What Does Our Resident Crafter Have to Say?
I really love the look of metal stamping, and when I recently took over as Shoppe Manager at The Shoppe at Somerset, I was surprised and pleased to learn that we carry two different sizes of metal stamp sets. Metal stamping is a practice-makes-perfect technique, but practicing can be so much fun! It’s important to use a steel block and steel hammer when metal stamping in order to get the best results.
Once you’ve got all of your supplies for metal stamping, the sky’s the limit. I like to use our steel stamps to write inspirational words on our dog tags, which are available in both brass and stainless steel, and come in packs of six. Also, you can add even more depth and interest to your dog tags by using Iced Enamel Powders by ICE Resin. You can quickly and easily whip up personalized gifts for friends and family, or add custom metal pieces to your mixed-media artwork. This is one purchase that you will definitely get plenty of mileage from.
Metal Stamped Dog Tag Project:
Step 1 – Adhere a dog tag of your choice to a stamping block with tape. (We used washi tape, since it doesn’t leave any residue).
Step 2 – Carefully position each stamp on the tag, and then firmly hit it with a steel hammer once. Do not hit the stamp more than one time because that will cause a shadow effect.
Step 3 – Repeat for all letters, then attach seam binding ribbon in your desired color.
