Last month, I posted a simple DIY in which I tried out my newest crafting purchase, a letter stamp punch kit. Today, I have another DIY using the kit on every stationery addicts staple - the notebook. This is a great idea for gifts as any word, slogan, quote, lyric or phrase can be stamped on to the front, immediately transforming the plain notebook to a personalised present.
The technique is fairly simple and I found the practice gained embossing this wallet invaluable for feeling confident in my placement of the stamps [you can read more about the kit and testing here].
Lining my notebook with clear tape, I gave myself a guideline for my stamped wording:
...until complete:
Remove the tape and give the stamped area a wipe clean to remove any residual from the stamps:
...and your personalised, embossed notebook is complete - ready to use or be given away.

I so want a letter punch kit, these techniques look amazing x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael, It was definitely worth the price - around £15 (incl. p&p) on eBay - have a search if you are interested, there are a couple of different versions x
DeleteGreat tutorial on making a stamped notebook! Personalizing items like this can be so fun and creative. Speaking of unique projects, I've recently been exploring the Yamuna Expressway Uttar Pradesh, which has become a hub for all things modern and innovative. It's amazing to see the artistic and creative culture thriving alongside development in that area. Maybe I’ll take some inspiration from the region for my next notebook design!
