I am so joyfully relieved to know there are other people out there that save stuff like cardboard, bottle caps and other little toys and things to use for patterns and textures!!!! Thank you for sharing all this.
You are most welcome.....Stencils definitely have their place but they are definitely NOT the only tool in the toolbox.....The more I create the more I use this type of mark making tool....Have fun with it...try all sorts of things . Karen
Hey Kady, thank you very much for showing those inexpensive ways to make that great markings!!! It helps me a lot, because I don't have the money to buy anything "special supplies" and I think, I'm not alone!! Please go further this way of making great art in inexpensive ways - it could be helpful for a lot of people maybe! I'm very interested in making some spray inks but please also cheap resp. inexpensive....
Barbara Ihlefeldt yes I agree a lot of people don’t have the money to buy all the fancy supplies. In all my videos I stress using what you have. In my Technique tag series I show how to get certain effects using a variety of materials so people know they don’t need to buy it all. In my craft hack playlist you will find how I made sprays with Wilton cake decorating gel as well as many other craft hacks that will save you money. Happy creating. Karen
Glue two pieces of inexpensive fun foam together. Take a ballpoint pen and draw a design into the fun foam. Voila! You've just made your very own stamp. 😀
We have mommy markets in PA and can get very gently used shoes for a quarter! The tiny shoes, sneakers, and sandals are adorable mark makers and easy to store. It's the season for yard sales also. Have fun looking and think of me!!
Thanks Ann. Yes having the cards reminds you of what you can create. I'm hoping to make videos where I use these mark makers to create backgrounds. Karen
I hope I can find a Lego platform. It makes such cool marks! Great tutorial, Karen. Looks like I too would use my handwriting stamp block because I too have taken my rubber off mine and kept it.
cheryl7476 Cheryl. If you can’t find in dollar store, there is a link in my amazon influencer store or you may find it in garage sales. When put on top of other colors it really makes interesting designs. Karen
Just thinking of the stamps you find at Goodwill and Salvation Army. I often don't care for the stamps but now I might get some and use the wooden part to use with homemade stamps made with these kind of things.
I prefer using paint but you can use some of these with ink....Depending on mark maker you will get a variety of quality of stamps....try and see if what you get works for you. I find using stamp pads gives lighter marks overall but maybe my pad is not as juicy. K
Looking for your video on how to easily peel a layer of the cardboard, it always takes so long picking off the little bits that are still there after peeling!
when you are in my channel....there is a search bar...you can type in cardboard and it should search just my videos and find you whatever you are looking for. th-cam.com/video/2HWWRxGzccY/w-d-xo.html
When at anyone's TH-cam channel..if you go to their front page...at the top right hand there is a search line....just type in keywords and they will show the videos that fit....That being said here is the cardboard video link th-cam.com/video/2HWWRxGzccY/w-d-xo.html

ladybug639 I find I’m using these mark makers way more in my art lately. Have fun. Karen

I love the spiral mark left by a springy kitchen whisk!
It's amazing what you can make marks with that's in your kitchen. Karen
Jaja...!!! El arte nos rodea...genial...!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Gracias por ver

I've done that....it's so easy , quick and there are no limits..thanks for sharing. Karen
The bottoms of children's rubber-soled footwear has neat patterns as do adult sneakers and flip flops!!
I love that idea Karen. I must go on a shoe search. Karen

Your on.. K
You are so organized. i like the cards as a quick reference to marks i can use in my art journal pages. Thanks for some new ideas.
Thanks Ann. Yes having the cards reminds you of what you can create. I'm hoping to make videos where I use these mark makers to create backgrounds. Karen
Definitely going to the dollar store TOMORROW :) Thank yooooou .
Have fun looking at things differently and finding some gems. K
You could sew the embroidery mesh around a tennis ball
Thank you. K
I also like using bubble wrap, thrift store lace, and paper doilies. Also go outside and pick up some leaves
so many household items work well. K
I hope I can find a Lego platform. It makes such cool marks! Great tutorial, Karen. Looks like I too would use my handwriting stamp block because I too have taken my rubber off mine and kept it.

I often don't care for the stamps but now I might get some and use the wooden part to use with homemade stamps made with these kind of things.
With the tennis ball you can avoid the hard edges and probably cover more area...just a thought
Sounds like an idea to try for sure. K
I need to hang out at the dollar store!
It's a dangerous place.....I love it. Karen
Great video. I love to use paper towel and toilet paper rolls. And fun foam die cuts. I mount my on my acrylic blocks with double sided tape.
I keep forgetting about using double sided tape with the foam die cuts...thanks for the reminder. Karen
What if you are using a stamp pad instead of some kind of paint? Does that work as well?
