How to Make a Simple Rubber Stamped Card

Anyone can make home-made cards, all it takes is a few supplies and a little creativity. This will show you how to make a simple one.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Rubber Stamp in the design of your choice (bought at a craft store)
• Cardstock in the color of your choice (Cardstock is like a premade card that just needs to be designed on)
• Ink Pad (Craft store)
• Damp paper towel, or stamp cleaner
• Coloring medium of your choice

1. Lay the cardstock down in front of you, and visualize where you want to place your image.

2. Remove the lid from the ink pad.

3. Turn the stamp with rubber facing up and place the ink pad on top of it to ink the image.

4. Set the ink pad down and verify the image has been completely inked.

5. Place the stamp, rubber side down onto the cardstock where you want your image placed, and press down evenly on all sides.

6. Color the image (if desired) with the color medium of your choice.

7. Add some text (if desired), and you are finished.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also buy another rubber stamp that is text to go along with the image to add even more.
• Once the stamp is on the cardstock do not move it at all or the image will smear!
• Careful how hard you press down on the sides or you might ink the cardstock with the side of the rubber and not just the image.
