| 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.

Thanks for the
cards!
First of all, thanks so
much to Gine, Shauna and Syd for sending us the adorable Baby Congrats
cards. I will be creating a category for them in the gallery soon and
posting them. When I do, the link will be provided in the newsletter for
all to see. It's so nice to get something in the mail that isn't a bill,
don't you think?
New Items Coming Soon
We have some really
fun new things on the horizon. These images should be ready in about 4
weeks (if I could get jammin, then sooner, but I'm afraid to commit to
anything aggresive at this point). We will be releasing a fantastic retro
alphabet set, a very fun girly alphabet set, and an entire "Hippy" set
that consists of a funny Hippy dude, 8-10 hats, 8-10 sayings, and possibly
even a few matching background stamps. Think "Hippy Birthday", "Hippy
Holidays", "Hippy Easter" and I think you'll get the idea. To see more of
what we will be coming out with, be sure to visit our new
BLOGOLA
and for a sneak peak. Here is a glimpse of the girly alphabet set that will be
coming out soon!:

scratch off. They are thick, and have a resealable adhesive strip. They are
crystal clear poly (plastic) envelopes, which are translucent so your cards will

Handmade Card
Enclosed Rubber Stamp
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 Rubber Stamp
(Mounted): $5.75
Unmounted also available for $2.88
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.

Card of the
Week (from our Christmas Card Gallery)
I like to refer to this card as the "Fractal Santa" (for those of you who are
physics buffs, you'll get the reference). To make this fun card I simply stamped
the Santa around in a circle by eye, using the poof ball on top of his hat for
general guidance. I used Pigment based black ink. I then dusted all of the
Santas with clear embossing powder and sealed with my heat gun. Next, I colored
the Santas in with markers. I used my paper cutter to cut the Santas out in a
rectangle shape leaving room for a layering paper underneath (complimentary
color). I glue gunned some white pompoms onto the Santa Hat poof-balls (top of
hat) for a 3D effect. You can also glue gun googly-eyes if you are into really
making a funny card! I attached the background layer and the Santa layer to the
card I was making. Next, stamp Merry Christmas in Metallic Gold Ink, and you are
done! Total time - about 10-15 minutes.
As always, we appreciate your support and feedback.
Thanks for your interest! Have a great week!
