Cool Story Bro

This week I found a wonderful little crafty gadget in Aldi for £2.50; Recently graduating from a BA(hons) in 3D Design: Crafts (or as I like to deem it making cards for grown ups {I jest it was a bit more technical than that}) I'm always on the look out for little crafty goodness to keep my degree relevant to my life (and make me feel better about accumulating £1000's worth of debt for a degree not really relevant to getting a 'real job')
ANYWAY......
 Rubber stamps can be pretty pricey, (I know someone who paid around £30 to have their own customer stamp made which was on a par with this one!) so this one where you can simply pop in your own wording was a bargain. It would have come in amazingly handy when I was creating my own business cards for my degree show, but it will still come in handy for when I make occasional sales from my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/GoodMorningMagpie for personalised, handmade thank you tags.
You have a little set with tiny little rubber letters on, you just pop them off this and onto the stamp.
 It's really quite simple, if not a little fiddly
And there you go! You can switch and swap the letters to say whatever you like. It comes with an extra ink pad too!

  3. We had the really old school ones at home when i was growing up that my mum would use when she was an Avon lady. I think they are really neat though and a much more affordable way of stamping and making your own stationary.

  4. I like how it looks a bit like typewriter font and how I can change what it says really easily.
