Use a small artist's paintbrush to mix your gel food colors in liquid.
I love it...it works..I make my own coloured ink pad using hand sanitizer and I add a little bit of glycerin...and I use glycerin for mimicking the versamark... It works wonder and you can create various color of your own...I use food dye/ink bottle for printer to look like dye ink and I use acrylic to look like chalk or opaque ink(available ink pads that are dedicated for stamping sure expensive...)
This is a great idea. I wish I'd found you years ago, before I did without so many of the things I couldn't afford. But I'm here now, and this is delightful. The more of my tools I make, the better I like my art, because it feels like it is really "mine." Thank you for your creative solutions, and for showing the tedious, fiddly bits. It's good to know that I'm not the only person who has to spend a lot of time mixing or cutting or...
How clever and resourceful you are Amy. Thankyou for sharing
I've been a crafter for fourteen years.
Brilliant idea...!!! ✨️💖💖💖💖💖✨️
Thank you for this wonderful tip. You are so right about doing something, knowing people are watching you, taking more time and making more mistakes. It's the Universal Law of keeping us humble from believing/thinking that we are great at doing something. LOL
Mixing the gel with the smallest amount of hand sanitizer will make the emulsion much easier to incorporate. Maybe add 2 pumps to the gel and then after It's mixed add the other 8 pumps gradually. Just like mixing sugar into 1/4 cup is easier than mixing it into a gallon.
Are you a retired teacher? You are so good at showing every detail and I enjoy watching each video. Sometimes over & over. Thank you for your time and effort
Thank you! I just knew it could be done! I love the fact that I can make this! I'm looking forward to more days on your channel!✒️🔏❤
Amy you have a new fan. I love how you think out of the box. I wanted to try stamping however I was not willing to make the investment. You have made it possible for a newbie to try it out without the larger investment. Thank you for sharing your incredible mind with all of us.
When you are using a brand new stamp if you lightly sand the surface it gives the stamp a little tooth and removes residue. Just a light sanding.
I'm already impressed, I can't believe I haven't thought of using an acrylic frame for a stamping block, Thank You!
You are a real genius. Thanks for saving my money. Love you loads. Blessings
I’m still watching your channel and I’m loving it.
That’s a lot of work, but it sure is less expensive than buying so many colors. And there always coming out with new colors. Nice demo!
Amy, just ran across this video today. Let me tell you girlfriend "You are brilliant!!!" How genius to come up with this idea!!! And you are so good at explaining everything you do. Crafting can turn into a lot of money, if we let it. So glad someone referred you to me!!!! Have an outstanding day!!!! 💜💜💜 ☺
Just wanted to pass this info on. You may already know this. But when you have a new stamp, if you rub an eraser over it just a little b4 using it, it helps it to stamp better. New stamps usually don't stamp good the first few times. But it did help when I tried it. Just a suggestion. You can try if ya want. TFS
You rocked this one! I never would have thought the ink would have worked! Kudos to you!! Thanks!
Everything you used is non toxic. For me, I would use a bowl that has no recesses to mix. You should be able to mix with a fork, or whisk, and could strain through a coffee filter. To thicken you could use glycerin. You could also use a disposable glove to work it through your stamp pad. You should also be able to mix your colors, try a toothpick into the gel food colors so you don’t spoil your Wilton gel food coloring. You might do better releasing your stamps with a quick shot of your hair dryer or heat tool. Thanks for your video!
