Angel Policies & Copyright
There seems to be a lot of confusion following our recent Masterboard Prompt, especially regarding the use of stamped images and whether it is legal to use them in our Masterboards and then copy them for our own personal use.
Kylie and I have carried out an extensive amount of research regarding this, and it is our conclusion that if you scan or photocopy your Masterboard for your own PERSONAL use, even if you have stamped an image on it, you are NOT IN BREACH OF COPYRIGHT.
There are no terms of use on stamp packaging because the term ANGEL POLICY is not a legally recognised one. You as the buyer would have to agree to the terms and conditions PRIOR to the purchase of the stamp. No contract has been established between the copyright holder and the buyer and the Angel Policy is therefore NOT legally enforceable.
Many of the common stamps we all use have been created from images in the public domain, and these are not copyrightable and you are free to use them as you wish. A stamp can be copyrighted, however for the copyright to be granted, the image would have to be be changed so significantly from one in the public domain (for example a butterfly or a flower) that it was not recognisable from the original image.
Please be clear that we would not condone copyright infringement and we ourselves would never knowingly do so. We are referring here to a very specific use and would always suggest that if anyone is unsure about their use then they look at Copyright Law.
If anyone requires any further clarification, there is a great site which contains a wealth of valuable Angel Policy and Copyright information if you are interested.
Tabberone.com
Don't fall for that beloney.
I am curious about the supposed legalities of selling something with a stamped image on it. Just because they say it's their policy it doesn't necessarily make it the law.
They are selling you the means to use a stamped image, not the stamped image itself. It's not up to them how you use it. If they want you to keep the resulting image a secret that is invasive. They didn't invent butterflies etc. It's not an official copyrighted character.
If they took you to court for selling a card with one on would a court uphold that as if you've injured their business?
I hope someone can check that out if they know anyone in the legal system. I would be very interested to know for sure if they can demand private use only. I can't understand legal jargon myself. 😊
By the same token, the copyright issue could be extended to the use of books, magazines, newspapers, napkins, patterned paper, fabrics, die-cut shapes, stickers, washi tapes, etc and everything else we use in mixed media projects. It makes no sense at all to worry about these things!
I threw out four stuck punches only last week! Hubby rescued them from the bin and revived them by squirting motor bike lubricant into the mechanism. After a couple of hours and a good wipe down they are as good as new.
Mine’s now fixed too. Hubby grabbed the WD40 and it fixed it in seconds 💕💕💕
Jennifer Russell No don’t worry. Just wipe excess off and then stamp on scrap paper until its completely gone 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia Use Silicone Spray, it doesn't leave a residue and works instantly too, also good to use every once in awhile to prevent the metal from getting stuck...
It makes me madder then a pig at a buffet when punches do that! Martha’s punches are good for that! I appreciate any suggestions too! The hubby that took them and applied like a WD-40? I take a screwdriver and push that inside of that heart and sometimes it works. Thanks for the shares!👍👏👏👏❤️🙏😁
Love your buttons!!!
I love these buttons.
Thank you 💕
You are so brilliant 💕💕
The angel policies are beyond stupid. Who cares about whether you copy or stamp the images afterwards? Those people should go feed the hungry.
Its a minefield, but unfortunately rules are rules 💕
Exactly. And especially since these particular designs, the butterflies, are copied aswell, from nature. Not very original!
Nina Ribena but seriously though some rules are designed to be broken. I wouldn’t listen to artmaze or any other person with too much time on their hands, you are an artist and therefore a rebel-do whatever you want! Tell these people to get a job.
Crafty Cat Incorporated I totally agree, but recently saw a copy right strike video on a fellow YT channel. It’s a little different, but similar. sword’n’steele ua-cam.com/video/xJPiAxScEyQ/v-deo.html
Angel policies...bah! My husband just said that if companies that made screws or nails or whatever were to say “buy and use our products for diy use but don’t you dare make a work of art” they’d sharp be a laughing stock. 😂
When my punches jam... I take a screwdriver and tap or pry if need be to unstick the metal. Love these ideas. Thank you for reminding us on the angel policies.
Thanks for your suggestion. Its now fixed I’m glad to say thanks to a squirt of WD40 💕
That's what I was going to type out but you said it right! 😁♥️ That's what I do as well 😊👍
Metal expands when heated and retracts when cooled...perhaps put it in the freezer for a few minutes and try knocking it on a concrete or hard surface (carefully, of course)?
Hi,
When punches get stuck like that first try to knock it hard against a hard surface right way down.
Try a few times, and you have to knock quite hard.
Don’t use tools to hit the metal part, you risk to dull the sharp edges that way.
When the punch gets unstuck punch a few times with waxed paper.
I have found this works the best for me. 😊
Hugs,
Erika
Thanks for this Erika 💕
Love these buttons
Thanks Janice 💕
Years ago we took a craft class and we had punches that would not move. Machine oil, for sewing machines wouldn't work, screw drivers were used to pry them and then finally I said drop it on the floor, it's broken any ways. She dropped it and it worked! Never had trouble again.
Thanks Jody, I usually throw mine on the floor too as it often does the trick. This one was having none of it. WD40 worked in the end and it now works like a charm again 💕
what a darling project!
Another great idea - think you may have started a new trend - Artist Trading Buttons 😊
Haha 😂
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia just make sure you slap an angel policy on :)
Sorry you are feeling anxious, you have done the right thing making people aware. Lovely buttons & try putting punch in freezer metal will contract a little so hopefully will be released. Then after that pouch out some foil this can slightly sharpen the punch. X
Thanks Andrea. It never occurred to me that there was an issue as I only ever make things for my own personal use, so thanks for making me aware. I’m glad to say my punch is now fixed thanks to a squirt of WD40 which fixed it in seconds 💕
Good morning nina, really my jaw dropped , if you had used glue to put images of butterflies down, it would have been ok then???? Sometimes I just don't understand these rules, why make life so difficult???? Well that's out of the way, loved your buttons and I will make them soon. I am making a journal about frida kahlo and now I am working on the finishing touches and I will add some fridabuttons. Well have a good week and be a butterfly.love lena
Morning Lena. Basically, don’t stamp and scan. I had glued the stamped images on to my Masterboard as they were already stamped on deli paper from another project, but because I then scanned the Masterboard (even though its for my own personal use) that is the issue. You can only use original stamped images in any project, so to stamp on a scanned or photocopied background is fine. Anyway, I’m glad you like the buttons and I think Frida style ones will look fabulous. Have a wonderful week and see you next Sunday 💕💕💕
These are so cute, Nina!
Thank you 💕
Great idea. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Deborah 💕
I love making masterboards and can't wait to try these, they're so cute!
A phone book? Can’t remember the last time I saw one!
These are so clever. Love the way they look. Thanks for this wonderful month. It has been great fun!
Thanks so much Susan 💕
Oh gosh Angel policies, copyright laws it's a minefield.... Glad you sorted out your punch jam.... Wd40 is always a good answer to most things 😂😂👍🏻❤️
Love your buttons another great masterboard project and now there's another tool I need to find, I love tools and gadgets!! 🛠️⚙️😂😂💖💖💖
Yes, so glad its fixed 💕. There always seems to be another tool we need doesn’t there 😂💕💕💕
Love these Nina. I will definitely be making some or lots of these 🌼
Thanks Sophie, it’s a great way to coordinate your projects 💕
I love them. Love your crafts n ideas.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments, its really appreciated 💕
Quite nice, I love them.
Thank you so much 💕
So cute and creative!
Thank you 💕
I always thought if you were using the stamps for your own personal use and not selling it was ok.Even your photo copies you are not selling,but are for your own use,otherwise what is the point of even buying them 😕.What a carry on! I still have a couple of Dee’s buttons she sent me 😁.Used a few as centres of mixed media flowers 😁x
Yes I did too. Nothing is every simple and straight forward is it 💕 x
Adorable! Great ideas for the masterboards! TFS the inspiration and creativity, Nina!

Thank you 💕
These are fabulous. Looks very easy to do and is a great way of using up scraps, too. Tfs!
Perfect for scraps. Happy Creating 💕
love the buttons Nina...I do the same as TheVictorianEdge & use a screwdriver on my punches to free them up...doesn't work every time tho...I glued some of the bits of card that has the buttons punched out that have a bit of room still around them & glue & stack them to make a holder for the buttons when you put the holes in
Oooh that’s a great idea for holding the buttons in place 💕. Glad to say my punch is now fixed. Hubby squirted it with WD40 and it sprung back straight away 💕
Those buttons are gorgeous! Want to try all your projects. Thanks for sharing. 💫
Thanks so much Sharon 💕

Hi Nina! Oh I thank u for this video! I haven’t made homemade buttons in years but thank u for reminding me about them🥰💕 I’m in the middle of making a gnome for a friend & couldnt think of how to embellish it as I’m unemployed so I couldn’t run out & buy something. Now I know what to do. I’ll print the pic I want & make a button out of it. U truly made my day already!! I love ur master boards & ur artist trading cards & coins & ur journal. All r beautiful & I truly love that bird. It’s beautiful. Hugs, Donna
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Donna. I’m glad this has given you an idea for embellishing your gnome. Happy Creating 💕💕💕
Wonderful work. " Be happy- don't worry!" The downside of sharing freely!
Thank you 🥰
Lovely buttons Nina.

Thank you for the button tutorial. I am making Valentine cards and thought it would be nice to add heart-shaped buttons. Perfect timing!
How fabulous. They will be perfect ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You can make your own treasure gold material. Clear paste shoe polish and mica powder. Make any color you want!!
Ooh thank you. What a great tip ❤️
Lovely...you got it all buttoned up NIna!
Haha 😂 Thanks Betty 💕
Great buttons Nina! I watched Dees vid quit awhile back and one never tires of buttons!! 🤗
No, we can never have too many buttons 💕😘
Love them and I’m with you on the gold paste.
Thank you 💕
Copyright is such a scary area. What we can and cant do. Your masterboards and buttons are beautiful. Ive thrown out so many jammed punches. My husband has said i should punch through some sandpaper occasionally to keep them sharp. Tfs sweetie xxxx
It is. It never occurred to me that I was in breach for using them in this way. We live and learn don’t we. Glad to say a squirt of WD40 instantly released my jammed punch, so don’t throw any more away 😂. I normally bash mine on the table or throw them on the floor to release them, but this one was having non of it! So happy its fixed 💕 xxxx
Just what I was looking for! The only thing I would add is seal it with mod podge, and then a thin layer of uv resin, so you actually can use it in a sewing or crochet/knitting project. My mother does crochet a lot. I think I will make some buttons for her. Thank you very much! Greetings from the Netherlands
I’m sure your Mother will be delighted with some of these. Happy Creating 💕
Oh, these are so cute!!! Can't wait to do myself :-)
Enjoy 💕
Beautiful work!
Thank you 💕
Fabulous idea for handmade buttons! I'm heading to my studio to make some now!
Happy Creating 💕💕💕
Nina 3 months later I found this absolutely gorgeous tutorial, thank you and will give it a whirl for a future project! Be safe, be well!
Thanks Marci. Aren’t these fun 💕
Unjam by putting in the freezer. Contraction frees the paper.
Thank you 💕
Keep punches relatively jam free by "sharpening" .... punching into double or single folded aluminum foil multiple times.
I have contacted companies before to ask what their angel policies are. If they aren't "angels" lol, then I use someone else that has an open angel policy. I find the UK has some wonderful companies with open angel policies! Love your work...
Thanks so much Sue. I hope you saw the pinned post in the comments, as Kylie and I have done a lot of research regarding this. Check it out if you haven’t seen it 💕
Love the buttons. I will make some and post on the Facebook group.
Happy Creating 💕
Thank you for reminding me of making buttons. Yours are so pretty❣ Yes, Angel Policies, Copyright laws, Trademark laws all are some things to watch out for.
Thanks Patricia 💕
C'est magnifique, quelle merveilleuse idée.. Merci beaucoup pour ce partage. Bisous. Yo ❤️
Merci Beaucoup Yolande 💕
These buttons are so lovely. The trouble is I could just look and look and look at them. You're terrible at encouraging me to time waste x lol x Thank you for another great video xxx See you next week x
Haha! Sorry to be such a bad influence 💕
Wow that’s shocking about the stamps 😮 I love your buttons so cute! 🤗🧚♀️
Thank you 💕
Free up the punchby giving the bottom (metal) a couple of taps with a small hammer. That should free it up. Then punch several times with wax paper. Afterward, punch with foil to put a good sharp on the punch blade. Hope that helps! Creative Blessings
Thanks Kelly 💕
Your buttons are fabulous. Good luck fixing your punch. That looks like a good one. I am a slammer, and that has worked for me. I have used wax paper and sandpaper with mine, but never a lubricant. I was afraid the oils would continue to drip on my paper. Sandpaper and tinfoil are suggested as ways to sharpen, and the wax paper to keep the metal grinding smoothly. Love what you have done with your master boards. I made mine out of romantic/vintage Valentine cards I have received since the70’s. Don’t cringe, I only saved those with a certain look. I had about fifteen. I love how they came out. My friend copied them for me on her scanner. I didn’t stamp on them yet, but you have given me some great ideas. I don’t sell my work, but I wonder now if I should even bother using them. Such a scary area. Thanks for everything you do to improve my creative journey. You are an excellent teacher. I saved this video to two Pinterest boards! Hope people will see it and hit all the right buttons. LOL
Thanks Evelyn, I usually throw them on the floor or bang them on the table and that usually does the trick, but this one was having non of it. A squirt of WD40 has done the trick and is quite easy to clean up too. Thanks as always for sharing, you know I always appreciate it 💕🥰🥰🥰
Very cute buttons Nina xx.
Thanks Mel 💕
Great idea thanks for sharing
Thanks Sherry 💕
This is a lovely use of your master board tfs Nina
Thanks Maggie 💕
That is a beautiful “matte “ you must use them, not waste them, this whole thing with “you can’t use them, you can use them “ it really has got carried away. It’s something you created. You aren’t selling them. Like the other lady said stamp over them.... this has been blown out of proportion
Thanks so much Kim. It does seem ridiculous for something I’m using for my own personal use doesn’t it. 🤔💕
These are great! TFS! xo
Thank you 💕
Really like these Nina. TFS xx
Thanks Wendy 💕
