Why should you engage in artistic rubber stamping? Why should you become an avid stamper? Stamping is very good for you! Stamping is:
simple, creative fun
good for the soul—it lifts you out of yourself
improves your mental health
calorie free and will add no inches to your waistline
creative and releases creativity within you
gratifying as it brings a sense of accomplishment in a short period of time
allows you to become something of an artist without years of experience
relational—you will often stamp with others
an emotional high—as you give your creations away, you are filled with a sense of well-being
Do you think you don’t have enough time for rubber stamping? I used to think that, too. What I discovered is that I really need to make the time to stamp and do paper crafting. Because of the many benefits listed above, I actually NEED to stamp. I may not need to stamp every day (although I usually stamp every day anyway!), but I need to rubber stamp regularly.
Stamping is more than a hobby. Whether you stamp greeting cards, scrapbook pages, or gift items, you create quick, mini “works of art.” You can do all this by simply attending a Stampin’ Up! workshop or a class given by your demonstrator. That is how you learn the basics of stamping. So you can enjoy the true blessing of creating something lovely without years of professional lessons, arduous practice, and aborted projects. Artist Henry James said, It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance…and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.” While creating hand-stamped projects, mini “works of art”, will not solve all life’s problems—or even attempt to—it will enrich, at many levels, the lives of those engaged in it. Paper crafting can also be learned online through online tutorials and articles just like this. Check out my other rubber stamping articles!
Now that you have been convinced of the benefits of creating hand-stamped projects, where will you begin? Greeting cards are a great starting point as they are small in size and scope. The average size of a hand-stamped greeting card is 5 ½” x 4 ¼”. This is your “canvas,” and it can be filled quite quickly. Whether you choose an elaborate design or something simpler, you can complete a card in 5-30 minutes. Even beginners can complete cards in just minutes.
The more experienced and adept you become, the more elaborate your designs can be and the quicker you will become at their completion. But even very experienced stampers value the beauty of simple designs. Of course, personal taste is a major factor in simple vs. complex designs. In addition to personal taste, there is the enjoyment factor to be considered. Some stamping techniques are just plain fun. Those are the techniques you will return to again and again. More elaborate and complex projects are usually reserved for special occasions.
Once you give a hand-stamped card to someone, there is no going back to store-bought! When you see the incredulity on someone’s face followed by, “Did you make this? For me?” you will be hooked! When the special people in your life realize that instead of purchasing a card made by a factory, you took some of your own time (that most valuable of all commodities) and soul to produce something for them, they are touched in a unique way that cannot be bought.
So what are you waiting for? When will you take the plunge into hand-stamped, heartfelt creations? The benefits are worth your time and effort. For further information, go to sweetstamper.com.

When it comes to stencils, the best way to get the design, shape or lettering you want is to order custom stencils. Here’s a look at how to order custom stencils online. Stencils have come a long way since art class. No longer are they reserved for children’s projects, such as pumpkin carvings. On the contrary, stencils are being used today to paint designs, lettering and other characters on just about any surface on the planet, from living room walls to construction sites. Whether you want to repaint the numbers on your driveway with driveway stencils or create a floral pattern in your bedroom, stenciling is a great way to get the job done without spending a lot of time and money.
Although retailers offer a wide range of stencils to choose from, the best way to get the design, shape or lettering you want is to order custom stencils. Here’s a look at how to order custom stencils online. Before you can order custom stencils, you will need to write out the text and check your spelling. Once you have selecting the text, you will need to choose the type of font you wish to use. Most stencil retailers offer a large selection of fonts to choose from, including both traditional and whimsical fonts.
Next, you will need to choose the letter height as well as the desired sentence width and length. The next step in the ordering process is to specify text alignments, or whether you would like the text to be centered, flushed left, or flushed right.
The final step in the ordering process is to select the material of the stencil. Stencils are available in brass, Mylar, oilboard and magnetic materials. If you’re ordering a handicap parking stencil, for example, you may want to order a material that you can use over and over again. Oilboard stencils, also known as Stencilboards, are thick oil treated tagboards that can be used over and over again. Likewise, Mylar stencils are thick, extremely durable, and can be cleaned with solvent and reused multiple times.
After the final step, you’re ready to place your order. Keep in mind that parking lot stencils and other oversized stencils and may take up to two weeks to ship.

Scrapbook Die Cuts and Die Cutting Machines Still Preferred Over Electronic Cutters
If you have been thinking about scrapbooking die cutting machines, you will be pleased to know that those who have taken the dive before you say they will never go back to drawing and cutting out manually. When scrapbooking die-cutting machines came on the market, a whole new dimension was brought to scrapbook pages with die cut templates that come in wonderful themed designs and can be cut with a personal easy to use machine. So if you are not ready to move into the digital revolution quite yet, there are many good scrapbooking die-cut systems available for you to use and affordable too. So although an electronic cutter might sound good and easy, manual die cutters are still preferred and have a large place in today’s scrapbook die cutting market due to the love of the hands on creative process. Sometimes the click of a button just does not cut it.
Scrapbook Die Cuts
Die cuts are shapes used to decorate your scrapbook layouts. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes for your scrapbook needs. The sizes are usually 1 inch to 4 inches in 1/2 inch increments, but this can vary from each supplier. Quickutz tends to provide a wide range of 2×2 inch dies, whereas Spellbinders Paper Arts sells a bit larger die cuts. The great thing about dies is that they can be reused again and again, making them more economical than consumables such as stickers or rub-ons. Die-cuts are an easy way to make your pages standout and look fabulous and are extremely versatile in paper crafting.
Scrapbook Die Cutting Machines
These scrapbooking machines create designs by pressing a shape or die into paper, cutting it into precise shapes or letters. The machines can give you precise cuts on many different sizes and shapes depending on the opening of the die cutter. So before you begin a comparison or ask about comparing machines, you need to ask yourself what is it that your are looking for in a system. Will you be cutting other materials other than paper with your die cut machine such as cork, vellum, felt, chip board, magnet, certain types of metal? Will you be crafting just from home or do you need a portable die cutter? These are just two questions, but I found Die-Cuts.com to be a great resource if you are a beginner and would like to know more about the different scrapbook die-cutting machines and die cuts on the market. Some of the best manual cutting machines available right now, would have to be the Sizzix Big Shot, Provo Craft Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Wizard, and the Quickutz Epic Six. These are all leading brands of machines with similar universal features. All cutting systems listed here will do both cutting and embossing.
Although the electronic cutters sound fantastic, manual die cutters are still very popular and still have preference in todays’ scrapbooking market. There is no need for the fancy electronic machines, when you can let those creative juices flow with a die cutting machine. These cutting and embossing machines are very simple to use, and much less hassle than tracing and cutting by hand and more creative than the click of a mouse. They are not only for the serious scrapbookers, but for all women who enjoy crafting. Die cuts and Die Cutting Machines are a solid investment and practical and has been a staple of crafting for a long time and will continue on for years to come.

Creative Memory Scrapbooking is a Wonderful New Art Form
For centuries the art of scrapbooking has been kept alive because we all love mementos and souvenirs of our past. We all like taking photos of our friends and our families because very often we do not get to spend as much time as we would like with them. Creative memories scrapbooking is a wonderful way of keeping these special occasions alive. It is a way of capturing the treasured moments you spend together in a personal photographic journal that you can make as decorative as you like.
Very often all our photographs stay in boxes or drawers because we never seem to have the time to sort through them. Some of our favourite ones may get framed or put into albums which then just stay on a bookshelf gathering dust. But photos often depict milestones in our lives. These photos are often taken during important occasions such as weddings, christenings and birthday parties.
Scrapbooking has become one of the nicest hobbies for people to do when they are at home and creative memory scrapbooking means that all those old photos can now be retrieved from the boxes and drawers to be sorted and reminisced over in the nicest of possible ways.
It is a very therapeutic pass time which keeps memories alive for the whole family to enjoy and appreciate. This whole concept of scrapbooking is an inventive approach to making sure nothing is ever forgotten. Scrapbooks are far nicer than simple photo albums because you can make them into beautifully decorative books which have your own very personal touch to them. These books tell the world exactly who you are and how you express yourself. This is all achieved in the manner in which you create your personal scrapbook.
Your treasured moments are there for all to see on the pages you have personally made and creative memory scrapbooks suddenly have a life of their own, with memories of times long past suddenly jumping out of the pages at everyone who views them. The great part about it all is that you can add text to each of the pages, so that your story is not only visual but written as well. Each of the pages will lead to the next in a wonderful way if you plan it well.
To create a memory scrapbook is easy these days. Just by going on the Internet you will be able to find all the tools and materials you would ever need to start off doing this lovely and creative hobby. Just by looking around your own home, you will find simple mementos and decorations which you can use to embellish your scrapbook. This is how they use to create scrapbooks in times long past.
We are lucky to have so much at our disposal, but it is always nicer to mix what you find yourself with things you find either in a craft store or on the Internet. You can create a very personal scrapbook by doing just this instead of just using prepared ready to use items. But if you are stuck for decorations or need extra embellishments to add that little bit extra to your scrapbook, you will find a treasure trove of goodies by going on the Internet.
There are websites which specialise in scrapbooking and they offer some great ideas as well as supplying materials and kits which help get you started. Once you have created one scrapbook, you are well on your way to creating another because it is such a fun thing to do. Your children will love to be a part of the project and it will encourage them to use their imaginations and give you ideas on how to go about decorating your book.
A well kept scrapbook is an heirloom. It is a family legacy that generations to come will enjoy leafing through. It is something that you will enjoy creating, it will preserve your memories perfectly and it is a way of passing a little bit of yourself to those who come after you in one of the nicest art forms you can create.

The only option left with us would be to try and keep records of the good old days gone by. One of the best ways to preserve fond memories is through photographs. Somehow in spite of the video recording facility available in today’s world the charm of old photographs still manages to hold its place in our hearts. An interesting way to keep the photographs rather than simply putting them in an album is to implement the idea of scrapbooking.

How to Create a High-Quality Sales Tool For Your Embroidery Business
Creating a High-Quality Sales Tool that is a real asset to your embroidery business will increase your sales. Using white Felt, sew out many of your best designs and the fonts that you use the most. When you are sewing out your designs, add a number under each design signifying the stitch count.
This makes it easier when you are trying to explain to a customer about stitch count and they can see approximately what a 10,000 stitch logo is going to look like.
As you are sewing out the fonts leave enough space between each one so that they will have a neat even border. Sew each font in a different color. Use the colors of thread that you carry in stock. If you want to offer several fonts for your customers to choose from start, with the one that is the most popular first and then continue on. It is easiest if you sew out the actual font name. This way every one understands what they are choosing.
Choose different sizes for your fonts so that you can use this as a tool also. Example: If you sew names out in a certain font, sew that font out in the same size that you sew out a name in. That way the customer totally understands exactly what he is getting.
If you have a certain size that you prefer for a left chest, sew out a block or script font that is popular for the left chest in the size that you normally use for the left chest.
After they are sewn out and trimmed perfectly, press a heat bonding material onto the back side of the embroidered sample pieces. Purchase the heat bonding material from the fabric store or an embroidery supply house.
Cut out each one of the fonts and designs using a pinked edge. To get a straight even line turn your embroidery over to the wrong side and draw a line with a ruler measuring up from the edge of the embroidery. Make sure that they all have the same amount of space around the embroidery so that they are all cut in a uniform manner.
Purchase 8 1/2″ by 11″ business card stock from the office supply store. With a hot iron or heat press machine, lay your cut pieces onto the business card stock and press them in place in a neat uniform manner. With a 3 hole punch, punch holes on the left side of the page when you are finished and place all of your sample pages into a 3 ring binder. Use one with the clear plastic storage view on the front. Create an attractive cover with your business name on it to slide into the front of the binder.
This makes a great sales tool that you can leave on the store counter or take with you. When I had my large embroidery business I furnished each one of my dealers with a sales binder and it really did increase my sales. It was very easy to use and the customer always knew exactly what type of quality they could expect.

We are now in the 11th year of the 21st. century and we are daily reading in newspapers and seeing on television a never ending story on how the use of new technology is changing the way we live almost daily – and despite this something as old fashioned as rubber stamps is still in big demand. It is estimated the yearly UK rubber stamp market is about 3.5 million different types of rubber stamps are sold every year. The market for rubber stamps is declining but only between 1% and 2% so rubber stamps will be around for many more years.
The variety of rubber stamps is huge ranging from advanced electronic rubber stamps, ink jet rubber stamps, self- inking rubber stamps of all kinds – but believe it or not the old fashioned rubber stamp with a separate ink pad is still having a market share of about 40%.
People do tend to forget that even a lot of the paper work that previous was printed on real paper and now is only shown in cyber space the same cyber space technology also creates lot of paper being printed out by millions of printers and a lot of this paper needs to be rubber stamped. So at the same time the modern technology is reducing the need for rubber stamps it is creating a new market. There has never been consumed so much paper as in our modern time and wherever there is paper there is a need for rubber stamps.
Rubber stamps manufacturer are constantly looking for new ways to use rubber stamps and here are two new markets that has proven to be very successful. In the recent years different types of ”Protect your ID ” rubber stamps have been sold in hundreds of thousands in the UK and worldwide. The idea is very simple and easy to do. You simply buy a rubber stamps where the text plate is hundreds of small x’s and when you stamp the ID you want to hide with this no one can read the text below all the hundreds of x’s. Indeed a very good idea. The other market is name rubber stamps. In kinder gardens and hospitals there is a need for staff to know what clothes belongs to whom after it has been washed. A special long lasting ink has been developed able to withstand being washed many, many times. So the name of the child or the patient is simply stamped in the neck of a shirt, a blouse, trousers etc. and now it is easy for staff to identify to whom the clothes belong.
To gain market share rubber stamp manufacturers constantly develop new products and the latest is a bacteria free rubber stamp handle. The technology is called ” Micro band ” and rubber stamps with handles produced using Micro band will kill all germs immediately.
Amazing!!

This means you don’t need to spend your time preparing each element that you plan to use. You will just need to put your pictures onto these pages. Once you have placed your picture then you should add some text as to what the picture is about. This is called journaling.
Don’t forget to add journaling to each of your scrapbooks. When you create a scrapbook you are trying to tell a story. The pictures are just one part of that. The journaling, title and captions lend context to your pictures and complete the story. I have scrapbooks from my grandparents and since they didn’t do a lot of captions I unfortunately don’t know who is in a number of the pictures. Don’t let his happen to you.
In order to use your kits you’ll need the following:
Photo editor. You can use Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop Elements (regular Photoshop is quite expensive). If you don’t have these and don’t want to spend money on a photo editor then you can find a free digital editor at my website.
Digital scrapbooking page kit
Quality printer
Digital camera
Scanner (if you want to work with older pictures)
Free digital scrapbooking page kits can definitely make the experience of creating a scrapbook much less stressful, especially if you are just beginning to scrapbook. Happy scrapbooking.

Many credit card companies have started using the cardholders as a part of their marketing plan by offering them the opportunity to earn cash back or referring a friend. There are several credit card companies that offer you a referral fee when you have someone sign up and start using the credit card. You should check out the different opportunities offered by these credit card companies. Many of the companies offer you a lifetime commission and tiered commissions. You are interested in earning money from your prepaid credit card check out where you are getting your card and the company that is offering you this card. You can contact them and find out if they have the marketing plan in place where they pay you to refer customers to the company. You should also find out what percentage they are offering as this can differ from company to company.
Many companies offer you rewards or cash back even if they do not offer you referral fees. You can earn cash rewards towards other purchases or point rewards to be used for the purchase of products that they designate in their catalog. These point rewards are valuable and can help you to get many things that you want without having to pay out cash money. The rewards programs can be used with airline miles and gas miles. You need to check out how your company handles their rewards and cash back programs. The opportunity to make money is just another way the credit card companies have to gain new customers but it can be your means of earning cash.
When you’re in the market to find the perfect prepaid card, there are a lot of things that you need to look out for to ensure you that you’re getting the card that works great for your wallet. Since prepaid cards may differ than regular cards, a credit card company may want to look into tagging on fees elsewhere so that they can make money off you.
This is why you need to look out for particular fees when you’re applying. Every application that you look at online will show you exactly what they are going to charge when it comes to fees. If there’s an annual fee, monthly fee or activation fee, I would recommend that you look elsewhere because there are so many cards on the market that are great that have next to no fees. You have to think about it this way and that if a card has a fee; you’re going to be paying money to hold a card in your wallet. Does this sound like it’s worth it? Absolutely not.
When it’s time to apply for a card, make sure you do your homework. There are so many resources online that enable you to find the card that you need. Look at the fees, look for the major logo and make sure that the card fits your needs when you want to put money on it. If you find yourself with a complicated card, you may be regretting it in the long haul.

Neverending Card – Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine
Is it really possible rubber stamps can fall in love with each other? Yes – very much so. The other day in the office I noticed two rubber stamps on my desk looking at each other almost with tears on their handles. They were the same size rubber stamps and looked the same when just looking at them but when I turned them over it became obvious their love was doomed. On one of the rubber stamps the text plate was made of rubber and on the other one is was made of polymer and even the rubber stamp with the rubber text plate was very attracted to the polymer one it knew it would never work. The impressions made by the polymer text plate would be of a very bad quality.
There would be ink all over the document stamped, the letters would be very difficult to read if not impossible, the ink would fill out the holes in letters like o, p, q and so on. This meant the genes of the polymer rubber stamp would be mixed with the genes on the rubber made rubber stamp text plate and the quality of all future impressions would be bad. This could not happen and would destroy the future of rubber stamps. It was all ready bad enough that rubber stamps with polymer text plates were being produced but to think the future could be a mix of polymer and rubber text plates would make the situation even worth.
The polymer rubber stamp was also aware of this and had never been proud of the impressions it produced but did really not have a choice since it should never have been made. The polymer stamp was so much in love with the rubber made stamp and knowing the love was doomed made tears running down the handle which made the situation even worth. The tears got mixed with the ink on the text plate and which made the impressions more or less unreadable.
The lesson to be learned from the doomed love of these two rubber stamps is always to go for quality. Poor made products like polymer rubber stamps will damage the reputation of the entire rubber stamp family so in no way could the rubber stamp with the rubber made text plate allow itself to be in love with the polymer stamp. It felt sad and could not really understand how it could fall in love with the polymer stamp – but it realised that good looking was not the same a good quality.
