Stamping and Embossing

Design Stamps

First, the company called Ready Stamps
http://www.polyclay.com/ready.htm
will create a plate of rubberstamps from your own drawings, photocopies, or any sufficiently contrasty b&w images you send them (you then cut apart the individual images from the stamp sheet the way you want, and mount them if you want). (Ready Stamps is actually a part of the Cerebral Palsy Association, so it's a good cause too.) Or call them toll free at 877-267-4341.

(We polymer clayers also always ask for the "matrix" when we order the stamps, which turns the stamps into molds as well... so be sure and ask for plate + rubber + matrix, if you want).

You can fill a 7 x 9" paper with as many images as you can squeeze in, leaving enough room to cut between them. The darker/bolder the lines, the better the stamps (IOW, images with lots of little fine lines won't make as good a stamp).
Check out the page above for lots more info on the cost (about $32 + 5 s/h), tips on making your images, etc.

As for making photopolymer stamps, check out this page at my site for some info about that:
