I'm going to tell you one thing that you may not already know: Your transparent premade stamps are made from photopolymer, which is a waterbased material but ALL Stazons inks are solvent/oil based substance (that's why they're able to adhere to non porous materials like plastic) And that's also why you get that poor results. Because the stamp itself dont absorb the ink at all, and you're kind of smudging it onto those plastic film. Now try using one of those rubber based premade stamps (solid dark gray/orange color) And see how crisps the images are with that same ink!!
Hi Abi, I have been working with shrink plastic before they even made shrink plastic. We use to use the plastic lids from the paper soda cups at the fast food places to make our shrink items. So if there is someone who doesn't have the shrink plastic they can use plastic lids. To color your items you can use colored pencils, permanent markers, and acrylic paint. However, when using pencils you should rough up the plastic with fine grit sandpaper first. Then with the acrylic paint you need to use a really thin coat of paint because when it shrinks it gets darker and thicker and it will create a texture if the paint is too this. I find that the best thing to color with is permanent markers because you don't have any of these problems. Just remember what ever you do before you bake it with thicken and get darker after baking. So even the size hole you make is important, because if you don't make the hole big enough you won't have a hole after baking. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Hope this helps! Take care, Dee😊
***** Thanks you so much for your tips and advice! :D
Thank you for the tips! I think I am going to go get stuff to try this out today. Silly question; do you have to use clear stamps? I have stamps for scrap booking, but no clear stamps.
Hi! just wanted to let you know that you can actually use the Staz on stamp cleaner to remove the Staz on ink from the shrink plastic if you didn't manage to get a good impression the first few times. That way you don't waste the plastic :-)
QUACKmj Durrr, why didn't I think of that xD Thanks!
You can also use acetone/nail polish remover to remove the ink. You can also use permanent markers to trace a design that you want to make.
tinbiscuit...alcohol wipes work good also & baby wipes with some inks to remove them.
it looks so cool!! im always fascinated by shrink plastic and its wonders LOLOLOLOL but i agree, the white ink looks amazing
PolymomoTea I love watching it shrink. I want to try using a heat gun on it next :D
Luv u PolymomoTea
They look amazing! :) In Germany you can get a milky kind of shrink plastic too, that you can color on with color pencils, because it's a bit textured (rough). The colors intensify when it shrinks and it looks amazing. I loved to do that as teenager.
I haven't done this in a long time, but I used to go over the plastic with a fine grade sand paper to scuff it up before stamping (keeps the stamp from moving and smudging the ink), then after the ink dries color it in with colored pencil before baking (I baked it in my regular oven rather than a toaster oven). If you color with pencils, you have to make it dark so it shows up well when shrunk.
FarfalleAlfredo I've tried sanding and I feel like it bleeds a lot D: I like sanding for using colored pencils though! :D
The white cat stamp version looks fantastic! I just ordered some shrink plastic so I cant wait to try them. You can get a printable one so my aim is to print my illustrations onto them to create jewellery. Just discovered your channel today and I think it's great!
I've never seen a stamper like you're using even in top dollar craft stores!
Hello I wanted to give you a tip.. The reason you did not get a great impression with your stamp is because with clear stamps you have to buff them with a nail buffer- file.. Because they have a film on them that you have to remove in order for them to work properly. You will see a huge difference in the quality of your image. Have fun and thank you for sharing! Suzette :)
Suzie B you can use 300 grit sandpaper
i use clear stamps all the time and never done that with mine all i do is prime the stamp so ink it up stamp on some paper u dont mined wasting ( eg printer paper) then stamp with it and boom also if u are a good stamper u dont evan need to do that
I scratch the plastic to let the ink stay on better! it doesn't show after its shrunk ;) but I use staz on too! great work!
Sweetness ♥ I've done that to use colored pencils, but with the ink I find it bleeds too much D;
And just something I noticed form using shrink plastic is when you use wax paper that's what makes it curl up. 😀 so if you use a small, metal pan it shouldn't curl. 🎀
I'm going to try cutting some shapes out with my mini die cut machine. I got it off Temu, and it works great, but never tried it on shrink plastic. Fingers crossed! I'll have to find my biggest diecuts, but seeing the mini's opening is only about 3 inches, I'm hoping what I choose will be big enough! :) I've gotten tons of diecuts, so should be able to find something. Thank you for the video, and I've subscribed! Love your happy attitude!
I've just noticed this video is 8 years old! Gee, I hope your still making them. Awesome if you are! 😁
With clear stamps you usually want to put foam under what you're stamping on.
Thanks
You can buy the one that is textured on one side to use colored pencils to color on that textured side. As for me, I like the image outline on the clear smooth side and when ink is dried... color on the back
Oh and cut out before coloring
This is one plastic craft I love to use my brother scan n cut 2 for
It does amazing at drawing with a fine tip sharpie and then the machine cutting it out with all smooth edges and cut the hole where I want it. Scan in any kids line drawing and have the machine draw it in any size with shrinking taken into consideration... hole puck and make earrings or charms fro grandma along with the kids signature
Best tutorial I have seen in awhile. You are a lot of fun to listen to. Love it, thank you x
shrink plastic goes real well inside resin as well, shrunk or not. Printable is the best, colour with sharpie markers. Keeping in mind that when it shrinks the colour goes darker.
I just did try it out, it’s so cute! It doesn’t even curl up before they get flatten, instruction says put in oven 340 degrees F for 10 seconds, it just shrung😍😍😍
That is so neat. And it would look cute in resin now that it's the right size to fit in a bezel.
BrittCraft Oooh it would!
I always use a heat gun to shrink my shrink plastic, you also need a poky tool or something like that to gently hold on to you work or you will blow it off your work surface. Love your vids.
I just got a heat gun to use on shrink plastic! Thanks for the tip about the pokey tool to hold it down with! I'm sure mine would have gone flying right off my desk! 😂
You can try daiso inc
That white looks amazing! I would like to try this!
NeoKnacks It's a lot of fun, especially since I can't draw lol
You don't have to be able to draw, Abi. You can trace any picture you want to copy with a permanent marker. Heck, you can even mix creations by tracing a part of one picture, then tracing a part of a different picture. I have even made 3D animals by tracing the whole animal and then tracing two legs and then shrinking them all and glueing them together after baking. It's super cute because they stand up on their own. I'd love to see you try that one. Take care, Dee
If your stamped imagine is not clear, wipe with alcohol and start over. Not sure if u knew that little tip. Thank u.
Omg! I love Shrinky dinks!
Great video. Some Shrink plastics will already have a smooth & rough side to them. 😉
I've used textas & pencils to colour as well. A heat gun does work to shrink it.
My 100 yen shop finally started stocking frosted shrink plastic a while back and now it's the only thing I use lol
Question: do you have to have a toaster oven to shrink it? can you use a normal oven?
you can use a normal oven
Chalk ink works! (Versamagic)try this out it has a lot of colors this is what I use
And if your color doesn't stay in plastic you can shrink it first then apply some resin or diamond glaze :)
Oh, you can try I think they're called fabric markers. Oil base ink stays on
Do you think any stamp will work?
hi! what if you forget to cut the shrink plastic can you still cut it once it shrinks?
Not impossible, but you would need acrylic cutters or something like that. If it's just a little bit you might be able to sand it down, but I think it would be quicker to just remake the piece depending on how detailed it is. Also, if you tape your shrink plastic down to a piece of paper or draw on a large sheet of shrink plastic you probably won't forget.
atelierlorien ok thanks!
I never thought to use stamps on shrink plastic
hi! i have a question! I got the shrink plastic from Søstrene Grene and ti has two layers, if i wanna draw on it using regular colourful pencils would it work ?
This is seriously cool!!
Melissa Oldham I love it!
Where do you get the clear shrink plastic? Everything I get is frosted..
I get all of mine at the dollar store. I hope you can find some!
yes i need.i don't know for sale the stamps
I love your channel. Your pieces are so pretty. :)
Have you thought about using your shrink plastic in your resin pieces?
jacknsally18 That's a good idea! I want to try stamping on cured resin too :D
jacknsally18 great idea!
Where did you get the stamps? Did you get the resin kits online?
Can you colour it in after you stamped?
A charm for your pen
Ahh!! This makes me want to play with shrink plastic again x) These are so cute
SuzuShoe Shrink plastic is so fun and yet so frustrating at the same time lol
Hii...can anyone plz tell me which shrink plastic u all used? 😀
it is not recommended to use stazon cleaner with photopolymer stamps.
i do not a issue
It looks great and it is so cuteeeee. Love it :D
What do you do with the stamp after you finish? (because of the sticky side)
I'm deffo gonna use my embossing gun
the opaque white is amazing!
Loopy Land Let me know how it works :D
Where did you get the shrink plastic? Is there a link I can have?
eBay have a lot of options too.
Lynn Tan You can get them from Michaels.
Lynn Tan or #6 recycle plastic I'm p sure works
Oh.....🤔I was always wondering how I can hold those skinny thin transparent stamps !!! Got it, stamper😄😄
What is shrink plastic because I've hearded of it before
yeah same!
shrink plastic is basically plastic that when you heat it up (putting it in an oven) it will shrink pretty small compared to it's original size. if you've heard of Shrinky Dinks, it's the same thing :)
What crafts do you use these with? Or do you just keep them as keepsakes :)
anna lyndon I am use ing them to make a charm bracelet/earrings set
Where did you get the stamp with the Eiffel Tower?
How can the plástico is smaller than the start? It' magic?
These are so neat! I would love to try this. Thank you for sharing. :)
NemoCat20 It's a lot of fun :D
Where can I find those clear stamps? I can't find them!
can i spray on the shrink plastic ? (by using glow spray ) and put it to oven?
I would put it on after
I love watching it shrink... too bad you didn't show it... but your tutorial was crazy cute ;)
I love that part too! I need to figure out a good way to film it!
This is really neat!!
Lindsay Armstrong It's a lot of fun too :D
i may have to add this to a long list of things I would like to try lol
when the plastic shrinks, does it become thicker? :O
I always see people's shirk plastics curl in the oven. How did you manage to make yours completely flat!?
***** I press it between two CD cases :D
They curl and then they go flat and then you can take them out and press them :)
How can make small?
When I clicked this video I thought she was gonna stand like literally 'stamp' on it haha😂😂😂
Ny.Ny.Brown you mean stomp
Awesome! These would look awesome in resin! :3
***** I'll have to try that!!
where does she live? bc she always says she gets stuff at the dollar store and I go to Dollar stores all the time n I never see the stuff she gets. does she live in the US?
I'm in Japan! Sorry for the confusion :)
They turned out so cute! I wonder if I can find that shrink plastic in my Daiso as well. it was from Daiso right?
***** Seria, but I think Daiso has smaller sheets.
atelierlorien Cool beans. I wanna just try it to see if it's good for me before I commit to another craft. lol
Couldn't you have saved that first stamping area with the cleaning solution and just used the stamp itself for size comparison?
I cleaned it off after, but you're right, I could have used the stamp itself :3
Cute and great idea
CuteCrazyCrafter I think it's so cool!
Can u put the shrinky dink in resin after it's been baked?
Dana Boyce I don't see why not :D
You can
I don't have a toaster oven, so I use my heat gun that I use for embossing powder
What paper name?
whay temperature should I use for heat ?and how long should I wait?
Alia Amira look at the instructions on your shrink plastic
I love the cat one 😄
SakuraKinomotoFan It's so cute!
