 Hey guys, how are you today? Alrighty, I am here to bring you this month's design team challenge for my rubber stamp line Which is stickers now in case you don't know. I have my own line of rubber stamps. I wrote a book last year I've got a bunch of digital downloads artwork. There's a set of downloadable prompt cards That you can buy in my all available in my Etsy shop So and there's more things coming out at the filming of this. There's more things coming. I can't talk about yet These are my rubber stamps. These are all 11 different sets that I have currently available at the filming of at this time and We are going to Do some fun things I want to give you some ideas of stuff you can do with these and create some inexpensive cute unique stickers Using these stamps or any others Alright, so before we decide what stamps we're using and I think I kind of already know already, but We're gonna take some stickers now. I know a lot of you are thinking, you know, okay I don't have a sticker machine. I don't have the money to go by like fancy like sticker paper You don't need any of that stuff. Alright, so I'm gonna prove it to you So this is my bought my bin from my shelf behind me That says packaging stickers labels and receipt paper because literally that's what it is. It's actual receipt This is from some fabric. I bought a hobby lobby. They gave me the thing So I stuck it in here. These are rolls of adding machine tape and receipt paper and different kinds of found and Stickers and things I've been given to me. These are luggage tag stickers from a cruise I went on with my husband. These are airline suitcase stickers from the last time I have a few of these from when I've gone on trips. These are the leftover bits and You know, so most of this is just paper. These are from prescriptions The most of it is just paper that can actually be thrown away this part These are actually labels that generally speaking go on your prescription bottle, but not always So I have those that needs to be thrown away. I Have priority male labels, we're actually gonna pull a couple of those out because I'm ready to use those I found a whole thing of reinforcement whole reinforcements in a drawer somewhere. So those are in here. I've got A sticky Label that was from something I ordered in case I wanted to return it They sent an extra self-adhesive label. Well, I never did return it and I have the label So I'm gonna use that so I have all these kind of things I've been saving you don't I have more of those like FedEx labels You don't need to have fancy stuff. Just stuff that you find we're gonna act think use these and I'm gonna use some of these Luggage labels too. Yeah, so let's see if I can So the first thing you want to do with some of these is you want to You can use it as is but I like to put like put a thin coat of gesso on here So that's what this is and I'm gonna actually just do it this way If I can get the top off there we go There we go So I'm gonna just take a little bit of gesso That's plenty that might be too much and I'm gonna take an old gift card And I'm gonna just push some of those barcodes and printing Into the background of the sticker. I'm not gonna try to cover them up completely. That's what I know That's way too much gesso I'm not gonna try to cover them up completely, but I want them to be less obvious This is what you do when you're trying really hard not to make a mess and failing completely All right, okay, so we're gonna do that and then let's give it a dry I don't want to just leave it with the gesso I'm gonna put some color on there. I just grab literally just grabbed some random colors This is distress paint in broken China Gonna put a couple of drops This is Americana neon paint and toured orange. That's plenty This is Claudine Helmus studio dash of red. I Had this little bottle for a long time Whoa Okay, we're not gonna add any more that because it's a lot of that. All right, then we're gonna take the same gift card So use colors that you know we're gonna, you know blend Fairly well and not create too much mud Because for the most part you don't want too much mud. I'm gonna take what's left on here I'm gonna grab my little delusions journal been a blank page Okay, now before I do anything else. I think I want to Take this sponge applicator brush thing And I'm just gonna impress a like a little pattern in the wet paint. So we need to dry that again Okay, we're gonna let that dry a little bit I'm gonna set it aside before we do anything else with it And in the meantime, we are going to take these priority male labels and these have already been painted a long time ago And I'm going to take my art doll set of stamps out Which is set number 10 and let's take one of the doll bodies. I want to use this one I suppose if I'm gonna play with stamps. I actually need to get out some ink. I would probably be helpful I have lots of different kinds of ink, but for this we're gonna use archival ink And the first thing I'm going to do is stamp a doll body And I think I want to stamp it on this one get it nice and inked up And then I'm going to stamp the body then I'm going to take one of the faces And I think I'm gonna do This one Stamp that over here in this little white space that I have then I'm gonna take one of the faces This art doll set comes with faces. I've got one of those Try to get it in the oval Without smearing it, hopefully Then I have a number of different little embellishments that will fit in the art doll body from a couple of different sets and Let's actually see actually I think I want to stick with my original idea. I'm gonna use this little heart But there's other sets with other little embellishments that'll fit in the doll body get a little pair of scissors All right. Now we're going to cut these out Not right on the last stamp line just a hair outside the line and then the face Now if you wanted to do this and you wanted To you could there are a pair of wings on here There are also words in most of my sets of stamps. You could Stamp an inspirational word Let's not forget our little heart Okay, so then I'm gonna zoom in So then we can kind of do a build a sticker now You could do a bunch of these different parts bodies faces and Embellishments of wings or no wings and you could have a sort of build an art doll doll sticker set That you use or gift to a friend. I'm going to peel hopefully I'm trying to do this that my glasses on that's probably not a great idea Just FYI Because I can't really see what I'm doing Or I need a pair of glasses. All right, let's see if this helps. Oh Yeah, I Can see the set edge All right So I'm gonna peel off my face and put it on my doll body I'm gonna peel my heart Sounds really bad. I'm gonna peel my heart Okay, got it. Woo-hoo. So you have to kind of fold back a little corner until you can separate the layers and then you can peel it I'm gonna put my heart here And then she's ready to go You could build the little art dolls and leave the backing paper on them and put it in a Little something with a note to a friend that it's a sticker and they can peel the back off and stick it To an art journal page, but how cute would she be on a tag or on a journal page? Um Cute cute cute, right? All right So I hope that gives you some ideas of what you can do with the stickers The other thing you can also do is make some stickers that are for happy mail. So this kind of luggage tag Thing is really Great, let's see So let me grab this one from this set here. This is from set number six And I lost track of what I'm doing. Okay, so You can use this sort of thing that you've gotten on your luggage from Leftover from a trip. I never throw this stuff away. I always use it to make some kind of custom sticker Because how cute is that you could stick that on happy mail? You can stick it on a journal page You can make a whole sheet of these stickers and this particular set has three of these little Like doodled drawn squares Now ideally you want your paint to be completely dry when you do this I'm doing this and it's just slightly damp. If you do it and you get paint on the rubber red rubber stamp. That's okay Just make sure as soon as you're done that you clean it right away You can stamp with these on With black paint instead of with ink. I have done that again. Just make sure you take your stamp right away And you take a baby wipe and you wipe the paint off and get it out of the holes of the stamp If you need to get a little finger brush in there and clean it up. All right I'm so inspired by these cute little art doll stickers that to make to do a journal page like right here on this page So we're gonna do that really quick just a really quick page This page already has paper on it from just leftover paint that I scraped on here With a palette knife or a gift card, and I honestly don't remember which now at this point. There we go. Got it Sometimes getting these stickers started and getting the backing peeling peeled is a little tough But it's well worth it. They cost you nothing there we go look around in your office and Maybe your husband's office ask permission first if it's not your office See if you have old shipping labels or that sort of thing That you're not using and use those and I found a quote here in my quote box that I thought would work on this page So I just thought we'd toss something together really quick. It doesn't have to be complicated At all now if you're worried about the stickers not sticking well to your page then a little bit of gel medium under and over them or Mat medium would not be a bad idea. I'm not worried about it. These are shipping labels. So they are We're gonna stick really well I'm gonna trim this a little bit so it's straighter and cut the words apart. I think I want to do some splatters I think I think So we're gonna take some white paint. This is just a maracona Craft paint and it the color is white wash. Okay, my other ball it bottles empty. So we'll open a new one Just need a little bit Water we'll do this before we put the words on now. Remember I said I used Archival ink so I usually use archival ink because I can't guarantee what I'm gonna do is not gonna get wet at some point And being able to get in here with the baby wipe and wipe the splatters off is a good example of that So I don't have to worry about the ink moving or going anywhere. So now we're gonna give it a quick dry Hope it's dry We're gonna glue our words on and I'll probably put enough matte medium on here to put a coat over the dolls to ensure that they Stay on there. I'm going to not use that gift card because it's really gross. All right. Let's use a fresh one How cute is that simple page? I didn't do too much to it and it's cute. I really like it. Holy moly So there you have it something sweet something simple something quick With just what I had laying around So I hope that gave you some ideas of what you can do Don't forget to like share and subscribe if you want to buy a set of my stamps or Anything else for my Etsy shop to help support the channel The link is in the description below along with the links to my Facebook groups my Address for happy mail my email address if you want to ask a question anything like that It's all in the description below.
