Sunshine Tag

Image
We have several rubber cling stamps of suns and palm trees. One of our newest designs is called Fiery Sun Rubber Cling Stamp and is featured here. We will create with a tag in pretty yellow theme while dreaming warm summer days! Step 1: Take a tag No. 8 in size and cover it in Dandelion Memento Dew Drop ink. The manila colored tag base is easily covered by using the dye ink pad directly onto the surface. Our Fiery Sun Rubber Cling Stamp total size measures 3" x 3 " but that includes the neat rays that feature dot pattern and delicate, artsy lines. The center circle of the sun measures just over 1 inch which makes it a perfect size for any project base. The sun is stamped with Palette Hybrid ink in Noir (black). Next, I stamped our Palm Tree Rubber Cling Stamp in Peanut Brittle Memento ink. This color looks great on the yellow and gives it a subtle look.  Also, I used the eyeglasses from our Man of Mystery Rubber Cling Stamp and placed them on the sun for a whimsical l...

Coloring Victorian Designs

Image
Most often when you think of vintage stamp designs, they are simply stamped with no room to color. We have some victorian rubber stamps that offer the perfect amount of coloring space to make them stand out in your next project. Here, we showcase our  Reading Garden Rubber Stamp  which features a lady in a fancy dress sitting on a bench made of stone.  An umbrella and flowers are around her. The stamp measures approximately 3 inch x 3 inch in size and fits nicely onto an A2 card. The example above is colored in with Copic Markers and was stamped in  Palette Hybrid black ink  onto white card stock. Above, are the copic markers used to color in her dress and umbrella. You see the color testing area to the left.  Tip: It is always recommended to test your marker colors on the same piece of scrap paper as you will be coloring in to make sure it is the color you will use on your final piece. If you prefer to use colored pencils, the photo above shows Derwent Ink...

Gift Tags Embossed White

Image
Kraft colored tags or cards have a french country look to them, especially when you add jute twine. In this post, we'll create a white embossed tag that has a chic look in style with the current trends. Our  Crochet Background Rubber Stamp  combined with our  Handmade with Love Rubber Stamp  makes for a great combo when creating a tag for a hand made gift. Whether its jewelry, like pictured above, or an heirloom shawl or blanket, these two stamps embossed in white on kraft colored card stock make a unique statement. Simply, emboss our  Crochet Background Rubber Stamp  with white powder onto a brown colored card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches x 4 inches. I rounded the corners of the tag.  In the photo above, our Handmade with Love Rubber Stamp is embossed in white powder onto the same color card stock and then die cut into a round shape. Another variation, I embossed in purple embossing powder onto a light purple card stock. This also makes an...

Flip Up Valentines Day Card

Image
In this post we feature a flip up Valentines Day card. The layout and structure can be used for any occasion and makes a fun card to give someone.  A unique opening for the inside message is simple and offers more areas to embellish. This card is flat enough to mail if your embellishments are kept at a low profile (mine were not). We feature our  Rose Heart Banner Rubber Stamp  at the bottom right corner of the card flip, offset. Reinforced with recycled chip board, it makes an awesome showpiece. Card cuts needed for this project: 3" x 4" inside mat for your sentiment 2.75" x 6" for the folded front layer 4.25" x 5.5" card 4" x 5.25" mat for card front (optional) An A2 card (4.25" x 5.5") with lighter pink mat 4" x 5.25" I added a die cut on top of the inside mat. Our  Heartfelt Hug Rubber Stamp  measures about 2" x 2". Also, our  Thank You Hug Rubber Stamp  would be perfect when creating a special 'Thank You...

Rubber Stamping in Red and Green

Image
We have several rubber stamps of Poinsettias for the holiday crafter. In this post, I'll show you some examples of super cute Christmas themed paper projects using red and green stamping inks. Our  Labrador Christmas Rubber Stamp  is designed to compliment our  Poinsettia Border Rubber Stamp . Above is a simple Christmas card featuring both. The flowers flow from the truck to the outside circle. The  Season's Greetings Rubber Stamp  is featured on the top A2 card.  Tip: when using die cuts on cards, especially intricate ones like the oval shaped one, glue it down using a glue stick. This looks good when using a different color in the same shade family, like a dark green and light green card stock. Above are some gift boxes that feature: Color Me Poinsettia Rubber Stamp  (bottom gift box) Holly Background Rubber Stamp (middle gift box)  and Poinsettia Border Rubber Stamp  stamped in a dark green ink, watercolored in and gold glitter glue added...

Safari Themed Projects

Image
Our many animal stamps include several that are perfect for a safari themed project. We created a printable template of the continent of Africa that you can stamp the African Elephant, Lion, Gorilla, and of course, our Safari stamp.  The beauty of the African Continent can be seen in movies like, Out of Africa (1985), Gorillas in the Mist (1988), Love on Safari (2018), and Holiday in the Wild (2019). There's something special about the nature and atmosphere in Africa that makes planning a trip there seem extra exciting. Below is a link to download the free template which includes other fun graphics like vintage binoculars and safari hat.  Now, let's create a few projects that will bring you closer to the Lions in the Sahara, Giraffes in the Serengeti and Gorillas in the Congo Forest from the comfort of your home or classroom! https://www.jpsdigital.com/deepredstamps/downloads... Print out the template from your home computer. Do not cut anything out yet. You will be stamping f...
