Mint Stamp Machine by Silhouette

 Come and make a stamp with me!

I haven't used my stamp making machine in quite some time.  My husband is a Special Ed teacher and he asked me today if Amazon sold custom stamps and I laughed and said, your wife does! He couldn't believe that I could make stamps!  haha so I designed a stamp for him to use for his teacher passes etc.

The supply list is really all Silhouette branded items as for the stamp maker I feel theirs come out best.  I have seen others use reinkers from your current collection and they work.

Supplies

  • Silhouette Mint Machine
  • Silhouette Mint stamp kit, I chose the 15x60 mm set
  • Silhouette reinkers
I designed the stamp in the Mint software that comes with the machine.


We have beetles so he wanted a beetle on his stamp.

You simply feed the stamp blank into the machine and the machine accepts it and makes your stamp in seconds.

You adhere the stamp blank on the block it comes with.  Then you want to put ink onto the pad directly on the image and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Stamp it about 20 times till the excess is removed and you have a brand new custom stamp.

After about 50 stamps you will need to re ink it, let it site ans stamp off the excess again.  Also keep the lid on to keep it wet.  I really like being able to make stamps as I need them.  

If you have any questions please write me a comment!

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

  Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester.  The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate.   For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have.  I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work.  It didn't.   Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic.  Mix them together into a jar (I used a maso...

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinder's with me!

  Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinders with me! A few months ago I went to a 2 day event that was sponsored by Spellbinders and it was so much fun.  We got a ton of spellbinders dies and toured the offices and warehouse.  We did a couple make and takes at the office and one was with the Betterpress system.  I fell in love with the crispness of the press and how beautiful the cards turned out.  Its rally hard to see unless its in person but the image is pressed into the cotton paper making it look like a professional print. The better press works with a lot of different machines including the BigShot, Vagabond, Sizzix Switch, and Spellbinders Platinum.  It really just needs to fit the Betterpress through without an issue.  I would imagine if you can fit an old steel rule die, you can fit the Betterpress inside the machine. I am involved in a monthly card swap and decided to use my Betterpress for them. You first put your metal press plate on the...
