Rubber Stamping Projects

We take ordinary wooden clothespins and with a few rubber stamps, we turn them into a beautiful works of art. This project is part of the "Decorate your Life with Deep Red Stamps" Series. You have probably seen desktop or wall picture frames that feature a clip so you can place your favorite photo in them easily. In this project we will show you how to create your own frame with clip. Included in this post is a free, printable templates for 2 sizes of wooden clothespins that are the most common. You can download the template here. For these projects, we used some of our border stamps such as: ​Art Deco Borders Rubber Stamp Set (in green ink) ​Carved Botanical Borders Rubber Stamps (stamped in pink) and ​Linocut Floral Panels Stamps (stamped in navy blue ink) ​Woodcut Flowers Rubber Stamp Set (seen in the light tan ink above) These rubber stamps have excellent detail for these beautiful pins. Also, the film reel image is from our ​Vintage Photo Frame Rubber Stamp S...

Our stamp, Thinking of You features a girl dressed in a Victorian bathing suit, sitting in the sand looking out into the ocean.  I embossed just the girl in (my recent!) favorite copper colored powder, cut around her and placed it onto a copper colored square mat.  (This stamp includes a text stamp, too, but I cut the rubber apart and will use the text stamp for another project.)  The Seashell Collection Rubber Stamp is stamped in black ink onto a powder blue paper.   Wavy shaped scissors were used on the top and bottom edge of the paper. Inside the card mat, I stamped one of the seashells from the collection by just masking the rubber with blue painter's tape  (I did not cut out the stamps on this set because I think they look great together).  I stamped just the large seashell that's in the bottom right corner.  I hope this project adds happy, beach thoughts to your day!
