Some new stamps we have made for our fellow ETSY artists

We have had an interesting week here .


Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all you you and we hope you have fun doing things outside such as BBQ's and picnics.

A great idea for rubber stamps is to make a stamp to print up the napkins at any special event.

Printed napkins are expensive so this is a great alternative.

Our stamps are cushioned so you can even stamp on a paper cup around the curve with ease.

We recommend a 2x2 size for both the cups and the napkins so you can use one stamp for both.

Here is a listing for a 2x2 stamp.

Great new idea for putting your logo on homemade soaps and candles

This is a great idea if you make your own soaps or candles to add your logo to your pieces.


Simple and easy -

Glue rubber stamp unmounted on the bottom of your mold.

spray a release on it as you would normally do.

Pour your mold and pop out the candle or soap.

This way you don't have to mess with stickers and things that may ruin your piece and you still have your logo and customers are able to identify your art.


Here are some great new logos we made for our favorite customers this week:

Rubber stamp ideas for May 09

The Many Uses Of Rubber StampsBy Susan Jan


Rubber stamps have become widely popular over the last few years. Previously, rubber stamps were used for business purposes only, but people today now use rubber stamps extensively for craft projects. Nowadays, rubber-stamping has become a fantastic hobby where an individual can create all sorts of designs by using rubber stamps. For this hobby, obviously rubber stamps carved with different designs on the rubber is essential, as well as ink pad that is used to transfer the designs from these rubber stamps onto a medium like pieces of cloth, paper, or card.
Decorative rubber stamps, also called art stamps, are used extensively in homemade craft projects. Decorative art stamps leave a lasting image on the page and create wonderful paint designs on a wide range of surfaces. Art stamps can be used to decorate scrapbooks or to add color and variety to photo albums. Art stamps are also used on letters, greetings cards, birthday and Christmas cards, banners and flyers to give a personalized touch. Art stamps can also be used to decorate notebooks, stationery and holiday wrapping paper. Either one stamp design, or two or more complementary designs can be used at a time to embellish a single paper.
Art rubber stamps can be painted with fabric paint to create a decorative border design on a piece of fabric or an existing garment. The paint used should blend nicely with the fabric to give a personal touch to items such as tablecloths and napkins. Since rubber stamps can also be used on hard surfaces like wood or metal, hard items such as trunks, jewelry boxes and picture frames can also be decorated with rubber stamps. The paints used to decorate these hard surface items should be appropriate for the item's surface to get a good result. You can create elegant decorative borders, decorate a child's room, or design walls and ceilings with rubber stamps.



We designed some really cool rubber stamps this week.
