Rubber Stamping Projects

Coloring in cars is a lot of fun and it goes fast when you have an inspiration page of real photographs to see which colors to use and where to place shading and highlights. We have so many vehicle rubber stamps and these are just a few of them. Thanks for visiting us here to see how to color in each one, with added tips and tricks for creating shading and chrome bumpers. Cars, in real life, feature deep color areas and bright accent lines. I used Copic markers for these, but use your favorite brand. Having a white gel pen for the highlights is optional. Let's start with our  VW Bug Rubber Cling Stamp . To achieve the color teal, I first used a light green for the base and Mint Blue (or any light blue) on top of the green. Tip: always save a piece of the paper you have stamped on to test your marker color(s) before coloring on the stamped image. Above: Photograph left and VW Bug stamped on right. Next, this  Chevy Bel Air Rubber Cling Stamp  was ...

While everyone is looking for things to do at home, coloring is a great way to pass the time and lessen anxiety. Sit in a comfy chair by a window or even outside if the weather is nice and enjoy the fresh air. We have created a free download of a hand drawn mandala that you can print out and color in. To get the free .pdf download  click here . If you want to draw your own mandala, I have come up with some tips to make it fun. You can use office paper or card stock...any paper thickness will work. Trim an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper to 8.5" so that you have a square page (8.5" x 8.5") (If you have A4 sheet, trim to 210 mm so you have 210 mm x 210 mm) Measure the center of the page and draw a line using a pencil (at 4.25" for letter size). Turn the paper and measure the center again and draw another line Now you have a cross in the center. Draw a circle whatever size you wish. Use a pencil to draw, then use a black marker over the pencil line...

When you paint or color on yellow paper, it is easy to create a night time look.  Our Mason Jar Rubber Cling Stamp is a fun stamp to capture fire flies. Start by stamping or embossing the Mason Jar onto a yellow colored paper.  You can use yellow card stock that even has a little design to it. For those that have never embossed: Embossing is an easy method with rubber stamps that creates a 'wow' factor on paper. Our Mason Jar stamp is an excellent stamp for this. To emboss, you will need an special ink pad (like VersaMark or Ranger) that puts down a sticky surface so that the powder adheres to it. You then sprinkle  embossing powder  onto the design.  Then use a heat gun to 'melt' the powder so it becomes hardened, and thus, permanent. Use oil pastels or water color pencils to color in the jar in blue.  Use both light and dark hues. Use a watercolor pen or paint brush and some water to spread the ink/paint around. Add additional color as ...

An LOL booklet: It's 6 pages of 5 inch x 7 inch papers that feature stamped funny sayings and designs. The white paper insert on each page allows you to stamp with many different color inks. It was super fun designing this booklet.  We have so many stamps that are perfect for making an LOL card (or booklet in this case) for someone special that needs cheering up or who always has a smile for everyone. First, choose the color scheme for your pages. You don't want to use too thick a card stock because someone has to flip through the pages.  Regular card stock pads that you buy at the craft store or online retailer, like the 8.5 x 11 or 12x12 paper pads work great and the color options are limitless.  I always like to lay out my color card stock before any project to coordinate the look. Cut 7 pages of 5 inch by 7 inch pieces. This can be textured or smooth paper. Then, use a smooth card stock and cut 6 pieces of 4.5 inch x 6 inch. The white paper is what ...

Tip: When stamping on textured paper, such as watercolor paper, place some craft foam underneath, then stamp.  Craft foam is inexpensive and any thickness is fine.  I used the 1/16" thick foam that comes in a large multi-color pack, but the foam can be purchased by the sheet at a hobby store.  Stamping onto watercolor paper gives you more options for coloring in the designs, especially watercolors or watercolor pencils. The featured stamps are the City Girls from several different sets: (from left to right) hands on hips girl is from City Girls Street Chic , next girl in green gown is from City Girls Formal Affair , girl in yellow is from City Girls Summer Vacation  and the long ruffled gown girl is from City Girls Formal Affair .
