Rubber Stamping Projects

  We have a new download available to practice hand lettering in the style of "Sailor Jerry" which has an artsy, California, tattoo vibe. Hand lettering is a wonderful way to draw letters and do something artistic with minimal supplies. All you need is paper, pencil and a marker. Add a rubber stamp to embellish your creation.  This is a modified version of the common tattoo font that I created and am sharing it with you. Practice your hand lettering on handmade cards, scrapbook and journal pages. This is a 2-page pdf download with grids squares.  Tip: Cut the pages in half to fit a mini clipboard if you wish.

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
