My Rubber Soul

Yes, my soul is rubber.
OK, no it's not. But you might think so as much rubber I own ... and never use.
But, I love the stamps from Rubber Soul. I think I might have one or two of their stamps.. have to look.
Check out their site and you can buy the stamps at Addicted to Rubber Stamps.

I'm also looking into purchasing some Bella stamps. They are really cute and fun.

Tag Maker Tutorial




This is one of the great presents my mom gave me for Christmas. This tag maker is great. You can purchase it at Michaels or online.
Also, you will notice my other present from my husband the easy eyelet punch.. both by Making Memories.eyelet puncher set





The cutting tool, template for different sized tags that are included in kit. I did have a little trouble getting the squares exactly right but a little more practice should do it.




Cut out stamped image with template. Use a healing mat.




Place stamped cut image into tag.




Place tag into tag presser. I had to make sure it was placed in the front and not towards the back of the press. I think it also depends on the size of your tag. If you put it back to far or bring it to the front too far it will bend the tag. Trial and error!




PRESS! :-) Gently



Turn tag over, place in eyelet and Punch!
