Stamping around!

As printing methods get ever more faultless and uniform, we detect a definite nostalgia for the pen, the typewriter, and the good old rubber stamp! The odd smudge and wobble shows the human touch; it brings life to the graphic. Assemble your bridesmaids and get a fun production line going as you stamp out names on labels and place cards. Let your creativity fly as you add birds, butterflies, cakes or vintage postmarks. The fun you all have doing it will shine out of the finished articles, and each one will be truly unique!
