I wish I could like this twice; this is still the best video here on the correct way to make your own stamps and print effectively. Thanks for using the correct terminology and not saying, "so um, ok yeah" ten thousand times!
Another fabulous teaching and learning video! I haven't done this since high school- oh the 70s were great! Such good ideas, tips, hacks and goofs to avoid. Thank you again for such a great video.
Even though I have no interest in stamp carving whatsoever, you just have such a cheerful and positive personality that I have to watch most of your videos! Keep up the great job!
Thanks, Lindsay, for a super informative video. By showing the process in real time, you've provided the necessary instruction to get started. Now, I have a realistic idea of what tools are needed and what my first designs will be.
Lindsay, you're so funny! You're like, "Be careful, be careful, these are sharp!", and you're running your hands all through them! Scared me to death! This is great. I want one of these kits. Thanks.
I've only seen this process before. Didn't know that there was any such thing as making your own stamps until then . I love feathers and already have some stamps, but I liked seeing the tutorial. This maybe something for the future; the idea of drawing and making my own stamps is something I like.
Love block carving and printing. Speedball also makes a water soluble oil ink that works great on paper and fabric and does not require heat setting of fabric. It's great stuff. thanks Lindsay!
Wow! Fun! This takes me way back when I was young in grade school when we did this!!! I remember how much fun it was and I want to do it again!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!💗
I did a wood block carving when I was in High School - it was a carving of attached brick row houses - one of them was my house. Had all kinds of detail - building were 100 years old then! I used different color paints rolled on and printed the block several times forming a long row. It looked great! I won a prize, and my art teacher wanted to buy the block from me! :) LOL! oh, I should have kept up my art then!!
I've had my stamp carving supplies in my "to do" box, now that I know that it might dry out and how easy this is ... time to hit the craft room! Thanks :)
Thank you for the full length real time video. I've never carved or etched into that rubber stuff and I enjoyed watching. So much so I might even give it a go. Ty Not a smart art box but getting the tools and one of those rubber things.
Years ago I purchased a set of wood carving tools from a craft store that was going out of business. I still haven't used them, but it never dawned on me to use them for stamp carving. I've had ideas to do some, but didn't realize I already had the tools to do them. Thanks so much. I agree with the other poster about "Weirich withdrawal," too! lol
so cool!!! I wish those kits had been available when I was homeschooling my daughter through jr high and high school. That would have made an incredible art class for her. I need to let some of my friends that are still homeschooling their older kids about them.
Something I know my printmaking professor did for his blocks to keep them from drying out as easy, he would put them in ziplocks with a paper towel with water and glycerin in it and it helped keep them springy a little longer. Not a total fix, but it's something worth trying!
Hi Lindsay, It was fun to finally see how to do a block print. I have not be able to find the right blank block to carve. Seeing you video certainly help answer some of the questions I have in regards to block printing. Great Video. Dominic
Loved it! Very informative. I haven't done anything like this since elementary school and I'm 49! We used the linoleum blocks back then I know I kept it for the longest time, I should check my attic for it
Just found you. Omg, love how delicate your instructions are. I'm new, so new I just bought my first couple of stamps lol. And, there are so many designs I think I could make myself, and you have shown me....I can!
I have been wanting to make my own designs for years but didn't think it would be so easy to cut. Now l have the confidence l need to try this. Thanks once more Lindsay, for your sharing. You are the best for giving instructions. Only thing is, you make me spend money. Lol Just kidding.
Hello from down under. I came across your tutorial in my quest for making my own stamps in order to save some money. It was very useful. Thanks so much. Btw, I think we have the same jumper :)
I actually was able to block print in a traditional print shop in Delhi!!!! I went to India for an art class in college where we studied the architecture and art throughout North India! Thanks for this!!!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich it was really neat, and our first full day lol so I was a bit out of it but we later had the fabric made into clothing so I still have it...yours turned out beautifully...I'm still in love with indian textures and patterns years later lol thanks for your videos! Always an inspiration!
WOW.....this is totally "cool" Lindsay! Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard or seen this done before! I am so "stoked" to give this a try but at the moment, I will have to save before I venture into another crafting area. I'm still working on all the techniques for card making but you have definitely peeked my interest! I'm telling you Lindsay, you are a walking craft encyclopedia LOL! TFS
Thanks for a very thorough and informative tutorial! Having carved on Linoblock years ago I found it very difficult and only completed one block, just didn't want to battle another. I must try one of these new rubberlike blocks. These seem to 'cut like butter', indeed an improvement over the linoblock. I so enjoy all your videos Lindsay!
Talk about synchronicity, I was looking at a piece of leftover 4' x 5' vinyl flooring; I noticed the back was of the same material if not similar to the lino carving material we used in H.S. I thought, hmmm I can make designs on that and bingo print up my own logos on bags. For the life of me I couldn't remember what the tools were called that we used. Today in my recommendations this video popped up. So yeah, synchronicity!
Such patience! I am known for my patience, especially when I am teaching, but I think this would test me. I would rather just buy my stamps. Interesting to watch, though. You do make it look easy. Well done! The other thing that tests me is looking for mislaid items, grrrr! Elaine
I enjoyed the whole video! This is something I need to try, for sure! Your stamp is beautiful! And I love how you swim with the Dolphins, haha, such a great tip!! Hugs, Debra
You may already have a video on it but one explaining what each different head for Lino cutters actually does and how they should be used would be cool - I've not done a lino cut in 30 years and have considered it but don't really know how to get the best out of the tools. Love this lino alternative - I hated carving actual Lino at school! It took hours!!!
I just love watching your videos , you are great at teaching and explaining and I have never seen or done any of this its fascinating to me I usually just make cards but now I want to try painting stamping everything thank you for the push to be enthusiastic about what I do, like you are , :o)
A paper recommendation for printmaking: Somerset Printmaking Paper from St Cuthbert's Mill (same folk who make Bockingford and Saunders Waterford watercolour papers) is really nice and great for stamping (it's in my forthcoming paper review) - if you tweet the st Cuthbert's mill folk, they seem pretty happy with sending people a sample pack with a roughly 6"x4" sheet of each of their papers or with 3"x3" pieces of all of their papers - just enough to decide if you like it and they send you all the weights and finishes and colours if you ask nicely. Really nice company to deal with.
Great video Lindsay! I was definitely happier with this month's box. 😆 A while back I did get some speedball rubber and the interchangeable cutter but haven't used it yet. This will be a great add. I already had the wood carver set, but hey 2 sets are great. 😉 Now to find time in between all of my other projects to add this...lol 😃
Oh, I am so happy you did another stamping/carving video! I am looking forward to making my own stamps, and this seems like a wonderful way, and the items you used looked like it was not that hard...compared to say carving an eraser. The tools looked like they did a good job too! I am also very impressed that this company offers all that for the 50 dollar price. I checked out all the items on Amazon and it all came to just about 46$ before shipping. So they did great! I was curious what was the amount/size of the tubes of paint? When I priced it all, I figured roughly a 1.25 oz tube. If it's more, that's an even better deal. Do you also know if this company sells boxes individually, or only by a minimum amount subscription? I went to their site and found the older boxes up to May, but could not find the specific June box singly for sale. If they did have the lone June box without the commitment, they'd for sure have my business over Amazon! That is a good deal! =) Thanks for so carefully and precisely showing this demonstration, Lindsay! I loved it! =)
Lindsay - have you ever heard of Weirich withdrawal ? Not found in Websters but I guarantee it's a clinical condition I suffer with if I don't tune in to a video of yours daily! You are so much fun and inspiring, you don't waste time so I don't get bored. LOVE your art and ALL your ideas. Thank you!

+Paulina "Noches" Warmowska aww thanks much.
You have so much personality, this was entertaining and informative to watch
Very helpful! I’d love to see more stamp carving! Thanks!😃

Loved it! Cant wait to show Mrs. Bendele 30+ years later.
your voice has a very child-like youth vibe to it! what an energizing sound!
Bought back a lot of memories from school days , thanks Lindsay.
Love block carving and printing. Speedball also makes a water soluble oil ink that works great on paper and fabric and does not require heat setting of fabric. It's great stuff.
thanks Lindsay!
Excellent teaching. Best video I’ve seen on this subject. I learned a lot.
My stamp making kit just arrived in the mail today with instructions written in Chinese....lol. Thanks for teaching me how to do this properly!
Wow! Fun! This takes me way back when I was young in grade school when we did this!!! I remember how much fun it was and I want to do it again!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!💗

Did you sell it to her? If not, do ya still have it?
@@RoosterNutz12 I wish I still had it! I didn’t sell it, but it was a long time ago. I don’t remember what happened to it. 🤷🏻♀️
@@JeanneGS1 I have a few things from art classes that I wish I held onto also. I'm sure your buildings were beautiful though.
Fantastic lesson! Many thanks😁😁😁😁🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻

I adore your videos! They are always so fun and creative. Can't wait for more watercolor tutorials!

What a coinkydink! I just bought stamp carving tools today! You're awesome and always on time! ♥
I missed my chance to say how much I liked the card with the tule and Seahorses. Great card! Thanks
thank you:)
Hi Lindsay,
It was fun to finally see how to do a block print. I have not be able to find the right blank block to carve. Seeing you video certainly help answer some of the questions I have in regards to block printing. Great Video. Dominic
Love the way the stamp turned out! That looks like fun.
Thanks for showing this
Have a great day
Love this video! My art teacher in elementary school taught us how to do a very basic stamp once and Ive always wanted to try it again!
Loved it! Very informative. I haven't done anything like this since elementary school and I'm 49! We used the linoleum blocks back then I know I kept it for the longest time, I should check my attic for it
Thanks so much for this informative video. It's really given me some inspiration.
It wasn't too long. I watched it while eating lunch so it was perfect. :) - Heidi
funny but that's nice
Tq, very detailed demonstration. Very friendly to beginners like myself.
Just found you. Omg, love how delicate your instructions are. I'm new, so new I just bought my first couple of stamps lol. And, there are so many designs I think I could make myself, and you have shown me....I can!
I got this same kit! Haven't started playing with it yet, but I will!

Fascinating to watch! I remember being so frustrated with this project in school!

Thanks Lindsay, another fun project! I love feathers!

You continue to amaze me.
Lindsay, you are always such a joy to watch. You are a happy soul =^..^=
Watched and thought this was very interesting to watch. Love the whole process . Thanks forsharing
This looks like too much fun! Thanks.
Thank you for another great class! I love smart art boxes and you give a new perspective to the lesson. I'm learning so much!
Thanks for all the details, it was worth the time.
What a satisfying video! I couldn't just skim through, I really enjoyed watching you carve and ink, hehe! But now, I really want to try it!
Great tutorial. Thanks Lindsey 😊
WOW.....this is totally "cool" Lindsay! Forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard or seen this done before!

try it with an eraser and x-acto knife (be careful) many people have success with that method too and it is very cheap that way:)
You make this look really fun. I've tried carving my own stamps, but I just make simple patterns on small children-sized erasers.
Thanks for a very thorough and informative tutorial! Having carved on Linoblock years ago I found it very difficult and only completed one block, just didn't want to battle another. I must try one of these new rubberlike blocks. These seem to 'cut like butter', indeed an improvement over the linoblock. I so enjoy all your videos Lindsay!
Wow iconic! I love your analogies 😂

really helpful thank you! especially with the metaphor about the dolphins.
Thank you for sharing tips on stamp carving! I found this video very useful! Would love to see more!

The other thing that tests me is looking for mislaid items, grrrr! Elaine
Great project Lindsay!
Great video and the feather stamp is awesome.
Lindsay, this was a fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much.
I enjoyed the whole video! This is something I need to try, for sure! Your stamp is beautiful! And I love how you swim with the Dolphins, haha, such a great tip!! Hugs, Debra
My fiance carves laminate for our Christmas card each year! I think it's the coolest thing! Thank you for sharing! :)
LOVED this! I haven't done any block printing since I was in HS in the dark ages.....I think I have a craving coming on :-)
it was relaxing and satisfying watching the carving and inking :)
This is very interesting. Lots to learn Thank you, such talent I'm in awe.
Omgosh this was so helpful thank you 🙏🏻! I will share this with my class.

Thank you for this! I had just finished my box when this came up to view! too funny!
thanks again! 3
Excellent Job, I'm teaching a class and just wanted to confirm I was doing the right thing. I love that artbox you got, is it different every month?
I'm getting ready to try this, soon! Is there anywhere in your videos where you show how to sharpen those carving tools?
