 We have a new free, printable to download and decorate using our stamps. The Easter/Spring Printable is a one-page file that features an Easter basket, individual egg shapes, a "Hoppy Easter" Sentiment and a large egg to cutout and add patterns and color. The large single egg on the page is the perfect size to accommodate a background pattern such as Fleur de Lis Rubber Stamp . Some other patterns that would work would be Roses Background and Harlequin Script Rubber Stamp. For the Hoppy Spring Card, we use our Bunny Rabbit Rubber Stamp in various brown inks and place him onto the card. We use Halftone Gradient Rubber Stamp in bright green for a background behind the printed words. The Easter basket design will fit our Bunny Rabbit or Baby Chick Rubber Stamps along with the printed mini eggs.  Here we stamped our Halftone Gradient in various spring colors onto the cutout eggs and burnished the edges of each.

Adding Color to Your Stamp Images

Image
 There are several ways to add color to your stamped images. Here we showcase some of our newest releases and inspire you with different ways make them special. Many of the new releases now available are designed to add your favorite color. Each time you stamp these designs, you'll want to color it in differently.  Geisha in Kyoto Rubber Stamp is one that can be colored in so many ways. In this example, we gave her kimono a base of green because silk fabric looks beautiful in green. Pink blossoms on the garment contrast perfectly with the green background. The Japanese Waves Rubber Stamp is stamped in black for the mat. For the Squirrel Card, we use our new Squirrel with Nut Rubber Stamp and make a thank you card. Instead of using markers to color in the image, we just do a quick swatch of rose gold craft paint and add a bit of copper glitter paint.  The process is simple and yet has a modern look on a handmade card. Who doesn't love a cut pig surrounded by...

Lunar New Year with the Color Red

  Celebrations for Lunar New Year are currently underway and traditionally last for two weeks. The Lunar New Year, also referred to as the Spring Festival, includes Chinese New Year, Seollal in Korea and Tet in Vietnam along with others. We can celebrate in our craft rooms using the beautiful color red. In this project, we create with all red papers for the festivities. In the card above, there is a layer of wood veneer to represent this year's animal which happens to be the wood snake.  The snake matches up with the years of the people born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 and 2025. The snake, which has a better reputation in eastern cultures is associated with intelligence, resilience and love. In addition, the animal this year is about returning to one's natural state or true nature and letting go for growth. For the card, we embossed on the stamps from our  Summer Tiles Rubber Stamp Collection .  The design used is symmetrical and can be set square or ...

Melting Snowflakes and the Blues

Image
  Craft away any post-holiday blues with a snowflake themed paper project. I created this card with our  Snowflake Background   and Cocoa Girl Rubber Stamp. Hot cocoa and snowflakes melt away all sadness! I stamped Cocoa Girl Rubber Stamp in Stazon Midnight Blue ink along with one of the ticket stamps from  Vintage Holiday Tickets  (set of 4). Snowflake Background was stamped in the light blue shade Distress Oxide called Tumbled Glass. Decorative deckle scissors were used on the left and postage stamp decorative scissors for the edges of the ticket part. Burnish the edges with Distress Oxide in a dark blue shade (Chipped Sapphire). The textured "paper" from Temu provide an excellent snow falling look and add extra dimension. A die cut snowflake in blue paper and plastic silver glitter snowflake embellishment are the rest of the supplies.
