crafty people help!

I need to make a stamp, that say "merry christmas" - I'm lazy and it would be quicker than writing it eleventy million times.

I don't have lino/rubber stuff, I have some things, what can I make it out of?

 

[boohoo]

Cheat and get one made at blades!!!

 

[Biddlybee]

no time.

labels would be shit eh? I've got some foamy style mount but I'm not very dextrous.

 

[boohoo]

You could write it in the foam mount, cut around ouline and then print?

Stencil maybe?

 

[Biddlybee]

I tried that

Stencil wuold mean reverse, so a block of ink with "merry christmas" in white... would that look shit?

 

[Biddlybee]

I have enough dymo, but writing would be quicker

 

[Biddlybee]

actually dymo might be the answer.

now the decision....

merry christmas, merry xmas, happy christmas or something else?

 

[boohoo]

merry xmas - it's the shortest!

 

[Biddlybee]

lol... back to hand written, it will be quicker (I won't do it pissed tongitht ), but will probably be merry christmas... and I will hate those word by the end of tomorrow

 

[spirals]

I'm a bit obsessed with this wool because it looks like ice cream

 

[wayward bob]

now i've just got to clean the press and work out whether i can print on top of ink which is still wet

It's by special request, they sent me the ebay link and I bought it to fit out.

38 quid and I can't work out if that's expensive or cheap

 

[wayward bob]

hair dryer?

heated laundry airer to the rescue!
