Hello Kitty Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 We have had a set of large rubber stamps for years! They are possibly as big as 3" square and have simple Christmas pictures on. Every year I have used them to hand make the cards we give to the children. One stamp per card on black card, coloured in with metallic pens. Simple, effective and a really therapeutic thing to do in the evening Last year they were a bit dodgy and I had to guess the edges on a lot of them This year is even worse as I can't find them No problem I thought, we're due another set, I'll buy some. Now you may know I am a dab hand at googling but I can't find anything like them :'( I found a site that does some similarish but they are the ones on a sheet that you peel off and attach to a block to use and I suspect they won't last long. Please please does anyone know what I mean and where I can get them?
Cait Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Have you looked on amazon and ebay? ebay Edited November 24, 2011 by Cait
Hello Kitty Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 Did that before google Thank you for the suggestion though
Hello Kitty Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 Oops sorry didn't see the link before. I did see these and thank you for adding the link. They're too intricate though really - I have 80 to do I'll find a picture of the sort of picture we have - if that makes sense!
Fredbear Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 Hi have you looked on the Hobbycraft website.

Hello Kitty Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 Oh Bridger now you've done it... last time I looked they didn't do online shopping... Uh Oh!!! Will look now thank you
Jo A Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I am sure Baker Ross does some dont they? - No just checked they have sponges and wooden templates..... Also we got some a few years ago I think from ESPO
Jo A Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Found them - I knew I had seen them on Baker Ross http://www.bakerross.co.uk/product-Christm...nters-EX525.htm
catma Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I think you mean the ones that have been around since teaching began...which gave you an outline of the picture? But I cannot for the life of me recall the name of the maker Every school in London had them I know that. Cx
JacquieL Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 And up here catma in fact I expect every school in the country had them. They may even be antiques now! I have tried to find them as they used to have them in catalogues like Hope and Yorkshire Purchasing but no luck so far. Range sellsl all types of printing stampers for card makers, but they are very expensive.
catma Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Well I know my teachers used them in the 60's in Cornwall and then I used them in the 80's in London!!! There was one with a nativity scene, one with a christmas tree and one with 2 bells I think (+ others which I can't remember!)!! Oh those were the days with no computers and just an ink pad and your creativity!!! Cx
JacquieL Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Those were the days! But not something we use now other than in the creative area as a choice. I have always made sure the children used their own ideas, whatever they looked like but used the stampers as a free choice.
Hello Kitty Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 They're not quite that old as our pre-school didn't open until the 90's I don't think! Good news though - I found them! I have a nasty migraine right now, but when I feel better I'll post a picture of them - I think they're fab for card making Thanks for all the help everyone
