STEPS: 1. Order or create your custom monogram
rubber stamp. If you are designing your own, there are several wonderful online rubber stamp companies that allow you to upload and order custom designs (two listed above). These companies offer stamps in a wide range of sizes (up to 11" wide!) to suit your specific project.
2. Choose an ink appropriate for the surface you are stamping on. Some surfaces and materials require special inks, so a bit of research is advised for best results. There are specific inks available for glass, fabrics, paper embossing, projects that need to be waterproof, etc. Additionally, most inks come in a wide variety of colors, so it should be easy to find one that matches or compliments your wedding colors.
3. Time to start stamping! Make sure that the
stamp is fully loaded with ink and press down on all corners of the stamp before lifting it straight up and off the surface to achieve a crisp, vibrant print.
4. When you are finished, your stamp should be washed thoroughly with dish detergent and warm water to remove all ink. This will keep the design crisp for future use.
