Who Wants To Win Some Stamps?

It may be a bit self-serving, but I'm totally in love with these stamps I designed for Scrapbook Takeout!  They're unmounted, red rubber stamps.  I used a pair of Kai Scissors to cut them apart (as close to the design as possible).  Some people mount the stamps on cling foam, but you can also place a mouse pad underneath your paper instead.  Basically, the rubber needs a cushion.  Both methods work.

I'm giving away a full set of these stamps to one lucky commenter.  So, let's check them out...

BubbleWrap

I call this my bubble wrap corner.  I scanned an actual print I made with bubble wrap and then digitally manipulated it in order to create this one.

CircleDoodles

These are my doodle circles.  I hand drew each of them.  You can use them to create backgrounds, make buttons, and they're great for creating frames and borders.

CircleBorder

And here is the circle border.  A very cool stamp.  It's just under five inches long and overlaps beautifully - an easy way to make frames and borders!  I'm going to try using it to create an entire background!

If you'd like to win all of these stamps, just leave a comment letting me know which is your favorite of the stamps.  I will choose a random winner on Sunday, August 24 at 11:59pm.  So, leave a comment before then!

And finally, here is today's Sultane project.  This one was inspired by Zentangles.  It's a type of dense doodling that I've been doing for years, but it appears to have a name now!   Most importantly, this layout features my new red hair (which is quickly fading to orange)!

I don't have a lot of stamps because I'm primarily a digiscrapper; but I love that border! I want to try to do some hybrid stuff and think that border would be a fantastic thing to use in my hybrid projects.

Thanks for the opportunity!

i'm totally loving the bubble wrap one. what an awesome idea!!! :D

Wow! Your create stamps! That's fantastic! Love the circle border the best! Love, love, love all your intense doodling! I am an awful doodler, but a great admirer of it!

the bubble wrap one is just genius! love it :)

Great stamps!! The bubble wrap one is fabulous!!

Circle border or bubble wrap corner... circle border or bubble wrap corner... okay, I'll say the Circle border (but I like them both :o)

Love them all, but I think I like the last one best!

I really like the circle border stamps! All of them look fun.

These custom rubber stamps are amazing! I'm glad you've shown me these customized stamps. There's nothing more rewarding than getting to use personalized message rubber stamps or personal design rubber stamps. Thanks for sharing your designed stamps. I'll be sure to check back for more in the future.
