This is a challenge I'm creating because I want to encourage myself to dig out my stamps! I pulled out some old scraptastic stamps yesterday to add waves to my layout and I need to do this more. So stamp on a layout or card or project life! Even roller stamps - but has to have some words, not just a date   Untitled by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

Love your two pages, kitbop, and those wave stamps really add to the story. Great way to encourage yourself to use your stamps by posting this challenge. I just packed up and hauled a whole whack of stamp sets to a crop, and used TWO of them! Two stamps! I need to either use em or lose em! |

Fantastic LO kitbop it's all so lush! Those sun clips are fab and are those Nuvo dots I see? I never use stamps either, but I've just bought 2 sets for some reason! One was to use on mixed media backgrounds but I haven't taken them out of the packet yet. I should make myself do this challenge! |

I have stamps but I am held back from using them due to a lack of ink colors. I have black and brown. I have a few other colors but I think they have dried out due to lack of use.
How many colors do you have?

That layout looks great.
Although I've slacked off recently, one tip I found to using stamps more is to challenge myself to stamp something on every layout (even if it's just a date stamp). It's not finished until it has something stamped on it...
Also stamping on cardstock and cutting out like a die cut (instead of stamping on the layout and possibly messing it up) helps too.

How many colors do you have? Good question, but I am not counting!!! I have a ton of colours from different manufacturers. But the colours I use most for stamping are navy, teal, and red. I also often stamp with VersaMark clear and then use embossing powders--mostly silver, gold, and copper. I started out with Close to My Heart, then collected a bunch of Tim Holtz distress inks. I now usually grab my TH Distress Oxides for stamping or creating backgrounds. I like my CTMH black and chocolate mini's for inking edges. And I have played with Momento Dew Drops quite a bit lately: I love how juicy they are. |

I claimed 11 points for stamping on my Christmas cards from the weekend. Pix and explanations for points are on page 2 of June Team Challenge.

Oooh! I just realized that I met this challenge! I used the “Eat.Craft.Sleep.Repeat” stamp from the Echo Park, I’d rather be Crafting set. I made a border with it!  |

How many colors do you have? um - more than my stamping habits should support? I mean, I'm not embarrased by it - but I'd say at least 50 colours? highkeycrafting - that looks amazing! I love the border stamping, will try that myself. DawnMcD - love the 2 pager with the blue background and starts - love the pop factor. And love the whimsical feel of "so fancy" - it feels light and fun! |

I stamped on my Fathers' Day card shared in the Dedicated to Dad thread. I really need to remember my arsenal of stamps when crafting. I tend to think stickers first, but if I don't have stickers that work I then tend to go to diecutting. But I stamped quite a bit on the Christmas cards I created at the crop and now on this card, so maybe I am starting to "Think stamp" LOL.

I pulled out stamps to add to these grad cards - my dd is in dance, so as the older kids graduate from school (and the studio therefore!) we have big parties. I got the card idea from pinterest, watercoloured it myself as I didn't have the stamp set to make the dancer (and I'm QUITE proud of myself! I'm no artist!). Added a square of black cardstock, a roll of paper as the diploma, and a home made "tassle". Did my own "brush lettering" (it's not great, but at least it's personalized!) under the stamp.

Loving your sunshiny pages, craftykitten! I have lots of letter stamps, but don't have the patience to line them all up and stamp words, let alone titles! Good job! These two pages qualify for a ton of challenges, but I am sharing them here b/c I don't use stamps that much on my pages--and not nearly as often as I thought I would on my cards, either. So I made appoint of stamping for these pages even before I organized the rest of the things I needed to create them. I used CTMH phrase and image stamps, and then a pair of Simon Says stamps for the basketballs.  Hoops in the Sunshine by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  hoops in the sunshine 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I am going to share them both again with a complete list of the challenges they meet in the June Team Challenge thread, and then just pop into the other challenges to mention that I have claimed points for them. |

The results you got with the colour bursts is amazing, justjac! And splitting them up into the mosaic pattern gives a really cool effect. |

I used fireworks stamps here to fill in the upper right corner where I needed something but not too overwhelming. I stamped first in red, then over it in a gold liquid ink (I "painted" it onto my stamp) and in person it looks pretty cool!  canada day 2017 by kirstendrew, on Flickr |

I was determined to do some stamping on a LO and I'd bought these stamps a little while ago and MADE myself stamp! I haven't stamped for ages, I was never really a big fan of it but I did it! I created the background myself with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals, a Dina Wakley squares Stencil and modelling paste.  I am claiming 16 points for this one. 1 for doing it, 1 for posting a pic and then 14 challenges. Colour It, Stencils/Mask, Stamping, Think Small 6x6 Paper, Scraps (they were all scraps of 6x6 papers), Hoarding cause the 6x6 Pad I've had for ages! Word Up for my title, Pop A Wheelie cause there's 2 flair badges, Construction cause there's wood & metal on there, Naked cause there's naked wood veneer, Random Icons for the cacti - those are definitely random around where I live! Sequins, Nuvos and the Ketchup - Pink from May. |
