Make Your Own Journal Stamps

Using rubber stamps in your journal is a great idea. Alphabet and number stamps have been the most useful for me. I like to date my entries in different colour inks. It also looks neater and with all the funky stamp designs available it’s easy to add a unique look to the pages of your journal.

Buying rubber stamps is always an option, but sometimes the stores just don’t stock what it is you’re after. Or perhaps you’re really strapped for cash and you need that stamp now.

Why not make your own rubber stamps?
