Rubber-stamping it

I recently bought a custom stamp set from CraftPudding on Etsy. The set includes three hand-carved rubber stamps: one with my avatar, one with my URL and a little one with a cotton reel. How cute is that! I've bought some sticky labels and I'm stamping them for the packaging for my own Etsy store. I think I'll even do some wrapping paper!

I've shown it here with the self-inking rubber stamp I had made for the card-making business I had when I was a teenager. I drew a doodle and wrote my business name and had it made up at a stationers. Nearly 20 years, thousands of cards and it's still stamping like new!

There's also a roller-stamp of an emu's footprints- one of those self-inking stamps which are like a felt-tip pen. I found it in the gift shop at Healesville Sanctuary.

And last but not least, a traditional rubber stamp, an elephant- of course! This one is from my 70's childhood and was ancient even then. The rubber is a little hard and corroded, but I think that adds to its vintage charm.
