What is Rubber Stamping?

Rubber Stamping is the art and craft of using a rubber or polymer stamp and ink to create pattern or design on a surface. Once this has been mastered you are only limited by your imagination as to where this art can take you.

 

If you are new to stamping it can all seem a bit daunting with all the stamps and ink pads that are available. Hopefully, here we will help you to understand what everything is and what you need to get you started!

What is Scrapbooking?

The art of scrapbooking allows you to preserve your precious photographs and memories in an acid-free environment in the most beautiful of ways – a handmade album or book. The acid-free aspect is all important as this will ensure that the photos won’t discolour or detiorate.

 

One of the best things is that you cannot make a mistake in scrapbooking as there is no right or wrong way to do it! You are using the book to enjoy telling your story. Every scrapbooker is different, so everyone’s techniques will differ too.

What is Papercrafting?

Almost every kind of paper can be used for one of the forms of papercrafting – handmade papers, plain papers, patterned papers, scrap paper, brown craft paper, even newspaper.

Whether you choose découpage, papier mâché, decorations or card making, creating anything with paper is easy and not expensive!

Découpage

Originally used to decorate furniture in China and Japan in the 18th century, découpage is now widely used in many ways. It can be applied to wood, plastic, cork, china and, of course, card and paper. You don’t even have to be able to draw as printed papers are readily available.
