  1. Yes I love to stamp on my pages, in fact I recently joined the design team at the Scrap & Stamp Saturday Blog.
    Spectacular Technique, thanks for sharing.

  2. MariClaudi says:

    OF COURSE! Stamping on my scrap pages is one of my fav techniques.

  3. Heather Beasley says:

    This is so gorgeous. Yes, I stamp all the time on my layouts.

  4. Tara C says:

    Love the page and inspiration!!!

  5. Shirley K says:

    I tend to use my alphabet stamps a lot for stamping titles on my pages, as well as background stamps.

  6. Jenny McGee says:

    I love stamping in my scrapbooking. I have been doing this since I started making cards and then realized I could incorporate into my scrapbooking too.

  7. Jenn B. says:

    I love to add stamps to scrapbooking pages – most recently I added an elephant and a giraffe popped out to the bottom of a layout. Colour ‘em up with prismas and done!

  8. Kate Anne says:

    That is an awesome technique!! Thanks for the tutorial, Jen. I have been stamping sentiments and such on my pages, but nothing so elaborate!!

  9. Susan DR says:

    I have just recently started stamping on my scrapbook pages, and I love it! Thanks to Jennifer for all the inspiration, and for teaching so many cool techniques.

  10. Becky K. says:

    I’ve only made one scrapbook, and didn’t stamp on it, but definitely will when I make one again! I love cardmaking, and I don’t think I could give up all those fun techniques for scrapbooking (so I’m glad I don’t have to)!

  11. JLBOhio says:

    Beautiful page!!! Yes, I do stamp on my scrapbook pages…more and more all the time!

  12. Karen C. says:

    I LOVE that technique and I will have to give it a try soon. I have stamped on scrapbook pages before, but find it a little difficult (more than doing cards).

  13. Mary Schmidt says:

    Yes! I stamp on Layouts. It is a fun way to deck out a LO or cards. Stamping is how I started this whole papercrafting hobby. I would love to win this package. I love those stamps. Great technique! I think I need to get a stamp press. ENABLING! LOL!

  14. Bonnie Rabon says:

    I love stamping on my scrapbook pages. Not only does it make the pages personal, but sometimes you just can’t find background papers that match what you want to achieve.

  15. Laura says:

    Gorgeous layout! I love this technique. I love when I work stamping onto my layouts, and not just on cards.

  16. JayKaye says:

    I often use stamps on my layouts – especially swirls and flowers. Thanks for the cool video!

  17. Loydene says:

    Love that technique — love Distress Ink — love those Hero Arts stamps — Love the end product!!
    Thank you!

  18. Heidi says:

    Yes i used stamping on a scapbook page, its fun to do,and gives a bit of extra demension.

  19. Cathy Moses says:

    Hi, I have not yet tried stamping on my scrapbooking, but I am a newbie. Would so love to win a prize!

  20. DeniseB says:

    What a gorgeous layout! Love the colors.
    I have done a bit of stamping in conjunction with scrapbooking. Very fun!
    Thanks for a chance at a terrific prize!

  21. loriann says:

    What a beautiful blend of colors. I have not tried stamping on my scrapbooking pages as of yet. To win one of those great cling stamps could certainly get my mojo hoping to make some backgrounds for my pages not to mention I can envision some pretty cards too…

  22. Liana says:

    I have never used stamping on scrapbook pages but as i grow my stamp collection I will certainly try!

  23. pam bray says:

    I am totally captivated withe the use of stamps on scrapbook pages. Thanks for the giveaway

  24. calvejo says:

    don’t scrapbook, but I do make cards and I definitely stamp on those

  25. Caroline says:

    Jennifer – you always inspire me! Love the LO, the colors are beautiful and vibrant. I have only stamped a few times on my pages. I’ve only really just begun this fascinating hobby! I do plan on stamping more espsecially making my own embellishments and tags! I love the look of the distress inks on tags and think it’ll be great incorporated into my scrapbook pages.

  26. Natalie says:

    Yes, I stamp on my pages quite frequently. Many times I will use a flourish to make a background pattern, and I stamp journaling blocks, etc.

  27. Cinthia says:

    I have only stamped a background on a page once. But I’m really looking forward to try your technique.

  28. Rebecca says:

    I have not stamped on scrapbook pages, but will have to try this. I am more of a card maker, which I use stamps on. Thanks for the chance to win.
    Rebecca:)

  29. Deb Neerman says:

    What a fabulous layout! And I haven’t ever used stamps on a scrapbook page but I’m gonna now!

    Thanks for a great tutorial … and a chance to win!

  30. Victoria S. says:

    Yes and that is how i got into stampin in the 1st place – every stamp i buy goes thru the grid of can it be used on a page… but i was afraid to start stamping- was afraid i’d mess up the page… but now now i just go for it and i love to make cards too they are a much quicker accomplishment.

  31. Diane says:

    I stamp all of the time on my scrapbook pages; in fact, I do that more than card making these days. Thanks for sharing the great inspiration and the give away!

  32. Good grief, that’s gorgeous!! I just love Jen’s technique videos. Thanks for the inspiration! Yes, I do stamp on layouts, but not as much as cards. I’m getting braver and trying it more often.

  33. Erica Reed says:

    Haven’t yet, but will be making one very soon, just haven’t found the time!

  34. Tiffany E. says:

    I love the page you created. It’s lovely! I have stamped on my scrapbook pages, but I like stamping on cards more. Since I’m mostly a scrapbooker, I don’t stamp much, even though I think stamping looks awesome.

  35. haejin says:

    What lovely colors~ :)

    Yes, I’ve tried stamping on my scrapbook pages.. but not very often. I have a hard time covering the full page (or figuring out how to cover the full page). :)

  36. Becky says:

    Yes, I just started using stamping in my layouts after watching your Thinking Inking classes.

  37. Alex R says:

    Yes, I have stamped on my pages! I love it, as you can come of with some really different looks for a fraction of the cost of different papers! Thanks for another great tip and video :)

  38. Kim M says:

    I have tried it some for titles but I am not very much of a daredevil and haven’t went any further than that. I use my stampin more for cards.

  39. conniemelancon says:

    I have stamped some on LO’s. Mostly titles.

  40. Samantha T. says:

    I occasionally stamp on my pages…I really should do it more often.

  41. marilyn2222 says:

    I don’t really scrapbook, but I have a few pages that are stamped. Would love to win the stuff to make this page.

  42. Christy J says:

    I stamp mostly titles on my scrapbook pages, but I love the technique you demonstrated here!

  43. Sue A says:

    I use my stamps for all my paper crafts including scrapbooking. I do a lot of hybrid scrapping and stamping is perfect for this to add that extra “something”. I really must get some watercolor paper to try this technique. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos.

  44. Fiona S says:

    Have tried a little stamping on scrapbooking. Mostly a cardmaker though. Love the technique you showed – thanks for the idea.
