Rubber Stamping Projects

  ​Say something unique and special to someone with this handmade card featuring our Manual Typewriter Rubber Stamp . Create a roll with the words you want to convey and here is how to create it. Along the top and bottom of this A2 card is our  ​Cherry Blossoms Rubber Stamp .  I stamped the Cherry Blossoms  after  I die cut an oval in the center of a mat for the 4.25 x 5.5 card. This is because I embossed the oval center with another embossing folder featuring text. I embossed the mat with a floral pattern folder and then colored in the flowers with various pink hues. For the special note part, I cut 24lb office paper at 1 1/4" wide to fit in the typewriter. Using a clear stamp text set from Michaels, I selected my words for the message. Burnish the edges of your rolled message to match the typewriter's design. Roll the paper onto a pencil or bamboo stick. Glue into place!

The technique I followed shown by  ​The Paper Outpost on YouTube . Pam's videos are easy to watch and very informative. The great part about making my own journal was that I could use various paper types and sizes. I created tabs out of rolodex pages. I also ended up using a bunch of stuff from my accessories tote that I wasn't going to use on handmade cards. And I got to create stickers, I will show you how below. This journey made me realize how great it is to have supplies that you use over and over like, rubber stamps, metal cutting dies and embossing folders to create stickers, flowers, many types of embellishments. Additionally, decorating the pages is freeing since you don't have to worry about making mistakes. The sole purpose is the be creative...you can't beat that! Only section 1 ...
