. So I'm crazy that way. I never get them exactly back on this cling page the exact way they come. So if you guys all have issue with that, you're not alone. KP over at Rubber Moon, who's the company that makes my stamps, they do such a good job arranging them so pretty Leon here. I never get them to look back the same way. So again, I'm going to lay a whole bunch of them on here and stamp them so you guys can see how they stamp. I love this particular border one. There is a word on here. I think it's journey. Let's see. Yeah, journey here. My, my chair, my chair is rubbing against it. Rub against table making noise. Hey, Beverly, how are you? Okay, so here's some more from this set. I think I haven't made enough. Oh, no, I missed one. There is a doodly paintbrush on here, which is a fun one. Just gotta make sure I have ink on everything. I don't know if I do, but let's see. Let's see. I should be doing this standing up, you know, because I get better leverage pushing down on the paper. And then we don't have the squeaky chair issue. So here is the rest of that particular set. Aren't they cute? And look at, can you see like the reason I have them done in red, in red rubber? Whoops, there we are. So you see how you see all my little doodly marks in this one? And they're all like that. The reason I have them done is red rubber is because you don't lose any of those doodly marks. You would lose some of those if you did them in the clear polymer stuff. Yeah, my chair is pretty squeaky too, Lisa. No worries. The arms are always rubbing against the table. See, I totally put this back wrong on the, not on there, right? Let's see. I think this one goes down here. Maybe that goes that way. I don't know. So I'm going to put this on top of here and see, I already have the front schmutz up. You see that? Already, that's okay. So this is one of the other sets, which is really cool. I know the paintbrush I think is one of my favorites. The angel. Oh yes, I can hold up the angel. So the background of her for her was done with the first set that we just used and this one that we're going to demo right now. And then the rest of her was done with the art doll set. So we'll just kind of leave her right here. Oh, can you see her? Yeah, you can see her. I got something on the computer in the way, so I can't see what you see. I know the paintbrush is my favorite. Did I miss something? Hopefully not. I tried to get somebody to come help me with the comments. Y'all were busy. Or you didn't want to be bothered because you just wanted to see what I was doing and ask questions. That's fine. Okay, so this most of the borders, you'll notice they're big. And that's because I wanted you to be able to use them on your journal pages without, you know, having to stamp them over and over again to just get one side. If you're using a journal like the size of the small delusions. This particular set has three, well, two stamps that are definitely borders and then this flower one that you could probably use as a border. Let's stamp in a different color though. So I'm not really feeling the black at the moment. Shocking because I love black. Let's grab that purple because I'm just totally feeling the purple. And stamps should be like anything else. And you should layer them. Why can't you? She could totally be a worry doll on a journal page. And I created her with the wings separate so that you could, you know, do her a couple of different ways. Look at that. They're all, I, yeah, I tried on purpose not to have them be too perfect. I wanted them to be loose and sketchy. Like you brought me your journal and I was scribbling on your journal. Not that you would want me to scribble on your journal, but you know what I mean. So when we did the doll, we used these little like arrowy chevron things from here. There's an ampersand in here and there's actually two ampersands because there's one in one of the other sets too. A lot of these small embellishments are sized so that you could use them inside the art doll set or you could use them as background in the art doll set. And we'll grab the other half. So this one has kind of a lotus-y shape in it and also the flower, which are both kind of half stamps that you could build a border with them. And let's grab, I don't know, green. Why not green? This is a really bright green. I think it's going to be pretty. I have all these random stamp pads. I need to use some of them. So I'm really bad about cleaning my stamps. You probably should clean them, especially if you use paint on them. They're high quality. They're very high quality. All right. So we're gonna go back here because we got a lot of stamps to stamp. How cool are they? I love this one, which is kind of a lotus-y shape. I did all of these on my husband's iPad Pro when he wasn't around. Instead of doing them the way I used to, which was with a paper and a pen and then having to scan them into the computer and then send them to KP. And yeah, that was a pain in the neck. And I'm gonna go back with the blue. There's a couple of words. All the sets have words. These are not metallic inks. These are just plain. So this one says harmony and laughter. There we go. So that's that set. And here are the borders from that set, the two purple borders. And before somebody asks me, because I know you're going to ask me, or somebody will probably ask me, the set that we did already, this one is set number 11. We had to start numbering the sets because now I have too many of them. The set we're working with now is number seven, which is this one here. The art dolls are number 10. So this is the art doll set. They are available now. Yes. Order them now. It says pre-order because they're technically, they weren't supposed to be released until January 1st. I can't wait. I can't keep a secret. Like really? And it's Christmas time. If you guys want them for Christmas, then I want you to be able to order them. So they're available now. The only hitch is I don't have lots of inventory in stock, which isn't a problem for you guys. Because when you order them, I call up the manufacturer, they make your set, and they drop ship it to you. And it doesn't take any extra time to get to you. So you just go ahead and order whatever you want, and it'll be taken care of. Now this is the art doll set, and I told you we have three bodies. We used this one. I'm going to stamp this in black so that you can see. There's three bodies. And you can make little worry dolls out of these, little art dolls. This set was inspired by my little art dolls or dodie dolls that I used to make. And you totally could take, like we did in the beginning, make a background with some of these other stamps in a colored ink, and then stamp the doll bodies right over the top of it. So there are the three different body shapes that you get. You get two different faces, or I should say heads. I got to stop calling them faces. And three faces, they all should be sized so that they fit inside the heads and the heads so that they fit inside the bodies. Because you know, otherwise, what was the point? Let's put this here. No, they're just wet. Yeah, and I think it's some kind of like chalk ink or something. I don't know. I found it when I was purging. What does it say? I could read the box. It's just a stackable American crafts. That's all it says. So I have no idea. Acid-free, made in China. Yeah, I don't know. I think they're just like regular, I think they're like the Studio G inks, which is a pigment ink. So they kind of stay wet a long time. Okay, now this set has the pair of wings, which we did with the embossing powder, but let me stamp them in black so you can see them. The wings totally could be used as a speech bubble instead of a wing. They would be really cute as a speech bubble. Let's put them here. I'll hold the paper up in just a second. Hey Heidi, how are you? So there are the wings. Now you totally could, instead of thinking of them as wings, wouldn't that be an interesting speech bubble? Maybe coming out of one of the art dolls or out of a drawing that you have on your page or another piece of collage. Now this set, of course, has a bunch of words on it. I do have three more designs I'm working on and they would be big designs. They wouldn't necessarily be sets per se. Two of them are related, so they may come out in a set together and then another one I literally just thought of yesterday, but I can only do so many things at once. So it's not going to happen right now. And I just tried to think about what would I like to see if I was going to buy a new stamp set, because at this point I'm pretty picky about what stamps I buy. So if I'm going to make stamps, what would I like to see? I'm okay. You know now that I've got my hair done and I'm sitting at home stamping with y'all and I'm just taking a deep breath and I'm not dealing with crazy San Jose drivers. I swear to God if somebody else honks at me, I'm going to snap their little brains off. Why do we have to be in such a hurry that you find it necessary to honk at people? I don't understand what I'm stopping because I don't know. The light is red. There's another heart in this set because you know three in the other set wasn't enough, so I did do another one. So these are the words for that set and the heart and then these are, let's see, the doll parts. And again you can see if I hold it up close that you can see all the little doodly lines that I put in in the bodies and everything, you would lose some of that if it wasn't in deep etched red rubber. Yeah, these words are on the doll stamp set and this is doll, the doll stamp set is number 10, but each one of the Etsy listings is numbered and I think this is my favorite set of words FYI. And this set of words would be good for holiday gift tags. Okay, so that's the doll set. So now we're going to do the Homsa or Ohm set. This has another sort of lotus pattern flower and there's another ampersand. Now this hand, like the dolls, has been sized so that some of the other designs, like the hearts from one of the other sets or the stars or the little, I keep thinking of my best cookies, these little cookies or yo-yos. The paintbrush would fit in here. You actually probably could put a doll, I don't know why you do want to put a doll face on there, but you could. But we also have an eye, an Ohm symbol, a spiral. There's a lot of different symbols from these other sets that would fit on here. The arrow, these arrow-y shapes would fit on here and this also would make a good gift tag. This is set number, let me know, nine Homsa. Yes, Homsa. This was inspired by a friend of ours who brought me back a Homsa from Israel when she was there visiting her family, which was so sweet of her. She did not have to do that and it's hanging by my front door, which is where it's supposed to be hanging. Okay, so we're gonna again put a couple, gonna slap down a couple of stamps on here, stamp them all at once. Otherwise we're gonna be here all night long. Not that that's a bad thing because we all want to do art, right? You could, totally you could. He would be a cute ghost. And Lisa, you ought to think about applying to the design team next year because you keep coming up with these ideas. You're just kind of sitting in the background over there in the admins. I keep thinking you ought to be sitting in the background, not be sitting in the background. And you need to remind me about the stamp set because I think I left you off the list and I don't, I didn't intend that and I think I've forgotten which one that you wanted. Send me your address too, Lisa. I'm not sure I got them all inked well. It could be a fire with flames. And you know, you can stamp with ink, like ink pens too, like some of the distress markers and stuff like that that don't dry real quickly. So look at that because you totally could take that and put that that way. Looks completely different. This eyeball was a late edition after, as I was working on correcting some issues that we noticed with the stamps and the design, I was just fiddling around. I was supposed to be fixing some things and out came this eyeball. I don't know where the eyeball came from exactly, but it was sized to fit right inside there. I don't know. It just came out of nowhere. Out of left field. There's another heart. I think, you know, hearts I think were a thing because I think I have them on a lot of the sets. And like this one, there's some words here. So we're going to stamp the words. See if I can get them all on here. There is also another arrow, a brand, I mean, sorry, another feather and another arrow brand new designs from the original. The arrow has some similarities. The feather is completely different. Yeah, I was, I must have been in my zen place the day I did these. I wasn't having a cranky day because I do have those, but I think it was not a bad day when I was doing this. Just checking to see if I have most of it inked up because, you know, I know you're not, you're not supposed to do that. The all sing eye. Yeah. Okay, here are the other, we'll do the animals last because they're cute. So let me put these back. So when you get these sets, you know, if you're like, if it's going to bug you, not to get them back in the exact right place, you're going to be in trouble. That's all I can say to them. So there are some of the designs from this set, the words and the designs. And then there here are the other ones. In case you didn't notice, this is an ampersand and it's made out of feathers. It's super cute. They are so cute. Maybe you just need to get them all for Christmas. Okay, so here is the bit. There's two elephants in this set. There's the big elephant. And then there's a smaller one and he's got his little friend, the bird sitting on his ear. Now when we did this set, we decided to, I was only going to do the two, the bird and the elephant separate or, or them together. I wasn't going to do both. But as we were putting the set together, we really decided that we needed to have both on there and then maybe have this one be smaller. Then as I was drawing it, I decided the elephant and bird needed some friends. And yes, that means we have another bird and he's different than the birds from the original set. I can get that out in a minute for you guys. I decided to add an owl, a bunny, a little lion. I think he needs to go on a diet and the giraffe. So let's stamp our elephant. So there is our elephant. Isn't he cute? I missed a face on the doll set. So he's cute. There's our elephant. The design team members will be getting their stamp sets hopefully soon. And when they do, you're going to start seeing some of these new stamps hopefully show up in their work. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm putting those the wrong way. I like the bunny. The bunny is cute. I think we need to stamp the bunny. Now you totally could take these stamps and their die cut and they're pretty close and you could kind of stack them up and do sort of a totem pole. But you could also stamp them separately and do that. That would be cute. Let's try it. I had a couple words. That word's upside down. That's not going to help you if he's upside down. Yeah, he's a pudgy lion. He needs to go on a diet. I just want to do that sometimes, right? Am I the only one that wants to... I know it's probably just me being crazy. It's like the days I want to run people over with the car. I wouldn't really do that. You guys don't get the wrong idea. I just get annoyed. I shouldn't say those kind of things on camera. See, that's cute. I'll hold it up in a minute. I didn't quite get enough ink on the lion's feet. I think because my hand is getting tired. That's a lot of stamping. I've been playing with the stamps since they came in. And then we just have the giraffe. The giraffe is cute. And again, I was working on this set and it was missing something and I didn't exactly know what it was missing and I just was doodling. And next thing I knew, I know, see, I should run. I just want to do this. No, I'll do this. The next thing I knew, a giraffe was on the iPad. Sometimes you just want to bang it. Oops. See, look what happens. See, my hand's getting tired. Well, we got a nice ghost print. Oops. But isn't he cute? Let's try that again. Let's try to get a clean one. We'll step the lion again too because I missed his feet. Cuteness. Let's do our lion, not lion that needs a diet. Totally use your markers. I've seen a lot of people do that and I've done that sometimes. And especially with some of these stamps like the one Lotus, if you wanted to have it look more like flames like in a fireplace, then you totally could do that. You also don't always have to stamp in black ink. If you have colored ink pads, use them. I have some of these. They're little dots there in neon colors. And while I don't know they would stamp a bird in them, they are really great pads. I also have these once again that are from Hobby Lobby and I don't know where I don't know what kind of ink they are. I should have done that first. And you can totally stamp these little creatures in a color other than black. They're cute. I'm looking to try to see. Oh, there we go. There's our giraffe. There's our words. So there you go. And the animals are stamp set. Now I have all these papers for collage water. The animals are stamp set eight. So new stamp sets for 2017. A new room on my table. I haven't even been home all day. I've been out running errands and there's still no room on my table. It's because of some things just never get put away. I know you guys are all with me on that. There's no room on the table a little bit so you can see all the sets. Yeah, so the watercolor giraffe was really cool and you definitely could, you know, you could do especially if you're new to watercoloring. Why couldn't you just do an abstract watercolor background and then stamp one of these on there as the focal point? Why couldn't you or any other stamp for that matter? Of course, I'd rather you use mine but any stamp that you have. Hi, shells, how are you? So I'm just showing off my new rubber stamp sets that I'm coming out with. I'm trying to anyway. I'm going to get a room on my table. I'm going to zoom out just a little bit. So do you guys have any questions? Watercolor using distress inks on one of your stamps? Yeah. Crap, I have to pick one. Oh, no, I don't. We can use one that I print. Okay. I already printed one. So these are the stamps. So I'm going to move things around. Give me a minute. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. So we need to move stuff around here. So what I want to do is put these up here. Too much stuff on my table. And you just asked me about the distress ink, which is behind the microphone. So hang on. Actually, you know, I don't know that these won't, let's try, let's, we're going to wait. I just have an idea. Let's experiment with some of these little dots I have out because I don't think these are waterproof. Do you have a water, a water brush here somewhere? Okay. So these are the, let's, let's not dump the iPad on the table or the floor. Okay. So these are the stamp sets, which hopefully you can see. I think you can see. All right. Let's take one of the designs that we did. And we're going to work on this hamsa here. And there's a lot of different ways to do this, but you can use a, you can use ink like a watercolor. I did have a sponge. Oh, right in front of me. Okay. See you later. Oh, good luck, Narda. So I'm going to test this over here first. So if you have some ink and you're not sure if you get it wet, if it's going to do anything, then test it and see. And I have this ink and I don't know where it's from. Oh, good thing I tested it. It's not doing anything. See, that's why you test. That means we need to get the distressing. So okay, I keep all my mist, my distress dots in this staples pencil box. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to cut our hand out. It's, yeah, it's cold here in California, but I won't call it freezing because, you know, it's California. We don't really, where I live in California, we don't really freeze. So if you stamp the image from any one of these sets in a permanent ink like archival or stays on or something like that, then you can go over it with watercolor paints or inks that are water soluble with no fear of the actual design going anywhere. And if you don't have watercolor paints, what do you have in your studio that's water soluble? I bet you have something. I'm going to use Broken China, I think. And I'm going to really just messy, messy, messy. Oh, that's, that sucks. I like staples. That's terrible. That's not good news. But maybe you have a different kind of office supply store in the UK. It's just a cheap pencil, plastic kids back to school pencil box. It's not anything, you know, special to be honest with you. I also have distressed crayons. You can use any kind of water soluble crayons and we're going to be working with things like this next week in watercolor Wednesday. And this paper is just like I said before, this is office supply card stock. It is nothing special. So because of that, I am, I'm not getting it more wet because it will start to break down, which will be bad. That'll be bad. So when I first started to answer Corky, to answer your question, Corky, sorry. When I first started, I got stays on ink. That's the traditional brand. Everybody knows it's waterproof stays on. But Ranger Archival is also waterproof. And they have the really big stamp pad, which I like the big size. Because when you're stamping a big stamp, you can, you know, it's easier to get it inked up with a big, the big pad. But either one, you just want to make sure it's permanent and waterproof. And then you can go over it with any of your transparent mediums you have laying around in your art room. Yeah, it's the jumbo size, which I love. I don't remember if these neon ones are water soluble or not, but I just want to stick some on there. So we're going to somebody's messaging me. Did you hear the ding? Because my phone is on. So then you can just have fun coloring them in. And I do these things kind of a lot when I'm making my little note cards. I'll do whole sheets of them. And then I'll sit like in front of the TV and I'll fussy cut the design out. And then I'll use it on a gift tag or a little note card or something like that. I don't worry too much about trying to stay in the lines when I'm coloring it because I know I'm going to be cutting it out. I just try to leave myself enough room between the images. And of course, you could color these in with pencil or anything like that too if you wanted. I would try to keep it too transparent so that you don't lose the blinds too much. I'm not doing a super great job cutting this out. So it's probably good that you're not all a close and personal with me on this. There we go. So isn't that cute? Yeah, I have the, Lisa, I'm reading the comments. And I have the black that if you're going to buy the jumbo size permanent pads and you can afford to get only one color, get black. If you can afford one more color, get sepia. The dark brown is a fabulous color to have to do these kind of things with. Yeah, so you know, it's nice to have a collection of stamp pads to have some that are water soluble, some that aren't. You totally could, again, stamp these with your waterproof ink and then go in with water soluble crayon, go in with some watercolor. You could go in with maybe you've got some watercolor markers. I have some Windsor Newton ones. I got them on sale on clearance. They were clearance the amount of a shop that I was in. So, you know, these kind of things are great to have you can stamp a bunch of them and have a bag, you know, a bag or a box of the embellishments. And then when it comes time to make a gift card or a tag or send out a piece of happy mail or do a journal page, you already have these. I know, right? I think it's one of my favorites. Well, they're all my favorites or I wouldn't have made them. I shouldn't pick one or the other because I like them all. And if you have a bunch of these little stamp pads, whether they're a generic brand or they're the distressed ones, they fit nicely stacked too high in a plastic pencil box. This one is from Staples, but you know, it could be from anywhere. They stay nice and tight in here. And then I just close the lid and I store them upside down and it sits in the drawer. Shipping to Greece is expensive. I don't disagree with that. Shipping to the outside the U.S. is expensive. But, Chris, maybe if you want them and maybe some of your other friends do too, you guys could go in together and whether they could be shipped together. And maybe that'll save you all some money in shipping. I don't know that for a fact, but you might check it out and see. I know when you do it through Etsy, shipping is I think $12 outside the U.S. And if there is any overage for outside the U.S. shipping, then I always refund that. If it costs more, I eat it. So, FYI, it doesn't usually cost more. Sometimes it's come a little close or if it's more, it's like 50 cents. But that's just for one set. It's, you know, it can be expensive. Yeah, so I have Christmas one year. My daughter gave me this color box pedal point pad, which I love. And I love to stamp some of the designs on it and use up all the colors at once. But the problem is, with using it, is they get all messy like that. And you can pull the pedals out. Well, some of them come out easy. Some of them don't come out at all because it's kind of stuck. I'd rather have a bunch of little pads. But I'll never tell my daughter that you guys don't better not blab. As far as she knows, I love it. So, yeah, so check, if those of you who are not in the U.S. and you want to buy some stamps, check and see with some of your friends, maybe somebody else wants to buy them too, and you guys can go in together and put the order in together and have the shipping be together. That might save you guys some money on shipping. And like I said, I have a limited quantity of stock here, but that's no problem because if anybody orders something that I don't have in stock, it gets made directly for you, custom, the one set, and drop shipped to you directly from the factory. And my manufacturer, by the way, is Rubber Moon Stamps. So they have a Facebook page, and they have a YouTube channel, and of course they have their own online store. The owner's name is KP. If you don't know them yet, go look them up. Go show them some love. Fabulous company to work with. And if you want to design some stamps, go to their website and get their email address and yeah, ask for KP. She's fabulous. I think that's it for this evening. I know the new ones are cool, right? So I couldn't wait any more. I've been sitting on them for a while. I couldn't wait any more. So here they are. I like them. I hope you order some of them. Christmas is coming up. Maybe you need to buy yourself a Christmas present. It is going to be hard. If I was from the outside looking in, it would be hard for me to just pick one. I have to say. So I sympathize with you. The design teams so far have liked set number eight. Let's see, eight, which is I think the elephants. Yeah. So the animals has been, they've liked eight and 11. So this one and this one. Not that that should influence you at all. But those are the two sets that you've liked so far. Well, at least you're down to choosing between two. If it was me, I'd have trouble. And just remember that I have no intention of stopping production of any of the stamps, these or the originals, anytime soon. So you can always save up for more sets. Thank you. Yeah. Heidi, you're in the US. So shipping isn't as big an issue for you. So you could get both. So I am going to do something for all of you right now that are still watching and really want to buy the sets. And I just decided to do it. It's not planned. I'm going to give you a discount code because I got to get the code. Okay. So you ready? I'm going to give you all a discount code. I'll answer that question in a minute. Here's the little angel that we did. Trying to find a piece of paper that's blank on the back. I drew on. I stamped on all of them. So I'm going to give you all discount code just because I feel like it. This discount code works on the whole Etsy shop. Oops. That's okay. So this discount code works on the whole Etsy shop. So you get 20% off everything that you buy in the Etsy shop. So if you did want to say buy all five sets, you get 20% off. It does not come off on the shipping only the product. And the unmounted red rubber is $26 a set. The cling mounted sets are 33. So second from the right. So this one. This is a good one. So again, whether you're ordering stamp sets or you're ordering digital downloads or you're ordering original artwork or anything else in my Etsy shop, this discount code works for all of that stuff. Well, you're showing up late, but that's okay because you're getting the discount code. So it's never too late. So cling mounted are like these that will cling to the acrylic block when you stamp them. Unmounted is just a sheet of red rubber. I can show you one of the other sets. So if you order unmounted red rubber, they come like this. This is the packaging for them. And I'll open this one to show you. It's just a literally a sheet of rubber like this. So you cheat of easy mount, and you're going to have to stick it to the easy mount and then cut them all out. If you order them cling, a cling set, all that's already done for you. The discount code is good for a long time. I have no intentions of having it expire right now. I shouldn't say that. I should give you a time limit. I should give you a time limit. I know I'm bad. That's bad. It's probably bad business. Yeah, there you go. It is. When you order these sets, cling mounted, they come like this and they're already cut out. They're already mounted on foam and they're already cut out. Costs a little bit more, but you don't have to go by easy mount. You don't have to cut them out and they're die-cutted. So die-cutted. That's good English. They're die-cut out. So they're really great. It's a really great cut. It's precisely done. It's fabulous. You're welcome. So for your birds, if you're ordering the bird set and you paid 26, it's unmounted and then you have to get a sheet of easy mount and you're going to have to mount it to the easy mount. If you are paying the 33, then it's going to come like this and it's already done. You're welcome, Lisa. Don't forget to let me know first about the other one that you're supposed to let me know about because I think I lost your email. I don't think you're on the list and I need your mailing address. So I'm trying to put that together for Rubber Moon. Oh, get some sleep. You need to get some sleep, the Cranky Crafter. Thank you. You are Heidi and I have that piece set aside. Thank you so much. Exactly. So for a lot of you, the 20% off is just going to mean that you get free shipping. About the water color, Heidi? Yes. I answered your message. I have it sitting here. See? It's sitting here on my desk, pulled out of inventory. Alrighty. That's it for tonight. So I'm going to put the discount code in the description below and I will, you know, hopefully I hit send on it and it's not just sitting there waiting to be sent, Heidi. You know, it's been one of those weeks. So I will edit the discount code into the description below. But yeah, go shop in the Etsy shop, maybe buy yourself or one of your friends a set of the rubber stamps. And all of the sets, including the new ones and the old ones can be bought in Kling. So say you never got any of the stamp sets and you want to get one of the older designs. Maybe this one, which was one of my first ones I came out with, you can now order this in Kling mounts. So make sure you're looking at the right listing because there'll be a one listing for the unmounted red rubber and one for the Kling. You're welcome, Greg. And I missed whatever comment you said earlier that somebody, people were commenting. I don't know what you said. I was stamping. Hey Eve, it's never too late. You're in time for the discount code. That's never too late if you can get the discount code. Alrighty. Is there any more questions? Good. Now don't forget, you know, you can use any of your stamps in conjunction with your acrylic paint, your watercolor. Don't feel like you have to just only do stamping or only do painting. That's ridiculous. We're mixed media artists. Mix it up, spread it around and have some fun and break all those rules. Alright, yep. I got packing to do so we can get painting done. So like maybe at some point before Christmas, we can get a Christmas tree up because we're crazy and we decided to remodel part of the house over the holidays. I don't think that was so bright. And it added to my stress level, but it's done now. Alright, that's it you guys. Don't forget the most important thing besides of course shopping at Etsy shop. That would be go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Yeah. Alright, I'll see you all later. I will be back on Monday. I think we're going to paint acorns on Monday in preparation for the holidays. And I'll show you how I did the original set. And we'll be back. I don't know. I'll be back. I'll probably be here Wednesday. It's the day before Thanksgiving, but I think that I'm going to be able to do something quick. We're going to work with watercolor crayons or water soluble crayons. So we're going to do a watercolor painting, but we're not going to use paint. So that'll be fun. And we're going to do a few of these with different kinds of medium. So anyway, that's it. Alright, I'll talk to you soon. And you can catch this on the replay if you haven't caught the whole thing. And like Eve, you're joining at the end. If you are watching, please don't forget to like share and subscribe. The discount code can be given out and used. It has and for the moment it does not have an expiration date. So I it's definitely good through January 1st, at least. Alright, that's it for now, everybody. And we'll talk to you soon. Bye, guys.
