 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting and today I'm coming to share with you my stamping learning. I do watch so many videos with stamps, with stamping and sometimes I do feel overwhelmed because my stamping is not perfect and I'm still not strong with stamping and when I watch those videos where all kinds of beautiful backgrounds are happening I feel I want to do that, but mostly I do end up with kind of like mess which is terrible to look at and it's mostly ending in the bin. So today I would like to show you what I found this year, this Christmas. I do have here collection of stamps I shared with my ambassadors and we are using them and I do have one collection which I really like. I think if you do have the good collection of stamps then you can create magics really easy. You have this collection of these now I'm talking about Christmas, but I do believe it can be applied to any theme. If you do have good stamps which suits you, which suits to your feelings, to your style and you feel comfortable with them. Like I do have these, they do have beautiful style, beautiful images. They do have perfect fonts which I really like and I found that I can mix these with any kind of shapes. If I don't do it over, like too much. So I do have here a few things I would like to stamp and try if they will end up nice way which I will like. For today I'm gonna be using just two colors because that's where I do feel comfortable. And I'm gonna be starting just with this collection. This is by the way Woodware Collection Santa Post Elements. So grab your stamps and we're gonna try to do some magics. I do have here these two tags and I'm gonna start with the background. This it does have so many beautiful words. This has all kinds of Christmas or winter activities in the text. Really beautiful. Nice fonts. That's why I feel comfortable with this stamp. So I'm gonna start with probably this one. Although I will start with that circle and I will do very simple tag. But I do believe it will be something what I will like, what I will enjoy and what will don't be too much for me. So I'm gonna stamp just this with red. I'm gonna stamp inside my little tree because I like the tree from this stamp collection the most. It does have nice shape. It does stamp really beautifully. If I will see that, right? Just please forgive my stamping or my too inky tool. That's what I am saying. I do have quite heavy hand with my stamps. I need to learn how to be softer and how do not put too much pressure on myself or on my stamps. I'm gonna place this one here. And now that background stamp. And here I'm gonna do a little magic for myself. I'm gonna create template from this. I'm gonna place my little template over my stamp. Grab my background stamp and go. And I do have my tag done. If I will want to add something here, that will be probably just kind of like shades and splatters because I like that vintage style. So I'm gonna be using probably these and some earthy earthy tones because I will do this one in the vintage style. So I will go very easy with some kind of splatters and shapes or shades, not shapes. Shades in the corners to make it look vintage, but that will be all. And I will call this like finished tag. And maybe if I will really want to go like to Christmassy, I will add a little bit of glitter to that Christmas tree. But I don't have glitter ready to use yet, so I'm gonna call this one like my totally finished project. My stamping, easy stamping, where I feel comfortable with it. I didn't overload it. So I will feel comfortable to use this one. Here I do have this little tag. So first I'm gonna stamp 25th. Yeah, like this. I'm gonna try my little snowflake. And the background stamp. I'm gonna go over and around that snowflake. I'm gonna place it here. I'm holding it nearly in the air. And I'm gonna press here. Yeah, do you have that something? And I'm done. It's simple stamping with pressing my stamp just around. I do have this. So I'm gonna keep it this way for now. Maybe I will decide to go with little bit something more. I do have here envelopes and the pen on the size. I will use different stamps. So here on this one I will create kind of like Santa post envelope. And I will go again very easy way. So I'll go up here, Santa post, and create post marks this little fella. And I think I'm done with my Christmas little envelope. Just very simple stamping. And again, if I will wanna add something a little bit more, I will go with those earthy colors, those earthy tones. So I would use seal brown. And again, I would use just drops and shadows and distressing. Something like that. I will don't go too much. And it's just because, you know, I'm still learning something. And if I will overdo it, that will makes me do not want to stamp again. Do not learn to stamp again. So I need to go easy on myself. Do not do complicated or, you know, complicated designs. Which I really love to watch how they do became. But I don't like to make them just because I know I'm not there yet. And maybe a little bit distressing on the edges. And I do have my little bit grungy Santa envelope. Now I do have here the envelope and I would like to make this envelope fully decorated just with space for writing address. For that I need to create again some kind of template. I do have here piece of paper, 3 and 3 quarter by 2 and 3 quarter. And I think that will be big enough for writing address. I'm gonna take just paper tape, all it all together, stick it in the middle like this. This is less sticky than my double-sided tape. So that's why I'm using this one. My double-sided tape is sticking too much and I will don't be able to peel it off after stamping. So I'm gonna place it here just like template and now I can stamp all over it. So I'm gonna take my stamps and do some stamping. And I would actually use again these but mix them with some different patterns. So I'm thinking I'm gonna use this. This is collection from Creative Expression. And it's called festive flurry celebration. Really beautiful stamps. I'm gonna use this the other way. Thumbara. Here and there, like this. Now I think from this collection this is festive traditions Christmas past. I'm gonna be using bell. Which one? This one I guess. It does have two sizes of bell, one bigger, one smaller. Yep. And now this collection I'm gonna add other elements to this one. So I would like to have there two circles. One will be here, here, the part of it. And that's all. And these ways. Probably number because I like numbers. I'm gonna go again with that Santa post. Oh no, that will be too much large bright thing. Now I need to go with this one. But here I'm gonna be using only the... Earthy color. And I will hope for the best that it will be visible. I'll actually have that something. Which way it goes. I think those earthy thorns are sitting nicely in there. I'm gonna do same... I mean with the same color. I'm gonna do stamping with these textures. Now big reveal. I'm gonna peel it off. And I do have my envelope with Christmas theme. And very soft one. Done. I can put address here, put here stamp. I mean postage stamp. And send it. Look at that. Doesn't look bad. Here maybe I can do same stamping. Or I can just keep it this way. Or distress it even more to match it all together. I would probably distress it more. This white space here. Kind of match it all together. And it's easy stamping. I didn't overload it. And here I do have this large envelope. I'm gonna be using here these beautiful large warts. This is also creative expression. Clear stamps, festive flurry sentiments. And they are gorgeous. So I'm gonna create stamping around these warts. I'm gonna use Christmas of course. So how about put Christmas right here. Think this way. And then I'm gonna do Christmas. With the red ink. Hopefully I do have enough of red ink in there. We will see. With the black ink as well. Very weird colour now. I do have ink everywhere. Peace. Joly on this side. And you can flip it over and go somewhere. In the same distance with other stamps. I'm gonna be using greetings here. And again I'm gonna go with the red ink. Oh. Probably somewhere here. I would say. And we do have holidays. The holidays I'm gonna place around here. Yep. Nice stamping that holidays. That went good. That went really well. Okay. We do have base. Now I'm gonna take these small ones. And add their little elements. Benefits here. Do not open. And maybe here as well. My acetate. Here in the back. And I'm gonna add just this one. And now I can choose the ink I wanna use. I think I'm gonna try with black. I'm not sure how that will go. But I will try with black ink. And do same like I did here. And go around these. So this would be all stamping with darker colors. Then I will take again some of these textures. And I will stamp all around to create some textures. Splatterers. I'm gonna try this one. And I will see how that will go. And I think that would be all what I would do. Probably. Maybe I will do some shading. Or maybe I will kind of like make a mark. That it is like a ribbon. But with easy stamping. Where I will use just, you know, few colors. You can create beautiful things for your Christmas. And for your cards. And this is especially for people who are like me. And they don't feel comfortable yet with their stamping. And they need something easy to do. So I believe just two colors or three here in this case. That I do have that seal brown as well. So with just few colors you can create beautiful, beautiful images with your stamps. So go to have a look into your stamping stuff. Grab your stamps. And I hope you will enjoy your craft. Thank you so much for visiting me today and spending your time with me.
