Rubber Stamping Projects

  ​ Journals are always a good idea, no matter what the size. There doesn't seem to be mini journals you can buy anywhere, so let's make one (or a few). In this project, we create a mini journal sized at 3 inches by 4 inches with 14 pages. Decorate with stamps, stickers, practice your hand lettering, whatever you like.  Alternately, make it a flip page (like a book) or accordion style just by alternating how you glue the pages together. And of course, you get to decorate the cover as you wish. I decided to cover this journal cover with die cut leaves. The theme of the journal is an "Ode to Trees." Every page on the right side has a tree that has been stamped. On the left page, is a glued or sticker item.  View some of our tree stamps, click here . Here is a link  ​to view our free, mini journal printable template  of the cover and inside pages including score lines. You can always just hole punch or sew your journal any way you wish, but this shows how to glue the pag

  Perfume bottle design is an art form. If you think of some of the big names out there, the creativity involved in designing the bottles ​is unreal. We have created a free printable download of four bottle shapes and labels for you to decorate with rubber stamps and cutout. It's just a fun paper project that will have you thinking, 'what would my perfume line be called?' Above is one of the bottles cut out and our  ​Blooming Sakura Rubber Stamp  is stamped in pink ink, trimmed out and placed in the corner. This project is great to use your pink hued markers. Gold embossing would also look excellent on these bottles. The free download, printable 8.5 x 11 inch page also includes some circle, octagon and rectangle shaped labels. So many of our stamps will work well with this project.

Dot-lined paper is a popular choice for journal pages, but it can also be stamped with a pretty design to practice hand lettering. The dots act like grid paper and are more attractive than school lined pages. We have created a free, printable download that is an 8.5 x 11 sheet of dotted paper perfect for making your personal journal pages or just placing onto a clipboard and practicing your drawing, doodling and handwriting skills. The dots are spaced 1/4" apart.  In the project below, I stamped our  Teacup Flowers Rubber Stamp  and placed it onto a mini clipboard. (This sized clipboard is perfect for use when lounging in your favorite chair and can be found at Walmart, Amazon or local office supply stores.) A good rubber stamp, like the one seen above,  Teacup Flowers Rubber Stamp , is fun to practice hand lettering around. It offers an arched area to curve your text.  In this project, we used a Lao Tzu quote, "The usefulness of the pot lies in its emptiness." Hint: Whe

  ​The color combination of black and white for a handmade card is timeless. Add an accent of red and you have a wonderfully fashionable card that works for any occasion Our ​ Apple Harvest Rubber Stamp  is fun and especially easy to color in using markers and/or watercolor pencils. Use a variety of red shades on the apples. For subtle coloring on the basket, I used watercolor pencils. The "You Are" and "So Sweet" are part of one set, called  ​You Are Rubber Stamp Set . The stamps (not pictured), "the best" and "awesome" also included in the set.
