Ribbon Storage

Since manufactured ribbon storage can cost around $40, I thought you might like to hear about my cheap storage alternative. I made my own ribbon storage boxes using shoeboxes covered in leather look contact paper.
I punched holes for two dowels in each box and then punched 10 holes in each of the long sides […]

Making a Handcrafted Ornament with Rubber Stamps

Rubber stamps can be used so many ways during the holiday season. Making handcrafted ornaments with rubber stamps is so fun and easy that you can decorate a whole tree with them. Here’s a moon ornament I made using the Peace on Earth rubberstamp from A Country Welcome, a piece of cardboard and some exotic […]

I was wasting time surfing the internet because I don’t feel like editing articles for Cecil Child. It turned out to be kind of profitable since I came across this online label generator.

Stamping with Children - Potato Prints Revisited

Sometimes, dusting off the oldest techniques can be a ton of fun, especially when the people you’re working with never used them. Kids really enjoy making potato prints and adults don’t have to worry about damage to their stamps.
I’m sure you remember the drill - cut a potato in half and carve away anything […]

How Has Stamping Changed Your Life?

Although that little boy received hundreds of cards from all over the world, he didn’t receive them from children his age. Getting the imperfect cards […]

I filled a basket with mounted stamps of animals, […]
