3. Stamped Monograms - Stamping tags for any purpose with initials can easily identify items belonging to a person. Consider a stamped luggage tag, backpack tags or a small zipper pull tag. Choose the materials carefully as paper does not hold up as well as something like wood will under heavy use.
4. Create stamped alphabet borders – this can be done simply and easily with a set of clear alphabet stamps. A scalloped edge and a long clear acrylic block. Place the scalloped edge on the block and begin placing the letters in the correct order along the edge of the scallop. Space the letters evenly for the best results. The finished result is a wavy, alphabet border that is fun to use on kindergarten and preschool pages.
5. Stamp Personalized Stationery – There is something special about seeing your name on a pad of paper or a key chain. It makes it personal. With the diversity of names of those around us, alphabet stamps are the perfect way to be sure anyone can have personalized stationery or notepads to use.
6. Rubber Stamped Ransom Note Lettering – Mix and match your clear alphabet letter styles in a single project to create a fun ransom note lettering technique or background.
7. Hardware Store Treasures – Stamp a large letter onto a paint chip, laminate chip, wallpaper sample or other hardware store treasures for a unique, yet personalized touch.
8. Stamped Sentiment Ribbon – Stamp a sentiment using your alphabet rubber stamps onto ribbon to embellish your scrapbook ideas and card making designs.
9. Personalized Page Pebbles - Stamp initials or create words by rubber stamping letters onto page pebbles. Be sure to use a staz-on ink so it does not smudge.
10. Alphabet Shadows - Ink a Q-tip in a darker shade to add shadows to your stamped letters. A dark brown is also a good color choice for this technique. You will find it adds dimension as well as interest to your letters. Shadows can also be created by simply rubber stamping the letter twice, with the second impression slightly to one side of the original impression. Experiment to see what you like best. Clear alphabet stamps are ideal as you can position the second impression perfectly.
