Are you saving the left over Rubber from your stamp sets?
Well, you should... It is reusable.
I saved the rubber from a few of my sets. I don't save all of it, but some.
usually the sets that have alot of extra rubber are the best.
I wanted to reuse the rubber to create my own stamp set.
I have seen ideas about running the scraps of rubber through your bigshot on a die cut,
and creating shapes. That is a great way to reuse some of the rubber.
I've done this and it works wonderfully.
Here is a picture of those shapes I used with my die cuts.
Not too bad!
But the extra rubber around your new stampsets can also be used to create
some pretty awesome handmade stamps.
I loved the movie The Lorax.
And so I decided to create a stampset.
Here I created the Truffula Trees stamps.
Oh My Gosh.... Awesome!
To create the Lorax, I needed to buy the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit from Stampin Up.
I used the kit to create the Lorax.
Yes, I carved the rubber, using the tools from the kit.
So Cool and Easy!
And Wa-La....
My card
I had lots of fun creating the stamp set.
I can now share some cute cards and
scrapbook pages with the kiddos in my family!
Happy Stamping and Creating!
