Rubber stamping is an amazingly simple yet versatile craft where you can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Stamps provide you with ready-made images, without the need to be able to draw, but from there you can explore and express your creativity in how you use and apply your stamps. Let the stamps work while you focus on developing your own style. Stamping is not only fun but therapeutic in these high-speed days. However, beware its also addictive. Once you start, you wont be able to put those stamps down! Working your way through this step-by-step guide will be just like taking a professional workshop, but from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace. The opening section covers the essentials in preparation for the inspirational projects each in turn introduces and demonstrates a further technique, as stepping stones in the creative process. For more experienced stampers, these projects provide the opportunity to brush up their skills and to extend their artistic scope and expertise.
Rubber as a commodity has been around for hundreds of years. However, it was not until the process of vulcanization (hardening) was discovered by Charles Goodyear that a way ahead was found for a multitude of practical applications for rubber stamps being one. Metal printing stamps preceded rubber varieties, and the actual source of the first rubber stamp is still a mired mystery. Early rubber stamps were marking devices such as those we still see in banks, post offices and libraries, and were mainly for commercial use, although the artist Pablo Picasso was partial to employing these stamps in his collages. The birth of modern rubber stamping, as we now know it, took place in the USA at the beginning of the 1980s, and with improved technology, we can now enjoy detailed, artistic designs.
If you are a beginner, work through the front section carefully and take time to select the right equipment, tools and materials, and to master the basic skills so that you have a sound foundation to build on, as well as the confidence with which to progress. If you have some stamping experience, this is a good opportunity to revisit the essentials, and you may well pick up some new tips to improve your skills. Besides practical techniques, this section looks at the fundamental principles of design involved in successful stamping understanding and using colour, and composing and presenting images with visual examples to show how these principles work in practice. You are then fully equipped to move on to your first project, adding a further technique to your repertoire, before progressing to the next. Each project is also accompanied by a gallery of additional designs featuring the key technique, which you can use as springboards for developing new ideas in your work. So, grab some scrap paper, pick up a stamp and inkpad and get stamping!
It is no accident that rubber stamping is so universally popular, and its lasting appeal lies in the creative scope it offers and the variety of its applications. A stamp is like a tool, and once you master the basics of using it, it can be made to work in lots of exciting ways. Stamping can also be combined with other craft techniques, as demonstrated in the Creative Workshop dcoupage, for instance making it a multifaceted artistic endeavour with almost limitless creative potential.
This section looks at the most essential, and specialist, equipment needed for stamping stamps and inkpads. You may find the range and variety on offer confusing and overwhelming, but by following these simple, practical guidelines, you will be able to make the right choices according to what you want to achieve.
There are many different kinds of stamp available, but they all fall into a few basic categories and are similarly constructed and used. However, there is a truy amazing range of images to choose from, covering every subject and theme imaginable.
The most common type of stamp, a wood-mounted stamp, is made up of three components:
die This incorporates the image and is usually made from rubber. Always check that the image has a good depth to ensure a clear, clean print.
