Stamping

[Dublinperky]

Okay my mom and I went to a Stampn' Up party (stampn' up is a rubber stamp company) and thought we were just going to look and not buy anything. Well quite a bit of money later we have a lot of stamps. I wanted to make stuff to raise money for a bunny shelter or something. Does anyone have any ideas what I can make?

One idea would be to stamp some card/vellum, cut around them and paint some and then you can sell them on places like ebay to card makers etc. I had some old stamps and did this and it brought in good money sometimes, usually at least £10 per week depending on what I sold and that was fine for me. Some of the best are flowers, disney and baby boy/girl stamps.

YOu could take orders for personalized stationary. Use your stamps, and get a calligraphy pen (i've seen some great markers), and some great paper!

You know, "from the desk of Ms. Keith" or something like that... Price would have to cover materials and your effort tho.

I would love to make stationary and I have a calligraghy pen and very good paper (I scrapbook so I use that stuff) But I don't know if anyone would want it. How would I get the word out that I can make it and stuff.

Making gift tags, stamping tissue or wrapping paper to match, making picture frames, Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree

If you got the right kind of inks//dyes you could probably stamp fabric and make scarves, stamp pillowcases, etc
I 'googled' rubber stamping on fabric and found some really nice sites. Here is one

If you attend a church, often little old ladies like to support kids' endeavours. Bake sales, craft fairs, spring +fall teas.

When I'm looking for housemates, I hang up posters at the mall, laundromat, grocery store, etc. If you get to know a store owner, maybe he/she would keep a few there to sell for you ?!

Thanks for the ideas. I am going to ask my dad if I can sell my stuff at the church. (my dad is the pastor!) Ohh! I am so excited now!
