RUBBER STAMPING TECHNIQUES

Stamp Storage
See the results of our customer challenge to show us how they store their cling cushion stamps.

Angelina Fibers and Angelina Film
These techniques also work for Fantasy Film and Fantasy Fibers.

Alcohol Ink Backgrounds
Use alcohol inks with metallic mixatives and blending solution to create backgrounds that look even more impressive than polished stone backgrounds.

Using Clear Stamps
We provide information on using and caring for clear polymer stamps.

Dot Stippling
Create a nice luxurious background with a dot stippling template.

Kiss Stamping
Use two stamps together to create a much different stamp.

Rubber Stamping on Bottle Caps
Bottle caps are a popular embellishment in scrapbooking and can also be fun for stampers, too. Stamp the names of your kids, friend, occasion or select from patterned stamps made just for bottle caps.

Using Chalk Inks
Unlike our other Techniques pages, this is more of an informational page. It is a comparison of ColorBox Chalks Ink Pads, Stampa Rosa's Fresco Ink Pads and Ranger's Antiquities Ink Pads. Which you would want to use depends on your paper and desired results. Make sure you get the one that's right for you.

Micro Marbles
Micro Marbles or Tiny Marbles can be used in rubber stamping artwork much the same way as glitter, but provide a unique and sophisticated look. We'll show you what you need to get started using this technique and what you can do with Micro Marbles. These are sometimes also called tiny marbles, no-hole marbles, and micro beads. These are often called tiny glass marbles or Micro Beads.

Make a Modern Background
With just a brayer and any ColorBox PetalPoint pigment ink pad make a fantastic looking background for rubber stamping. This is an easy technique and provides some very unique results.

Masking Techniques
Good masking techniques allow rubber stamps to be used together without running over one another. When creating collages using various stamps or several images of the same stamp, you may not care if the stamps overlap at times. There will surely be times that you don't want the stamps to overlap, but would like one to sit in the background of another. This like shows my favorite steps for overlapping images.

Rubber Stamp Mounting Techniques
Mount temporarily on Acrylic Mounts or permanently on wood.

Making Your Own Shadow Stamp
Use fun foam to create reusable custom sized and shaped shadow stamps for less than $0.05 each.

Chipboard Memory Albums
A great sample with general explanations of how each page was created.
