At our card club a member showed us how to blend a colored background with three shades of a color (like all blue or green) and then stamp the stamp scapes in black. They were beautiful.
Glad you found your sewing machine. Can't wait to see a flip thru of your journal, it's so cute. Love the first few stamps you showed, so pretty. TFS! Hugs, Tia
Congratulations Kim! You conquered the sewing machine. Just be patient. Watch you tubes and you’ll be fine with it. All machines make knots tangle etc. there is no magic machine. 🤣🤣
Kim you did really good with your sewing machine. Awesome!!!! I’m loving the wood stamps. The scarecrows and the strawberries. Yes please !!! Good deal ! If you have never watched the guy design with Stampscapes OMG ! Look him up on RU-vid. He is a amazing artist. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 Tfs
Kim, those are some of my favorite stamps of all the ones you got. I love rubber stamps, which I could display all mine so I would use them more. You’ve got quite a collection. Y friend. Love it!. PS, glad you got your Singer up and running, I’m proud of you for that one.
Your journal is looking great! Wonderful stamps! You two will love Michigan! It's a great state! In fact, I think it's the best one but I am a little bias as I live there! Tfs
The creator of stampscapes has a tube channel, he shows how to blend inks on shiny yardstick. It's also good for using flat stamps for watercolor cards. DEE GRUNIG OF POSH IMPRESSIONS CREATED WITH HER HUSBAND. Congratulations on conquering sewing machine, tell Margaret hi.
Love your journal! Nice sewing machine! I had the same problem with my thread bunching up and found a YT video that showed how to tighten the tension on the bobbin. It fixed it, but it’s not perfect. I think I need a new one since it’s over 20 years old. lol Great stamp haul! tfs 😍
Great job with the sewing machine. I know how to sew. My Mom taught me when I was a kid. My Mom had three machines when she sold her house. Why I didn’t take one, I have no idea. I think you did a good job with the stamps. They are adorable. One of my vintage wooden stamps that is still useable, is starting to crack in the middle. How can I stop it? Tfs 😊
