Art Neko Rubber Stamp Sale

Art Neko is having a sale on some lovely Asian and Southwest themed stamps as they clear out stamp lines from other rubber stamping companies. I particularly like this line of Japanese calligraphy characters by My Heart Stamps For You.

Sizzix Angel Policy

I’ve been talking about die cuts for my crafts lately, but one of my readers wanted to know if die cuts could be used to make items for resale. If you are making projects to sell, Sizzix does allow die cut crafts to be sold on a limited local basis. Selling their die cuts online […]

Technique Tuesday - Smooshed UMs

I was playing around with my ums and realized they were thin enough to go through the pasta machine. Would they emboss a design in paper? I had to find out. I took my frog rubber stamp and rolled it through with a sheet of paper. As you can see, the result is a slightly […]

Learn Something New Challenge Charm

Here’s another charm I made using shrink plastic. I stamped a rose from Rubber Stampede on the plastic three times and then rubbed a yellow ink pad over it. Even though the images were stamped with permanent ink, there was a bit of smearing. Next time, I think I will do the ink pad first. […]

Cavallini and Co

I just got the Spring issue of Adorn magazine today. It looks like it was well read before it got here, so I think my postal workers liked it as much as I did! As I was flipping through the magazine, I came across the cutest little stamps on their “We just love…” page. They […]

Another ATC using Packing Tape

I really love this technique for making rubber stamped images that just seem to float on the background. This simple flower is a foam wall stamp. I inked it, pressed the packing tape on top of it and layered it on to the background.

Technique Tuesday - Making ATCs from Trash

I could have used good cardstock for this ATC’s background and I could have used a piece of watercolor paper for the base, but there’s nothing trashy about that. Instead, I grabbed a piece of cardboard, cut it into ATC sized blanks and started fooling around with a single rubber stamp. I stamped ALAS by […]

An Update on Embroidering with Rubber Stamps

Well, embroidering rubber stamped images seems to be working just fine. Obviously, you will need to pick an image with simple outlines, like this bunny pulling an egg on wheels. (By the way, this is an image I had made from an antique postcard I own, but I’ve seen similar ones on rubber stamp company […]

Remember My Learn Something New Challenge?

Well, I’ve been experimenting with shrink plastic and stamps and now I’m ready to start sharing results. First, I’ve got to say that die cut machines are the best invention ever! It is so easy to use the machine to cut stars, tags, circles, etc out of shrink plastic. They shrink down to the perfect […]
