than polished stone backgrounds.

template.
Kiss
Stamping

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.
