Introduction
Let us make your very own design into a rubber stamp. We are specialists in art stamps, but can make any text stamps you require.
Our stamps are made from polymer. This is an artificial rubber material, widely used in the printing industry. We can achieve great details in our stamps with this material, which is CLEAR and can be supplied unmounted for use with clear blocks to aid the positioning of your images. You can specify a clear stamp at the checkout.
We can produce any size custom stamp up to around 10 inches across.
The process of making the stamp is photographic and so the image you supply us must be of good quality. Click here to open a page of examples of un/suitable images (pdf).
Please be sure that your image for upload meets the following specification:
- save the file as a jpg
- image should be 200x200pixels minimum and actual size (72 dpi is nowhere near good enough!)
- greyscale not colour
The image can be hand-drawn, written or computer-generated.
The image you upload should be exactly as you want it to appear when stamped.
There is no need to reverse the image!
If you are unsure if your image is suitable for our custom image stamp service please contact us.
If you have difficulty adjusting or uploading your image, you can click here to email it to us.
We'll adjust your image or advise you what you can do to get your stamp made!
We will contact you if there are any problems with any supplied image for our custom stamp service.
Stamps
Our regular range of stamps are manufactured from a synthetic rubber and mounted on hardwood handles to ensure durability.
They are available in three sizes, 1", 2" and 4".
The 1" stamps are designed for use on paper and cards.
The 2" stamps can also be used on walls and fabrics.
The 4" stamps are designed for use on walls and fabrics.
Inkpads
If you're a cardmaker, you'll be delighted by our large range of inkpads, pens and embossing powders.
With inkpads you can decorate paper, cards, glossy surfaces, glass (with Stazon), fabric (with VersaCraft), wood, shrink plastic and much more.
Embossing Powders
We have a fantastic selection of embossing powders available. All are used the same way:
Stamp your image using a pigment ink (VersaColor is perfect)
Pour a good amount of powder onto the stamped image.
The excess powder can be returned to the jar
Heat the image gently with the heat gun.
Use swirling movements so as not to scorch the surface.
The powder will melt in a few seconds and that’s it!
Clear powders will allow the ink colour to show through. Other colours will completely obscure the underlying ink colour.
Sparkle colours have a permanent glitter effect. Aromatic powders will retain their smell for a few weeks after melting.

Q. Where are the stamps I designed? Why can't I see my stamps in the basket? Please read on...
A. The most likely cause is that you didn't actually add them to your basket. After you typed your text,
you pressed "update preview' to see your design on the screen. You then needed to scroll down the
page and click the "add to basket" button. Unless you do this we won't know that you have finished your design.
Please create your stamp again, being sure to click the "add to basket" button below your stamp preview.
