And although I have been stamping for years, the novelty is far from wearing off. I love stamps for their versatility, and it\u2019s safe for me to say that there is almost nothing you can\u2019t do with a stamp.<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Love Love Love Layout\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/love-love-love-layout.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Love Love Love Layout\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/love-love-love-layout.jpg\" alt=\"Love Love Love Layout\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Love, Love, Love Layout<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To include stamping into my layouts I use the stamps as a tool to add interesting elements to my layouts. Stamping and other embellishments should have a purpose, a meaning and not just randomly added because there is an empty space that needs filling. Select your stamps carefully to add texture, colour, pattern and decoration to your projects. Knowing your stamps and the additional tools to use with it is ninety percent of your success. If you use the wrong ink type to stamp on the wrong paper you will end up being disappointed and hate stamping. On the other hand if you use stamping effectively in your projects the more you will love and use it.<\/p>\n<p>On my layout I used a large background stamp from the BasicGrey Konnichiwa range. The lanterns are a generic design that can be used in a multitude of different ways and work with different themes. The background stamp is also amazing as a single element used on a quick card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Adding colour to stamped images<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Cut out Flower\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/cut-out-flower.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Cut out Flower\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/cut-out-flower.jpg\" alt=\"Cut out Flower\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>What you will need<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Background stamp<\/li>\n<li>White smooth cardstock<\/li>\n<li>White or Clear Zing embossing powder<\/li>\n<li>Large Acrylic Block<\/li>\n<li>Versamark Clear ink pad<\/li>\n<li>Varsamagic Dew Drop Ink pad<\/li>\n<li>Large paint brush<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Craft sheet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Step 1\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-1.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Step 1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-1.jpg\" alt=\"Step 1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Place the BasicGrey Washi Lantern background stamp onto a clear acrylic block by removing the white backing to reveal the cling side that will stick to the acrylic block. Ink the stamp using a Versamark ink pad. Stamp the image onto the cardstock, hold the cardstock down and carefully remove the stamp from the cardstock.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step2<\/h3>\n<p>Sprinkle the white Zing Embossing Powder over the entire stamped image. Make sure the entire image is covered in powder and shake off the excess. Use a small paint brush to remove any lost specks of powder sticking to areas where is should not be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step3<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Step 3\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-3.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Step 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-3.jpg\" alt=\"Step 3\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Heat the embossing powder until it turns shiny. Make sure that the entire image is heated and the powder melted. Set the embossed image aside and let it cool for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step4<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Step 4\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-4.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Step 4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-4.jpg\" alt=\"Step 4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Add colour to your image to reveal the embossed images. On a craft sheet add colour using VersaMagic Dew Drop ink pad in the colour of your choice. Lightly press the ink pad onto the craft sheet to transfer the colour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step5<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Step 5\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-5.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Step 5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/step-5.jpg\" alt=\"Step 5\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lightly spritz the ink with water. Pick up ink using a large paint brush and apply colour onto the embossed image. I added colour only around the edges leaving the centre white. Set aside to dry and then add it to your layout or card.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Embossing\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/embossing.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Embossing\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/embossing.jpg\" alt=\"Embossing\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>I hope you enjoy stamping on layouts as much as I do!<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Products used<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"AC Cardstock\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Quality-Cardstock\">AC Cardstock Black<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glitz Design\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbooking-Paper\">Glitz Happy Travels Planes HT3654 Floral background paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glitz Design\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Decorative-Stickers\">Glitz Happy Travels Cardstock Stickers Titles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glitz Design\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Craft-Embellishments\">Glitz Happy Travels Giant Rhinestones<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Teresa Collins\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Craft-Stamps\">Teresa Collins Fabrications Linen Clear Stamps<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Paper-Die-Cuts\">Basic Grey Die-cut Shapes kon-3650<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Craft-Stamps\">Basic Grey Washi Lantern Background Stamp CG435<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Decorative-Stickers\">Basic Grey Layered Stickers kon-3653<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Decorative-Stickers\">Basic Grey Stickers Konnichiwa kon-3642<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbooking-Paper\">Basic Grey Konnichiwa Pagoda patterned paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbooking-Paper\">Basic Grey Konnichiwa Jiko patterned paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbooking-Paper\">Basic Grey Konnichiwa Lucky Cricket patterned paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbooking-Paper\">Basic Grey Konnichiwa Friendly Greetings patterned paper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Decorative-Stickers\">Basic Grey Designer Chipboard stickers kon-3652<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"BasicGrey\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Craft-Embellishments\">Basic Grey Wooden Buttons kon-3645<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/General-Adhesives\">Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"VersaMagic\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Scrapbook-Inks\">Versamagic Dew Drop Aegean Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Glue Dots\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/General-Adhesives\">Glue Dots Pop Up<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Zing Embossing Powder\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Embossing-Powder\">Zing Embossing Powder<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Sticker Detail\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/sticker-detail.jpg\" rel=\"media\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery_full\" title=\"Sticker Detail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/sticker-detail.jpg\" alt=\"Sticker Detail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-85 size-thumbnail alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-182x182.jpg\" alt=\"Jowilna Nolte\" width=\"182\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-182x182.jpg 182w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-83x83.jpg 83w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Post by The Wholesaler\u2019s Designer Jowilna Nolte.<\/h5>\n<h5>We are very proud to introduce you to our first designer, Jowilna Nolte.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey. I am truly blessed with a gift from God!\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/jowilna.nolte\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/author\/jowilna\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Stamping on Layouts","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/stamping-on-layouts\/","og_locale":"en_GB","og_type":"article","og_title":"Stamping on Layouts","og_description":"The versatility of stamps and their popularity has grown at a phenomenal speed in the last couple of years.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey. I am truly blessed with a gift from God!","sameAs":["http:\/\/facebook.com\/jowilna.nolte"],"url":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/author\/jowilna\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/237"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729"}],"version-history":[{"count":46,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13630,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729\/revisions\/13630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
