Rubber stamp madness!

December 4th, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

Permit me to sing the praises of two fine people/organizations.

The first is . She’s an excellent graphic designer with lots of business and personal experience. She produces practical, elegant designs. Not just web art, either, but in dyeing clothes and yarn, as well as a myriad of other crafty talents. If you want something made beautiful, she’s the beauty queen to go to.

The second is Readystamps.com. They do very professional work, but they’re also a friend to the quirkier among us – look at this portion of their site for details on nifty stuff they can do. They are a division of the United Cerebral Palsy Association in San Diego, and they made some rubber stamps for me. Their responses were timely, their price was good, their customer service was excellent, and most importantly, the stamps look amazing!

I sent them a sheet of ‘s and my designs, and got back a matching rubber sheet.

I’ve cut the stamps apart and mounted them, and they print very cleanly.

This will be some nice value added on the outside of the box for my Jayne hat customers!

Another neat feature is that if you ask them to, Readystamps.com will send you the photo negative used to create the stamps, as well as the molds and other assorted production bits. These are things that you can use to create silkscreens or polymer clay imprints of your designs. I have zero time to do these things, but I’m psyched to have the opportunity. 🙂

A big, big thank you to for her faboo design work. This is so exciting! I’m lucky to have people around me who can do such nifty things. I’m working to learn the little tricks for making these stamps look even better. And I’m enjoying picturing my recipients’ faces when the EXTRA cunning box arrives on each doorstep!

    Well, crud. They display for me, but we did just change a bunch of stuff on our server. Bear with me.

    Hmm… someone else is also telling me they display for them. I’ll check with my tech guru/husband.

    Eee! I see them and I think that’s somewhere between hilarious and awesome. Possibly both. Kind of goes with the dream I had last night of wandering around Serenity trying to find the engine room.

    Heh. I’m thinking I can get some mailing labels and stamp them with my BLUE SUN stamp. Give me a holler if you want me to stick a few Blue Sun stickers in the mail. 🙂

    Excellent!!!! I have given up on having stamps made, b/c paying $10-$12 per image (even though I got nice stamps) was just too much. Knowing that I can take my artwork, get stamps (and the mold, since I do work w/ polymer clay!) and help out a good organization is happy news.

    And the postmark stamp — shiny!

    David says some mumbo jumbo about our DNS server not recognizing your new site yet or some such thing. He says if I wait for a while, I’ll probably be able to see the pictures. So I think it’s just us.

    No pictures for me either… not that I’d get it, anyway.
