Custom Made Stamps

I've not blogged for a few weeks so I thought I would pop on today to tell you about a great place to get some custom made stamps made.

When I was at the NEC the other week, I came across a stand for Aly's Inky Fingers and had a chat with the fella on the stall whose name is Mark, regarding some stamps that I was looking for.  They didn't have any that matched what I wanted but he told me that if I emailed them the artwork they could create a clear cling stamp for me.  This sounded like a fantastic idea, I'd seen people offering personalised stamps before but not come across a company that would make pictures/shapes as well.  The prices quoted were very reasonable as well!

Anyway, once I got home I set about sorting out the stamps that I wanted and then put some images into Word and sent them to Mark with the approx size of stamps that I required.

I have today received the stamps from Mark and I am very pleased with them.  They are just what I wanted at a decent price and are made from good quality polymer so should last a long time.

So, if you are looking for any personalised stamps or stamps of a particular subject that you can provide the artwork for then go along to Aly's Inky Fingers and either use the contact form to get in touch with Mark with your requirements or email him at alysinkyfingers@gmail.com

I will be ordering some more stamps very soon!!!!

Lovely Stamps By Ryn

I recently found out about a lovely stamp designer in Canada called Ryn.  She designs the most beautiful rubber stamps, they are really deeply etched and superb quality.  They come already mounted, ready to stick to an acrylic block.  I ordered a couple of stamps to see for myself as I'd heard such good reports about them and I was not disappointed!!!

I ordered the popular 'Water Droplets' - which looks like this

 

This stamp is sold out at the moment but it is fabulous for backgrounds and for putting droplets on leaves etc.  You can put 3D gloss onto each droplet and they look very realistic. Here's a tag that I made using this stamp along with Distress Inks, 3D gloss and Treasure Gold wax. The sentiment is by Inkylicious who also do fab stamps!!!

The other stamp that I bought was a lace one that I have only tested on paper but not actually used in a project.  It's really pretty, this is what it looks like

 

I thought this would look nice on a Vintage project.

You can see and purchase the above stamps and the rest of the range here and they take approx one week to arrive, give or take a few days.
