Today I took a Back to Basic Stamping class that was given by a local rubber stamping store. I’ve always collected rubber stamps because they were cool but never really knew what to do with them. All the different inks and papers always overwhlemed me and I didn’t know what to use with what. So this class sounded perfect to go over the basic of rubber stamping. Well the class was great and now I want to stamp! We learned about dyes, inks, paper and the coolest technique – heat embossing. I came home tonight and bought online with a coupon a heating tool. LOL! I’m even thinking of taking another class this Thursday night to really apply what I learned because I know if I don’t do something with the knowledge I have I’ll forget it. Least this will put all the cool stamps I’ve been collecting over the years to good use and out of the boxes I’ve hid them in.
I’m going to try to do some more hands on crafts instead of all digital stuff. I was going through boxes this weekend and found lots of artwork I did in college and high school. So much of it was mixed media and really cool. I’m going to try to have some fun creating things and not stress over it. Well TRY is the key word.
Anyways, I’m off to bed now to get ready for Monday and the new week.
