Card Masculine Rubber Stamped

Consider your very first scrapbooking project. Most likely, it was done when you were very young. You probably pasted newspaper clippings and memorabilia onto scrap papers that you decorated with ribbon and other odds and ends that you had at your disposal. Once complete, your scrapbook consisted of a stack of pages stapled or glued together to form a book. Lots of times those pages included not only keepsakes, but your own drawings and art work as well. As rough and unpolished as that project was it introduced you to the basics of the world of scrapbooking.

Now as an adult, scrapbooks are a little more refined and have more trimmings and tools you can use such as clear rubber stamps which help you make scrapbooks that will last through generations. The concept of scrapbooking itself really hasn’t changed. It still consists of the process of positioning photos, newspaper clippings, and other mementos together with pictures and textures to create appealingly pleasing works of art. Scrapbooking has also stretched from saving and placing existing items into your scrapbooks to now creating your own enhancements. As such, scrapbooking techniques are used to make gift cards and gift card holders, add detail to art work, create birth announcements, design fun party invitations, produce family recipe books and much more.

Scrapbooking Tools

Some of the tools you will need most in creating your scrapbooks include an x-acto knife which allows you to cut out a variety of shapes. Used with care you can cut things out without risking any ripping or bending of your picture whether it is a photo or an image you made with your clear rubber stamps. Be sure that you use a cutting mat or old magazine under anything you cut so you can protect the surface of your work area. Another essential scrapbooking tool you will need will be a pair of tweezers. Tweezers make it simple and easy to place tiny pieces of paper or small items on a project without getting glue on your fingers keeping glue only where you want it to be on your project.
