I thought we needed a game thread ... and I'm always looking for techniques to add to my Christmas All Year challenge ... so
Can we start an alphabetical list of stamping techniques?
List the next letter, then your technique. Keep it going. If we reach "Z" start again with "A" and try not to repeat techniques!
-
I will get us started ...
A . Acetate - stamp on acetate, can also do acetate smooshing and smoosh the back of the acetate in paint to color it.
-
B - Bargello! I love the way it looks but I don’t have too much luck doing it!
-
C = Casting... ??? Pressing stamps into various media (hot glue, paper pulp, melted wax crayon, poly clay, etc.) to create intaglio designs of images. O0
-
I haven’t done casting in a long time! Remember when we did it with the toilet paper?
D - Distressing (in its many formats!)
-
E - embossing, wet and dry. I like embossing using different colors on a stamped image too.
April :smile:
-
F - faux postage. I bought a stamp and stencil to help with that ... I think I bought it after a demo from Just For Fun, at a Stamp Fest.
Casting Remember when we did it with the toilet paper?
Yep! ;D And that's exactly what I thought of when Daniel mentioned it. I think it was a challenge of his.

I think it was Craft Nerd. Did you use your faux postage stamp n stencil? I have one and really like it.
G - Generation Stamping
-
H = Heat Gun
A great basic tool right up there with glue gun!
Yeah. probably wasn't me for the TP casting. I almost always cast with paper pulp that is denser than TP. Lord! Between the fest @ 2 Peas & here, we have definitely covered territory. So glad several of us here have made the journey together, You are all the best!!! :smitten:
-
I - Inlay technique . Jennifer McGuire has a video with diecuts, I'm sure there are others.
Oops, sorry I associated you with the TP Daniel!
Heidi, I haven't used my faux postage stamp and stencil in a long, long time ... I need to get it out again. That would be a good future challenge. Another oldie but goodie.
Yes Daniel, we do have some history together from 2peas to ArtsyInkers! It has been a fun journey!
-
I’m stuck on J. Can’t think of anything!
-
I have a J -- Joseph's Coat. It is an oldie but goodie. It can be done by sponging on various colors, stamping and embossing with clear ep, then sponging over the whole piece with black or dark ink. Sort of what we did for Connie's challenge. Or you can use patterned paper under it all.

Fantastic, April! Can’t believe I forgot that, even when I was thinking the other day how similar Connie’s challenge is to Joseph’s coat!
K - I’m going with Kraft Paper. For stamping on, coloring on with pencils to get a different look, etc.
-
L - Loofah (sponge) :idiot2:
Look in the cosmetic/bath departments for slices of this vegetable sponge. They make great stamps for pattern/texture on BGs & solid image stamps using the 'kiss' techniques.
You never know what will work for stamping... :laughhard:
-
M is for Masking!
-
N=No line watercolor
-
O = One sheet wonder! The no line coloring is so hard for me!
April :smile:
-
haha! I didn't realize we were on page 2, thought of no-line watercoloring, and Jan beat me to it! Ha! Glad to see you playing Jan!
Daniel, I love the "loofah" suggestion! Off to find a technique that starts with P, unless someone beats me to it, and that is fine too!
-
I beat you, Cindi! P = Polished Stone
April :smile:
-
P - poppin' pearls . I never really liked "poppin' pastels" but maybe I would like poppin' pearls, it seems to give a cleaner look. Stamp with Versamark or other embossing ink, tap on perfect pearls, brush or swiffer away excess pearls, mist with water.
April, you bum! ;D . I had two P words. Q ? You left me with Q? No problem ... I got it!
Q - Quilted masking. I'm not sure if that's what it's called, but that's what I'm calling it! Remember the challenge Daria had (I'm pretty sure it was Daria) where we sponged away from a mask, and kept moving the mask at a diagonal? Then turned 90 degrees and did the same. We got a quilted, puffy look with it.
-
I do remember that quilted look!
R - resist in it’s many forms. Embossed, crayon, etc.
-
I found my card (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pid=2754#top_display_media).
As it turns out, Daria called it Pillow top (another P, ugh!) . Anyway, it does look quilted doesn't it?
-
S - Slider cards. Where the image appears black and white, but when you slide it open, the colors are revealed ... I've been wanting to try it. I don't think I ever have, unless maybe at a stamp camp long, long ago. I even bought a kit to make it easier, and I still haven't done it!
-
T = tissue paper coloring.
Applying torn (another T) pieces of bleedable tissue/crepe paper to cardstock that is then misted with water so the colors bleed onto the CS. #>
-
U - Undo ... a product and a valuable technique when you've glued your card front to the card base upside down! or other glue mistakes.
-
yes, Cindi, I remember the pillow top technique and it looked like a quilt. Sorry to steal your P!
W = watercolor in its many forms too!
I am liking this game to remind me of fun techniques to try again!
April :smile:
-
X = X-acto blades!
-
Oops! We missed
V - vellum . always looks nice with a sentiment embossed on it.
and just so we're back on track ...
Y - is next ... good luck with that!
-
Y for yarn,or twine, oe ribbon all to tie on the card.
-
Z is for Z fold card, which is a fold I have not yet tried.
Back to A????? O0
-
Yes! We're back to A
A - A is for Artist Trading Cards, fun to stamp!
-
B is for background stamps, the large all over ones.
-
C is for color blocking.
-
D - doodling
-
E = Enamel dots
April
-
F = Foiling
-
G is for Gesso Resist
-
H = halo -- Stamp with solid stamp onto dark cs with white ink - When dry color over the white stamped image with colored pencils or chalk. The results will be a white "halo" around the colored image. http://stampwillydesigns.blogspot.com/2015/07/oldies-technique-13-colored-pencil.html I called this colored pencil shadow, but others call it halo.
