Three Stamps Made With Amazing Mold Rubber

by Lynne Suprock

I am loving being a part of
the Amazing Crafting Products Creative Design Team,  getting to
play with all these wonderful products, then show you  what I design. 
Today I want to share with you how to make your own rubber
stamps so that you may use them in your collage work, jewelry work, tag
designs, or anything else you can think of. 
We will make these stamps three different ways… so let’s get started.
When working with my Amazing Mold Rubber, I usually like to have a
few projects together at one time, or work on one big project.  That is just my preference, but you can
measure out the two part product and complete at intervals if you’d like.  


For this tutorial, I personally set up all three projects before mixing and pouring my Amazing Mold Rubber.  However, the tutorials, as written, will also guide you through each project as a stand alone.

STAMP ONE

Things you will need:
    Steel die letters, small
    Hammer
    Block of wood, soft pine
    Popsicle sticks, 4
    Elmers glue
    Alumilite Mold Release 
    small brush

    Using the steel die letters, hammer them into the wood.  Write a name, a phrase or a story.












    Build a wall around the stamped letters with popsicle sticks
    and attach with elmer's glue.  Make sure
    you dab the glue into each corner and in the cracks where the popsicle sticks
    meet the wood.
    Let dry.


    Paint letter depressions and wood surface with Alumilite Mold Release
    Mix the two part Amazing Mold Rubber.  Click HERE to see a video tutorial for how to do mix it.
    When you are ready, pour the Amazing Mold Rubber into the mold and let dry.

    Peel away the rubber and using the ink of your choice, stamp!

      



    STAMP TWO

    Things you will need:
      Embossing plate with a design for pasta maker or Cricut
      machine
      Alumilite Mold Release and small brush
      Duct tape

      Paint the inside of either top or bottom of the embossing
      Surround all four sides of the plate with duct tape and
      press to secure, leaving an wall about ½” high.

        STAMP THREE

        Materials you will need:
          A clear candy mold with a pattern (I used a brick wall pattern)

          Paint the candy mold with mold release.

          When you are ready, pour the Amazing Mold Rubber and let set.

            I have had so much creative fun doing these stamp making projects, and hope that you will give it a try, or experiment a little too!
