Stamping with Inktense blocks & a Stamp Giveaway!

| thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich

Hi Friends! I am beginning to feel like a game show host with all of the fun giveaways lately! Up for grabs today are the butterfly and peony stamps I used in my video and a $10 gift certificate to Art Neko! This contest is open word-wide so everyone can play! All you have to do is leave a comment and I will pick a winner at random next Monday! Now watch this video for this fun technique!

You can also do this technique with colored chalk (pastels), watercolor crayons and in some cases watercolor pencils. Try what you have. You can also use water based markers for a different look but still beautiful. Try this technique with the stamps you have OR if you are inclined to shop for the ones I used you can use my coupon code Lindsay10% to save 10% on regular priced items your next order at Artneko. The Butterflies I used are also on the beautiful Cats set (A huge 8″x10″ pate) that is normally $29.99 but on sale now for $12.99 and the peony is available as a single stamp for $6 (reg price $8) or you can get it as part of this beautiful set of Assorted Ancient Asian Images for $14.99 (regular $29.99) I love it when the sets I picked to use are on sale! I have no idea when the sale is over so don’t wait if you want these. If you buy it and end up winning they will let you choose different stamps:) Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Keep up the lovely work. I’ve shopped with Art Neko in the past (thanks to one of your videos), and I have to say I was not disappointed. I bought a very inexpensive “sheet” of stamps and it had to have had nearly 50 stamps on it! The deep rubber stamps are great for working with polymer clay. In fact, some stamped clay magnets using my set are next on my to do list. 🙂

I saw a gorgeous peony stamp some years ago, but it has since been discontinued. This new peony stamp is really lovely! I like the creative way in which you used the peony stamp to make a border for the main card panel! Wow! Thank you for so generously sharing your wonderful ideas and your hard work!

  158. Love the card and the peony stamp.

    I actually think the “congratulations” looks out of place? It doesn’t quite fill up the space it’s in, or maybe it’s not bold enough. So either:

    1- try the card front again without a sentiment (I know it can’t be undone, maybe tie some pink/purple ribbon across that area?), or

    2- add a line flourish underneath the congratulations and maybe even trace over the word with a pen to make it more bold, or

    3- add some embellishments (sequins or pearls as suggested by others) near the word.

    (Of course it’s still beautiful as is, but since you asked…)

  168. Great card. Love the stamps you used. I would have made the sentiment bolder by layering it on a complimentary card stock using foam pads. Stamping the butterflies on different angle and spacing would take away some of the white space and link the 2sides with splatter

Those videos especially have helped to remind me of how much I love art and how much it soothes me. I have lost touch with my creative side, I guess you could say. I always thought there wasn’t enough room for it between marriage and children and work. I was diagnosed with several chronic pain illnesses a few years ago and with my now limited mobility, I need a creative outlet now more than ever. You have sparked so much inspiration with your channel. Thank you so so much for sharing this part of your life with us! Please keep up the beautiful work! ~Cindy

  282. Hi Lindsay,

    As usually, I love the colors you pick and the stamps are pretty, especially the peony stamp. When you seemed to wonder if the finished card looks good I wondered what could possibly be missing and after a while I thought: with all those cool colors (even the red was a cool red), maybe a touch of a warm color somewhere as a contrast would make the mass of cold colors look even better. I wouldn’t know which color though, green or a warm yellow or something else.

    I enjoy watching your videos and checking your newsletter every morning. It’s like having an ever-lasting Adventscalendar with something good every day! There is no better way to start the day!

    I love the stamps. OMgosh, peonies reminds me of my dear mother. Butterflies are me!!

    What a great idea about the sentiments!!

    I have done something similar. I could never understand why people what to keep their SU stamps all together in a box.

    Thanks for such a wonderful card idea and the give away!! I never win, but that’s ok. I love watching your videos anyway!!

  287. Lovely tutorial Lindsay – thank you so much for all your fab inspiration. After watching your tuts re the Inktense blocks, ages ago I too took the plunge and invested in the blocks. I too, haven’t gotten round to using them properly yet, so again – you’ve inspired me to get my act together, get the tin out and do something LOL. Keep up the great work! Liza Doss

  374. Blue is my favorite, hands down. If you still want to add something, you could add dotted-line loops to show the butterflies’ flight paths. Another thought would be a patterned exclamation point after the “Congratulations” in some glittery gel pen. If I’d done the text stamping, I’d probably have gone for gold embossing powder atop embossing ink. Whatever… maybe a few flecks of gold throughout the card, just for the snazz.

    My cats “come when called” but it takes time and training. Even so, sometimes they’re busy and expect you to leave a message. They sure do have their little quirks!
