Custom Stamp

After reading this post, I made up my mind to get a stamp with my new logo on it. It arrived a few days ago, and i am overwhelmed by the possibilities of my new toy :)

I stamped notecards, I stamped hangtags, I stamped paper, rolls of ribbon and fabric. Its too fun! I asked Chris if i could stamp him too and he said no… party pooper hehe

I got the stamp from Rubber Stamp Champ , and the Versacraft ink pad from Create for Less – i’m really glad i got these pads because they work on fabric too (as long as you heat set it)

I am so glad I got this stamp, and kind of want to get a few more made up. It’s already been so useful, and I can see it being an important part of my stationary kit from now on!

Stamps are awesome! My sister and I took a stamp class at a Paper Source store. It’s so cool the things you can do with embossing powder and a heat gun ;-)

Such a great idea! Are you finding that this ink pad works well on all those surfaces, especially fabric?

Oooh, I re-read the post and saw the bit about heat setting it. Good idea!

Hi Mary Jo! I found it worked pretty well on fabrics like cotton and silk – but not so good on wools, and stretchy jerseys. I haven’t yet washed the fabrics yet to see how they go – but the packaging recommends heat setting (which i did) so i hope that’s enough!! I’ll have to post about the outcome of wash tests :)
