| What are art rubber stamps and what is rubber stamping? |
| |
|
Rubber stamps come in several flavors, business rubber stamps (for return addresses, labels,
dates, etc) music chord stamps (for diagramming chords) and art rubber stamps for making art.
Rubber stamp art can be made with paper cards, envelopes, scrapbooks, journals and similar media.
Rubber stamping is an art form. As a painter uses brushes and paints, a rubber stamp artist uses
art rubber stamps, ink, embellishments and other items for their chosen media. These tools are their
means for creative expression.
We invite you to explore our online art rubber stamp store and rubber stamp art gallery pages and hope you will
find creative ideas and inspiration here.

Joyce Chen
Scissors
We have some really cool new items here at Stampola this month that every
rubber stamper and scrapbooker can't be without. One of the new items that we
now carry is "The Original, Unlimited," Joyce Chen Scissors. These scissors have
patented flexible handles, tapered points that cut right to the tip, are
unbelievably tough . They are the best scissors you'll ever own and the last
ones you will ever have to buy because they have a lifetime warrenty! I love to
use these scissors to cut rubber when I assemble rubber stamps, cut thin metal
when I scrapbook,they cut paper, cat claws, and you can even use them when you
cut roses in the garden. These scissors have finely honed blades of chrome
molybdenum stainless steel with rust- resistant, no stain finish.One last thing
about these scissors. My husband is left handed and I am right handed and these
have comfortable and flexible handles for right or left hand use. Way to go!!
Guess what my husband is going to get for Christmas? (I can always borrow them.)
In my opinion, these are the BEST scissors I have found for hand trimming
unmounted rubber and unmounted rubber on cushion. They are sharp, light, easy on
the hands and unbelievably tough!
In addition to trimming rubber, these scissors are touted as the perfect
kitchen tool. Use them to debone chicken, cut up lobster shells, bones,
shrubbery, plastic, thin metal, fabric, paper, almost anything!
These are comparable to KAI Rubber Scissors (I think they are better!)
Joyce Chen Unlimited Scissors:

Authentic
Antique Type Trays
An absolutely authentic (real, not a reproduction!) antique type tray that
is fantastic for hanging on the wall and displaying little curios (especially
that rubber stamp collection you have been acquiring!). We have a limited
quantity of these on hand, so order now while supplies last. We will NOT be
getting any more in once these are gone.
GREAT IDEA FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOURSELF FROM YOU! **GRIN**
Each one is a bit different in it's scuffiness, but we will not send you one
with a crack or obvious defect. Be aware however that there is paint chipping,
scratches and just general wear. These are antiques! Part of the charm is the
fact that they are NOT brand new and perfect.
STAMPS NOT INCLUDED
Authentic Antique Type Trays:
$34.99
Note: Shipping is still $3.85 with
these for the whole order!

Merry
Christmas Rubber Stamp
I LOVE this font and plan on using this in my Christmas cards this year. I
made the stamp large enough that it can be a saying inside a card all it's own,
or can be used separately as a background design.

$5.75
Unmounted also available for $2.88
Foil -
Aluminum or Brass Sheets
Six 4" X 6" sheets of 36 Gauge Aluminum Foil. 36 gauge is very thin and you
can easily cut it with ordinary scissors. Perfect for embellishing cards,
scrapbook pages, etc.

kit:

Handmade Card
Enclosed Rubber Stamp
Perfect for Envelopes...let them know you made it yourself!
This stamp is made using the Stampola font (which obviously I am partial to).
It is something that I use almost any time I send someone a handmade card. Warn
them before they go tearing into it or worse yet, throw it away thinking it was
store bought! (I know you make cards that pretty, don't you???)
Handmade Card Enclosed Mounted Rubber
Stamp: $5.75 Unmounted also available for $2.88
As always, we appreciate your support and feedback.
