Rubber Stamping Want to see what you
can create with rubber stamps? Not sure where to start? Here you
will find ideas, examples, tips, and supplies for using, creating, taking care
of, storing, and products for rubber stamping. Here is an example of using rubber stamps in scrapbooking:
Here, we used an antique clock rubber stamp to make an otherwise plain cardstock "pop". We also added alphabet rubber stamps to say "timeless". Using alphabet stamps is a great way to say what you want when you don't like your own handwriting. Here is another example of using
alphabet letters for titles, captions, etc... There are a few different
kinds of alphabet
stamps. There are the individual wooden rubber stamps, foam stamps, and the clear
stamps.  Image Tree Alphabet Stamps - Brush Letters Lower Case - $ 9.00 From: Scrapbook.com 2.) Foam Stamps usually come in a storage case and will need to be separated. You may use the regular stamp pads or paints made for use with foam stamps. Examples coming soon.  Making Memories Foam Stamps - Gabby Alphabet - $ 9.00 From: Scrapbook.com  Making Memories Scrapbook Paint Colors Kit - Harvest - $ 12.00 From: Scrapbook.com
"Keys to Our Hearts" We used paisley foam stamps from Making Memories to add to this layout. You can use paints or ink pads. We used a vintage brown ink pad for this layout. We also added paisley under the photo. Notice that stamp doesn't look perfect. That is the look that we were going for. When using the paints, you can get an even smudgy-er look.

 Technique Tuesday Clear Stamps - Williamsburg Capital Letters - Large - $ 24.00 From: Scrapbook.com You will need a clear block:  Technique Tuesday Clear Blocks - 3 x 6 - $ 19.00 From: Scrapbook.com Usually clear stamps (Technique Tuesday does) come on a storage sheet and are easily removed to use. Once removed, they are mounted on the clear block to spell the word that you want to stamp. Using clear stamps and the clear block is clearly a great way to make sure that the letters in the words that you want to use are positioned correctly. For more information and examples on using clear rubber stamps and clear blocks, check with the experts at Technique Tuesday.
Caring for your rubber stamps: It is wise to be in the habit of cleaning
your stamps after every use, and here is what you use:  Technique Tuesday Clear Stamp Cleaner - 2 oz. - $ 5.00 From: Scrapbook.com You could also use just plain water or baby wipes.
Just try not to get the wood part of the stamp wet. Blot with paper towel
to dry.
