Crafty Hack: Mask Stamps for Complex Scenes

February 19, 2021 by Sandy Allnock 8 Comments [featured_image}

Hey there, new stampers! Or new”er” stampers. I’m guessing if you clicked on this post, you’re one who’d like some tips to make stamping complex scenes easier, right? Well let’s hope I can get you to try some scenes with lots of stamps!

Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.

Over on MFT’s channel you’ll see the coloring – but let’s get right to the stamping here first, ok?

Setting up a card using the little masked pieces is super helpful – you can move them around like little paper dolls, until you’re happy with them! The Eclipse tape is a really easy way to accomplish it. After you use the masks, don’t toss them – tuck them into your stamp storage! (I use the Ellen Hutson envelopes – they come in Large , Medium , Small , and X-Small.)

More help…

I mentioned you might want to see what different pen widths look like – I’d recommend for thicker lined stamps, a .5 would be most helpful, for thinner ones maybe a .3…..but as you see I bought a full set so I could play with a lot more widths! Click to see the video.

    TOO CUTE! I thought I wanted those birthday mice, but now I NEED them! I’ll never get them to look as nice as yours, but I am going to try! Thank you for explaining the difference in the Copic numbers. I usually just copy what you use, but now I’m starting to understand as well. Great info!

    Great tutorial on masking – and I do lots more since I’ve watched you do it many times. It just takes a little while for the mind to “see” the proper order of things! I’ll go over to MFT and watch you color these guys, and find the stamp set too… Cute little guys with lots of character. Thanks for all you do!
