The Stampmaker Craft Kit has everything you need to make your own high-quality, incredibly detailed polymer stamps from any artwork. Use images, handprints, paw prints, drawings, photos, lace, or text, to create negatives which you then turn into stamps.
Yes, the finished stamp detail is so good that you can even use photos! And it takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Use your own handmade stamps to imprint or texture metal clay, card making, scrap booking, home decor, or any other craft application where you would use a stamp. The finished stamps have a rigid back and require tape or cling if you want to attach them to an acrylic block. The resin is quick to develop and easy to wash away, making it ideal for first time stamp makers.

- UV Imagepac Stampmaker lightbox

*Advice on Images
In order to be able to produce and print your images, you will first need to create your image digitally ready for printing. It is possible to use Microsoft Word for simple Stamps such as words or symbols, however we recommend basic design software for editing or creating more bespoke images. Free software programmes include GIMP, PAINT.NET, and Photoshop Express, however for more advanced users, programmes such as Corel Draw, Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator also work well.
We also recommend access to a camera or scanner if wanting to use fingerprints or textures taken from life
PLEASE NOTE: We don’t recommend using scissors or a guillotine as this will more often than not damage the seal. The separation should be done by a rapid snatching motion, pulling them apart - not a slow, tough tear, as this will damage at least one, if not both sachet seals.
