Hi! I am Shelly Cordsen, from Expert Village.com. I am here to talk to you about rubber stamping,
which is a huge world and we are going to start with basic tools to get started. First
of all you have cards, note cards, I would like to buy value packs where you take your
note card, you can fold it in half and you have the matching envelope. It is cheaper
to do it that way and a lot quicker. We have stamp set you can go from wooden stamp sets
to acrylic stamp sets where you peel them off and stick them on and we will cover that
more later in our demonstrations. You need ink. There are all kind of inks, from metallic,
fabric, multicolor, regular ink pads, even ink that you do on ceramic tiles, plates and
glass. We have coloring tools. We have watercolor pencils, pain brushes, chalk, watercolor paints,
markers, pens and crayons. I will show you how to use every one of these in a later demonstration.
Naturally, we have got to cut our papers so we have paper cutters and there is such a
variety out there you can just find one that you are comfortable with. We have cleaning
pads. You can easily use a wet washed cloth, paper towel but when you get into this you
want the best of the tools. Glue, you can use glue sticks to get started, double-sided
tape very inexpensive. We have what we call Tombo’s double-sided tape. We have got to
make it all look pretty with your accents from flowers to brads, eyelets, you name it,
endless. And of course you cannot make a card without your color paper. We have cards stock,
you can get them in different sizes, they are heavy weight, we have what we call BNT,
which is background texture paper, lot thinner. Nowadays, you are getting them where they
are dual purposed; two colors on each side. There is so many papers out there you can
buy them in packs, chunks, and you name it the world is out there. Another project we
will be using is vellum paper. This is a see through thin paper, you can get it printed
on. These are what a lot of journaling, wedding announcements. You will print on a computer,
feed this through your computer, do all your writing, cut it out and lay on top of the
cards and you will see a project using our vellum. Thank you, we will be getting onto
our next project.
