      hi I'm Lucy Kelly daughter of Lisa Niven

      Kelly owner of Beaducation.com and today I'm

      going to be teaching you stamping

      stamping is very fun and very easy and I

      love it so I'm just gonna be covering

      the basics but if you want to get more

      in depth I would go look at my mom's

      video but hers is kind of long kind of

      boring for me so I would just recommend

      that for more older kittens and so let's

      just get it started okay so I'm gonna be

      teaching you about all these confusing

      awesome things that you need for

      stamping so here are the stamps it's

      letters and shapes you really need them

      because this is how we make a letter on

      the blank and if we don't have these

      basically you can't do anything these

      are the hammers so this one I like the

      best because it's a lighter and it's

      smaller so I would recommend this one

      for kids this one most adults like like

      my mom so I would recommend this one for

      adults because it's like longer and

      heavier this is a bench book so you're

      gonna need it to hammer the stamps on a

      blank on and if you don't have it we'll

      make this big like crevice in it or you

      might not see the stamp well enough and

      this match down here this you don't

      exactly need but it makes it sound

      quieter so I'm going to use that and

      this is a blank you need it a lot

      because this is where you put all these

      stamping on this is my part this is my

      purchase blink you always want one of

      these so then you can stamp on it for

      practicing because if you have like

      you're just new or if you have a new

      design that you don't know you want to

      practice it to make sure it's right this

      is a hole puncher and you use

      to make a hole in your blank so then you

      can stick a jump ring through it which

      I'm going to be showing you how to put

      through later and then stick a chain

      through that and be done with your

      necklace or bracelet or whatever you

      want to do and these are the Pens that

      you're going to be using to to make

      color inside of your stamp and yeah and

      then these are the pliers to open and

      close the jump ring I'll show you how to

      be doing that later

      and there's the the blanks

      there's circles stars hearts whatever

      you can think of and then for the people

      like me that love mustaches its mustache

      made out of metal that you can stamp on

      like this necklace I have here and then

      this is a pro polished pad you'll be

      using it to there's more than one you

      you can be using it to rub off the

      excess sharpie on your plink and this is

      the tape you can use it to either hold

      down the blank if you're gonna stamp in

      you're afraid that you're gonna hit your

      fingers you're holding down the blank

      with your hand or to put it down so you

      can move the stamp down to make it line

      up and so let's get started with

      stamping

      so now it's time for the standing so we

      are going to practice step so basically

      throw the hammer you do not want to hold

      it up here because it's like too close

      you do not want to hold it down here

      because it won't have as big of well it

      will have like too much of a whack and

      it will be harder to bring it up so for

      the samurai we'll just hold it right in

      the middle and so for the stamps I just

      grabbed this random a so for this one of

      the sides of this kind will have a a

      otherwise some of them have like a

      groove in it some of them have a logo or

      something on one of the sides so then

      that's where you put your thumb that's

      the side that you put your thumb you'll

      want to put your thumb there or else

      I'll be upside down you want your thumb

      like kind of towards the bottom not

      really up here because then the hammer

      will go and just hit right there but

      like right there pretty much and what I

      like to hold it is like this with two

      fingers on the side one of them on that

      side but you can hold it any way you

      want you know three don't care and so

      yeah so then the design is what's sad is

      that they don't have any sort of logo or

      groove or anything so you have to find

      the bottom of the heart put your thumb

      where the bottom of the hardest or for

      these same thing pretty much well these

      might have a logo where you put it but

      usually they don't you do not want to

      hit it too hard because then it will

      like be really big in there you do not

      want to hit it too soft it's none of the

      sharpie with or will show up and so you

      want to give it like one two or three

      good whacks so like

      so I'm just gonna do it one more time to

      show you that I'm holding it perfectly

      straight all the parts of the letters of

      the letter is on the blank from the

      hammer I'm holding in the middle you do

      not want to go over scale to hit your

      hands you do not want to go over here or

      else nothing will happen you want to go

      right on top you do not want to be over

      here or over here you definitely do not

      want to hit it like that because it's

      just going to knock it out of your hand

      so like Oh perfectly straight hold the

      hammer so that's a pretty good eh okay

      so now we're going to be doing design

      stamps there are a little harder than

      letters cuz they have like designs on

      them so the harder of the design like

      more little details in it the harder it

      is to stamp so I would always choose

      like simple ones like this one's just a

      little flower this one's just a little

      star these are really good I started out

      with these I remember doing these

      because they're very small and very easy

      so when you stamp one if you put it down

      straight as usual you want to stamp a

      little bit harder because it's more of a

      design for the harder they are like the

      more designed to in them the harder you

      will hit the hammer on the stamp so if

      you don't get the little design I'm

      going to show you the tilts on top so

      what you want to do is get your thumb

      where the bottom of the design is put

      your thumb always towards you you always

      want that

      and so then you hit it a couple times on

      the middle and then you do like very

      slight turning

      see that worked and I got the full

      design you don't want to do too big of a

      turning or aisle to kind of make another

      shadow of the letter on the side so

      it'll be like three three hearts that

      I'm using right now instead of just one

      and you don't really want that it looks

      really horrible so I wouldn't do that if

      I were you okay so what we have going on

      here is this is our blank and this is

      our straight tape so these four dots are

      to show me where I should put my oh my

      oh my see and my Y and then we have it

      on our bench block on the pad so doesn't

      be too loud so I'm going to take the out

      and I'm gonna here I'm going to hold it

      like this so you can see and I'm going

      to put it down kind of where the purple

      dot is so then it's it kind of like gets

      stuck there does it get stuck there you

      can still move it out but I think if I

      go like that it won't come out which you

      want so then you can line them up so

      then I'll start with my L so that turned

      out kind of bad so this is the perfect

      time to show you what I would do so I

      would kind of move it around till I kind

      of feel it kind of click in to where it

      was so I think that's good but actually

      holding it wrong okay so you think

      that's good okay I think that's good now

      okay

      now coming in with the U and I'm just

      going to slide it down and then I'm

      gonna hit it

      so that you actually turned out pretty

      good so I'm just gonna leave that for

      the see now and pretty good and then the

      Y okay no you can't see it well but

      turned out pretty good you can see a

      little bit of it but yeah now it's time

      for the color I'm just going to take the

      tape off

      I'll just put it down here so if you can

      see that there's mine you can sort of

      see it so what I'm going to do is I'm

      going to take a sharpie I'm just going

      to take a purple one just for no reason

      and I am going to just kind of color

      over the letter just so it gets in every

      single groove you can also do it neatly

      where you just kind of do it straight

      over the letter like that like you can

      do it kind of neatly or this messy the

      messy ones more fun so I'm just going to

      color everywhere with the sharpie and

      then I'm going to take my handy Pro

      polish pad right here if you can see it

      I'm just gonna take it and just wipe on

      it see how it kind of gets it off you

      might need a wipe it for a while because

      it might be like excess everywhere and

      co-state it's staying in the grooves of

      the letter and see how that you you can

      barely see anything

      I messed up there by not having it -

      like it's not - it's not deep enough so

      then what I'm going to so I can't really

      do anything about that right now

      so that's why I want to hit it hard

      enough so then I'm just going to wipe

      this so that looks pretty good

      so now we're going to punch a hole into

      it so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to

      take this sharpie pick up my blank hold

      it and put a dot exactly where I want

      the hole you want to make it kind of

      close to the top but not too into the

      middle and not too up or else it will

      just get into the side so I'm going to

      put that right there and close my

      sharpie so I so what I'm gonna do this

      and so I would say to have this little

      thing right here be at the top of it

      where you want the top of it like the

      front side and so then I would

      take it put it on the purple dot and I'm

      just gonna squeeze as hard as I can for

      some people you're not for some people

      it's like too hard so I'll just let your

      parents do it and then you want to twist

      it off so here's my hole and it's pretty

      good okay so I punched my hole and I saw

      a little ink on it so I'm just gonna

      wipe it off with my pro polish pad gotta

      do it pretty hard and so now I'm going

      to teach you how to put a jump ring on

      it

      okay so here's how to open and close the

      jump ring I'm just going to use my

      fingers to act it out so basically like

      the jump ring it has a little line in

      between it so what you do is you use two

      chain noses to open it like this you

      want to go to the side like that not

      like this if you go like this literally

      it'll take you ten minutes to get it

      back so what you do is you open it like

      that

      you stick the blanket in it and then you

      kind of go like this because it's going

      like that will kind of split it apart so

      you go like this so you can get it

      together like that you're trying to get

      it like this as close as you can get to

      this and so basically you're you want

      two of these it doesn't really matter

      how different they look how far they

      open it doesn't really matter so you'll

      pick the jump ring up and you're just

      going to kind of grab it on the side

      with both and then you're just gonna

      split it open so I'm just going to stop

      right there to show you how to split

      open like this not open like that you

      don't want it like that so then you

      stick the blank inside

      like that just put that in there and

      then you grab the sides this might be

      kind of hard at first but it will get

      easier the more you do it so then you

      kind of just go like this you just kind

      of keep going like this till you get it

      closed and so now it's on a jump ring

      so here's the pendant that we just made

      and it's all finished I put a chain on

      it and it looks really good these are

      just some other ideas that you could do

      like you could do this mustache that I

      made that says be awesome with dots

      everywhere it's awesome there's a

      sluicey bracelet that I made that's

      awesome it's just one letter on each

      blank there's this one that my sister

      made for a friend there's this one that

      my sister also made that says find

      freedom in the music and then there's

      this one that I made where we just punch

      two gigantic holes and one that just

      says happy and then a camper and and you

      can just run a friendship bracelet

      through so this is a good idea so thank

      you for watching my video hopefully

      you'll make a lots of cool jewelry and

      come watch some of our other videos

      which are really awesome so Lucy outs
