Welcome to day three of stamping inspiration and giveaways!
Small wrinkle in my plans! Read for the change: For seven days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday — we're skipping Saturday & there's a special blog hop post on Friday for Art Journal Every Day) I will be giving away one of my brand new stamp sets from Canadian stamp manufacturer, Stamping Bella! All of the stamps are specifically aimed at art journaling. Of course you can use them for lots of different things, but my intention in creating them was for you to use them when you art journal! If you'd like to win today's featured stamp, leave a comment answering the question of the day (find it at the end of this post). You must answer the question of the day if you want to win! On Thursday, May 12, I will post all seven winners!
And, of course, if you want to buy any of the featured stamps, you can find them all here.
Today's featured stamp set is "Julie's You Me And Us Stamp."
I'm all about the mix and match! So while you can do a lot of art journaling and travel journaling and scrapbooking with the following mix and matching…
…you can also create some other fun combinations!
(watch for that heart stamp coming at you tomorrow!)
With a little bit of masking, you can adapt the "you"….
Feeling patriotic?
Watch the video for a peek at another fun idea:
Supplies used:
- Versamark Ink
- Julie's You Me And Us Stamp Set from Stamping Bella
- Koi Watercolors by Sakura
- Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
- Golden Fluid Acrylics
- Archival Ink from Ranger
- Clear Embossing Powder from Ranger
- Pitt Pen by Faber-Castell
- PanPastels and PanPastel tool
- miscellaneous: paint brushes, water, scrap paper, scissors, eraser
One of the nice things about this stamp set is the kind of jumbly feel. I really like that hand drawn lettering look and it fits right into my art journal pages!
Here's a peek at the journal page I did in the video:
And so many people mentioned on yesterday's post that their favorite stamp was a backround text stamp, so I wanted to show how you can use these stamps to create a text background too!
And here's what it looks like with a little something on it:
So what do you think? Are you a fan of hand drawn lettering stamps?
If you'd like to win a set of the "You Me And Us" stamps, here's the question of the day:
What are your pet peeves about stamps?

My biggest pet peeve about stamps is that I ALWAYS stamp with black ink…and I can’t push myself to use another colour. I hadn’t realized this untill I read your question…By the way, I also love these stamps! (Would love to see a complete alfabet with these!)

My biggest pet peeves with stamps are:
Hard to store the mounted chunky ones
Cumbersome to clean sometimes ’cause I obsess with the crevaces. lol
AND the wood ones are not always easy to “eyeball” the placement. LOVED the little video. Pinning this page. I love it!

Hi Julie, I don’t know about pet peeves, but I just LOVE the creative ways you find for using stamps. I mainly hoard stamps (although now I’ve limited them to one drawer), but seeing your original usage really makes me want to get out my supplies and stamp! 🙂

My pet peeves: I forget what I have… I store some in a drawer (the wooden ones) and some in a folder (the clear stamps) and I sometimes use what I see and come across a ‘better fitting on the page’ stamp later on… A bit like Helena commented…

My pet peeves are:
-clean my stamps
-when I just finish my page, my background and are perfect , I stamp on it and the stamped image is not perfect (because of the ink , or of the wrong pressure, I don’t know) ..so I spoiled my entire work!

Pet peeves? – funny name! 😀
_ forgetting to clean my stamps right after using them would be my biggest one i guess…Its just sooo much easier to clean them when the ink/paint are still wet, than hours later when its all dryed and takes a lot more work!
– Only using my fave 3-4 faves and forgetting about the rest of my stamps!
Lovely text stamps! Can think of sooo many projects to make with them!

My biggest pet peeve about stamps is actually sentiments that are not flexible (like long phrases). This set looks amazing – what a great design!

Uneven printing has to be the biggest problem with stamping. Some crafty people I know say they don’t do stamping because they ‘can’t’ (get the pressure right).

One of my biggest pet peeves is when stamps aren’t trimmed properly and ink gets on the rough edges and transfers to your project. The other pet peeve is the expense some stamps are really expensive.

My greatest pet peeve is that I can’t find the one I want, when I want it. Needless, the real problem is storage.

I do love my stamps but I do have a couple of peeves, stamping onto uneven surfaces and you don’t get a good image which then ruins your work but the biggest is when clear stamps just don’t last as long, although I think the quality is getting better now.

Finding the room to store them all. And each sort (acrylic, wood mounted, unmounted) presents different storage challenges. I have stamps in binders, in drawers, on shelves, and I just wish they could be better organized.

I’m not sure if its a pet peeve but sometimes it sure is frustrating that there are not many Indian themed word stamps out there!! I would have more fun making layouts or cards with sentiments in hindi or even in english.I normally have to always print them off the computer but i know stamps would sure be fun 🙂

My pet peeve is when I either don’t press firmly enough or have not sufficiently inked the stamp and the image comes out in poor quality. But thanks to Julie and my Art Journal Every Day, I’m learning to release my perfectionism. 🙂

my pet peeve about stampes is they cost to much. I’m on a fixed income and sometimes I can not afford to buy them like I want to..ps I loved your video and your pages with resist.

I’ve always thought stamps were too expensive and limited me to what they are. This set, however, changes my attitude tremendously! It’s awesome. I may have to get this one. Thanks for the great demo, too.

I don’t like storing them….sort of hard…and uneven stamping…ugh…but that can be turned into a design element. Having to say something bad about stamps is sort of like having to say something bad about your sister or something…..:()

I TRULY loved this Fast Forward video and the resulting page. I am looking forward to trying the Versamark technique to create a background page in my journal, as well as a paper stencil like you did with the heart. Great ideas! My biggest pet peeve with stamps is how I always seem to get a line of ink from the rubber around the stamp. I also have trouble getting my placement right–so letters are even, that sort of thing. But I still love to use them in my journal!

Loved this post! My friend turned me onto your blog and I am finding such insiration here! My pet peeve with stamps, is when you can’t get all the little nooks and crannies clean after you use it! Sometimes it just takes so much scrubbing!

I really enjoyed seeing your page come together and it reminded me that I have been wanting to create some resists with my clear embossing powder. The only pet peeve I can think of is when acrylic stamps are new they can make a poor stamp image so I clean and stamp and clean and stamp until I am satisfied with the stamped image. But the fact I can see through them makes up for this. I have few wood mounted stamps because of this. again very inspiring! tfs

Messy (oh that’s me!)
I have a hard time getting a good clean image exactly where I want it with rubber mounted stamps so I usually use clear which limits choics.

My pet peeve would be that I really like stamps with bold solid negative areas but it is so hard to get them inked evenly.
I like how versatile you are making these new stamps sets, Julie!

My pet peeve is that I have so many that I want to use all of them and then get overwhelmed and fall back on the same one. I need to branch out. Thanks for the chance on these wonderful stamps.

Love the video – you should be talking though and going slow motion as you are such an excellent teacher!
What was the brownish powder you brushed on the edge of the heart? Perfect pearls?
My pet peeve is really myself! I have a ton of stamps and do not know how to think out of the box to make them more versatile. That said i am working on that in my art journal and this video was definitely inspiring! I love this set and wish I had purchased it as well!

My pet peeve is really myself! I have a ton of stamps and do not know how to think out of the box to make them more versatile. That said i am working on that in my art journal and this video was definitely inspiring! I love this set and wish I had purchased it as well!

My Pet Peeves about stamps:
1) I never seem to have enough
2) Getting them clean
3) Can’t afford the good ones so you buy the cheap ones but they’re lacking in quality and sustainability but, that’s all you can afford
4) Getting the stamped design done right….
5) I have them stored in drawers and can’t always see what I have available so miss out on possibilities
6) Some inks are not compatible with some stamps and vice versus

Pet Peeve…hmmm…would be storage. I have a stamp binder with refills – still not enough. One manufacturer I put into stacking plastic boxes. Others I put in another kind of stacking plastic boxes. It’s just a mess! LOL!
I’m lovin’ this stamp set – it’s so versatile and I love how you show examples 🙂

I have too many and I tend to forget about them. So, I need to keep them visible which leads to a storage issue. Other than that, love them! And I love this set. Thanks for showing us it’s versatility and for the chance to win!

Nice variety of ways to use this set.
My biggest pet peeve is that I usually don’t get the first stamped image evenly inked.
When I remember to stamp with the paper on top of a mouse pad it does come out better (I think that I got that idea from your blog many moons ago).

Sigh, my biggest pet peeve is not finding stamps that I truly like. Have no stamp stores near, therefore, always looking on line and not always liking ones that are massed produced. One way to resolve my issue? Found a Rubber Stamp business in a city 50 miles away that will make the stamps I like, if he can. He normally caters to businesses and business stamps, but has been super helpful to me and has, so far, made all I have requested, with the exception of reproducing a photo of me and my sisters in a stamp, lol. We’ve just not been able to get one of four women done (to come out clear enough)…..

My pet peeve would have to be storage and organization. I seem to reorganize it all every few months because I forget where I put things.
I’ve also heard to use baby wipes to clean off stamps. One less trip to the sink is what I love!

Pet peeve is poorly made stamps. They cost just as much and look lovely and then no matter what you do, you cannot get a clear image – grrr.
Never have enough. Going to need a bigger house soon. LOL
Thanks for this fun game. LoriW at Art Camp for Women

Hm, probably storage. I have them in clear sleeves in a binder, but as my collection grows it gets pretty unwieldy.

My biggest pet peeve is trying to get the stamp exactly where I want it, which is why I need to work outside by comfort zone and be more free form in my design!

Getting a sharp, clean image, – whether thats me or the maker, it depends! and maintaining the ink/paint level so that they do come out more or less evenly, can be an adventure… being happy with the outcome, whatever it is, leads to more pleasure in using them though, i realise!
thanks, great ideas and good to see your new ones in use, I love the you me and Us stamps!

Cleaning stamps is my pet peeve. It seems like a waste of time to stop and clean them when they are only going to get dirty again.
ps: love the videos

One of my pet peeves about stamps is when they are not made deep enough or not trimmed correctly. Then I almost always get a little ‘extra’ line somewhere that I don’t want from the edge of the stamp! grrr! If I remember to test first and wipe away any extra ink then it works okay, but I like it better when it does not happen at all!

Most troublesome is storage and inconsistent results. Early on I bought cheap stamps and almost gave up because the results were unacceptable but now with better stamps I get better results although my budget allows for much fewer puchases so I look for stamps with the most versatility.

My biggest pet peeve is that (I am still so new to stamping) that I buy inks and they have dried out by the time I want to use them. Arrg! Makes me so mad!

hi…my pet peeve used to be never getting that perfect stamped image…either a corner was missing or the maybe the middle, yikes! But now I love the missed stamped parts; there is something about not being perfect that seems to provide avenues for playing with my journalling…..JoMarie

Another terrific video – love the journal page! My biggest pet peeve with stamps is getting the entire image…I ink the entire stamp and either end up with black smudges where I don’t want them or I don’t get the entire image the first time. This seems to happen whether they’re wood block or unmounted stamps. Maybe because I have arthritis in my hands and don’t apply enough pressure?

Echoing the cleaning and storage peeves. I have many wood-mounted stamps that are in sets, but I like to use one from here, one from there, and it is a pain to pull out all the different sets. And yet, I am afraid to mix them all up and make sets that make sense to me! I need to just DO that!

Aside from the fact that they are addictive. LOL I find that storage is my bigest pet peeve. I have so many different kinds and materials. I just try to keep all of the like ones organized and keep them all in a zip loc bags in a hanging file folder with the slots labled as to what they are. Not the perfect system but as least they are all in pne place.

My biggest pet peeve about stamps is that I usually *love* a few stamps in a set, but not the others and feel it’s expensive to buy a whole set if I don’t love them all. On the other hand, I think that is making me more judicious in what I do buy. . . so there will be fewer sets that gather dust and don’t get used.

Definitely that they aren’t self-cleaning! It’s the same pet-peeve I have about the house, the laundry and the dogs…if only I could find all of these things in self-cleaning models!

My pet peeve is that new don’t stay clean, they look gross after a handful of uses. I absolutely HATE that about them! 😀

My pet peeve about stamps? The way that a lot of mine don’t print well with the stamp pads I have. I haven’t gotten into painting them to print yet. Hope I win!!

Pet peeve would be cleaning the stamps in a timely manner after using them , especially alphabets. I usually want to add another word or 2 and then have to clean them again. Thanks

not being able to see exactly where I am placing a wood-mounted stamp, and not having the image evenly inked and stamped. I need to de-mount my wood stamps but I just haven’t taken that step yet!

Pet Peeve? Badly cut rubber (leaving messy edges) and not deep enough impressions. I want my rubber stamps to give clean & crisp images!

Pet Peeves: It’s NOT the stamps – must be ME!
1. Finding the perfect word or phrase stamp
2. They’re expensive
3. Storage
4. Smeared image
— LOVE your video. LOVE all your videos. IF I should win 1 of your stamp sets, I’ll be tickled pink b/c you’re my American Idol Stamper!

A huge pet peeve is when the stamp does not take the ink well. Some stamps, especially polymer, don’t do well with dye ink. Some will give a very blotchy image. I hate that!

My pet peeves about stamps:
1. Lining up individual letters – I like things messy but sometimes it gets ridiculous.
2. How on earth do you ink large negative spaces (flat, high, smooth parts) evenly??? I’ve tried EVERYTHING!
3. Acrylic stamps squish under my awesome power. I think “light, even pressure” isn’t one of my gifts.
4. There seems to be stamped images meant to be colored meticulously for hours and stamps meant to be inked, stamped and you’re done. What of you’re a me-ish sort and want to stamp and color for a few minutes?
Love your new stamp line, Julie. It’s beyond awesome!

Looking at the answers before me I have the same issues of storage and poor image quality but in all, my biggest pet peeve is TIME!! Not that It drives me crazy when my creative time is interrupted! Sometimes it is the phone ringing or the dog needing to go outside and those I shrug off but the moments that drive me the craziest is when my family stops by for a little talk! I love them all and for the most part they leave me to it but it never fails that when I am in the flow my wonderful husband takes that moment to want to talk about his day, because I love him to distraction I stop and listen and would never trade those moments even for more creative time but oh how I wish there were more hours in the day!
Love your journal page and all the cool art journaling sets!

My pet peeve is the high prices, also, since I am on a fixed income. I would like to add versatile stamps that I can use in a number of ways, and your videos and emails each day are showing me how to do that. Now…all I need is the stamps! LOL

Loved your stamps when I first saw them, but I’m way more in love with them now when I see all of the things I can do with them, THAT I DIDN’T THINK OF! You’re amazing Julie!!
Pet peeve(s) about stamps:
I can’t resist them, so I have more than I can keep track of and use. Bad habit!
Some brands of acrylic stamps, if not peeled away from their backing right away, stick over time to the point that they tear when I get around to trying to use them.
Some brands of cling stamps don’t really cling well to acrylic blocks.

Pet peeves hummm storage for one…getting ink on the edge of stamps and smearing them on a project…keepping the stamps clean but with all that I still love to do collage style and now moving towards a journal for myself…

I’ve purchased a lot of the less expensive clear stamps at places like Michael’s and eventually they turn yellow and don’t stick to the plexiglass anymore…that drives me nuts! The more expensive are fine so I’ve learned “I get what I pay for”. But I honestly think most stamps are a bit on the expensive side so don’t buy all the ones I like.

My pet peeve only happens with stamps that have a lot of “solid” and then it usually doesn’t come out perfectly. I couldn’t even buy one for the longest time but now I am trying to let go of my desire for perfection (loved your quilt with that saying BTW).

My pet peeve is the cost and maybe I don’t know if this is wrong or not, to get a good image depends on the quality of the stamp. When I get small to medium size clear stamps, I group them together and put them in a CD or DVD case & usually have the clear stamps in one drawer and the wood-mount stamps in another drawer.
Luv reading everyone’s responses and Thanks Julie for the fun questions, luv your stamps

My biggest pet peeve is having to cut and mount them myself. Takes so much time. I figure if I’m paying good money for them, this step should be taken care of. I am now purchasing more and more of the acrylic stamps now because of my pet peeve.

I wouldn’t call it a pet peeve. It’s that when I am shopping, I have a picture in my mind of the stamp I want, I can’t find something to fit the bill.
Thanks for showing us all the ways to use this set.

My biggest pet peeve about stamps is not having the one I want when I need it. I love how versatile this set is!

When I use a wood mounted stamp I have to be careful to keep ink off the edges of the rubber. No one wants an extra mark that is not part of the design!

My pet peeve is not finding the stamp I’m looking for because I have so many of them (half of which I don’t even use… but might!) so I guess it’s a storage/accessibility issue. I need to get organized!

Pet peeve about stamps for me, is definetly the storage issue, and then not being about to find the one I want/where did I put it!

my biggest pet peeve is that I clean each stamp straight away and then find out I want to use it again…. ggrrrrr

My BIGGEST stamp pet peeve—seems like I never use them as much as I think I am going to…for all the reasons everyone mentions in these comments! Watching Julie’s video stretches and sets off my thinking about ways I can use them. I would not have even considered buying the scalloped set–I shy away from things that first impress me as “cute”–until I watched Julie’s art journal page video. Now I feel like I can’t live without the scalloped set!

I guess the cost gets me. I like the larger stamps to create pattern and they always tend to be pretty pricey.

Think I like this stamp set best of all, would be perfect for so many of my scrapbook projects!
Things that annoy me most about stamps are border stamps that are flimsy & really difficult to align them straight. Also, stamps that have an uneven surface so don’t print properly unless you havve some soft padding under the card 🙁

Lining up wood stamps would be a pet peave Wishing I had my wood stamps as clear stamps so I could see where they are actually stamping. Like your videos very much and the versatility of your stamp sets. Thanks for sharing.

Cleaning them, and when the edges of the stamp leave marks on the project (agh, perfectionism).

I love the look of wood mounted stamps. They are cool to display in your art area. But, I like the see-through quality of acrylic stamps best. So, I guess my pet peeve is that you can’t always line up your wood stamps just where you want them. Thanks for the fun videos and a chance to win your stamps.

that I can’t alway get a clean image when I want one or a grunge image when I want that. I also don’t like it when “background” image isn’t big enough for the avg. size card let along anything bigger.

Uneven printing especially over acrylic paint. And the cost is pretty expensive for the ones I like.

Before acrylic stamps, my biggest pet peeve about stamps was storage…all those chunks of wood just took too much space! However, acrylic stamps are much easier to store (although they have problems too like losing their stickiness)…still love stamps though!
