When the ink pad is well inked, press the bubble wrap firmly and evenly onto a piece of paper. When the paper is dry it can be incorporated into a variety of rubber stamping projects.

Variations There are many ways that this simple technique can be varied including:
  • Use a rainbow colored ink pad to give a multiple colored stamped image
  • Water based paints will work well and are ideal for children to use
  • The pattern can be heat embossed using a slow drying or embossing ink and embossing powders

  • How to Stamp on Candles - Adding some rubber stamped decorations to candles can transform a plain candle into something really special. Using this simple technique, candles can be customized to match a room or table decor, personalized for a wedding or birthday, given a festive make-over or simply transformed into your own unique work of art.
  • Heat Embossing as a Resist - The raised, glossy outline of a heat embossed image makes a great resist. When inks or watercolor paints are applied over the top of the embossed image, the shiny surface of the image 'resists' the color. This is a useful technique and can be used in many rubber stamping projects.
