Quick and affordable packaging Beautiful and unique packaging is the foundation of any great consumer brand but it is often incredibly expensive to bring your ideas to life. Custom rubber stamps are an awesome, cost-effective way to create DIY custom packaging while achieving a remarkably polished look. These are some exceptional examples of custom rubber stamps used for packaging to inspire your next project. P&Co. Coffee Bags (above)We absolutely love this design and execution. This beautiful and retro layout makes for an awesome coffee bag on a budget. A custom rubber stamp like this costs less than $40 but allows you or your client to create packaging on demand for years to come. Circle 21 CandlesThis is a great example of just how flexible custom rubber stamps can be. The designers at Nudge used several stamps to complement the printed labels on these candles. By using the same printed label for each candle, they are able to use a custom rubber stamp to denote the scent of each candle. This is an awesome way to blend production methods and reduce custom packaging costs. They also used a rubber stamp on the cork stopper, giving it an intentionally organic and irregular finish. PipcornUsing custom rubber stamps for packaging is great—especially when you're just starting out. Pipcorn is a young company that used rubber stamps on their first run of packaging. The rubber stamp on a simple (and inexpensive) brown paper bag makes for a fun look that still feels polished. Pipcorn eventually went on to Shark Tank and now have a presence in retail stores around the country. Illegal BurgerMulti stamp madness! Using rubber stamps in your custom packaging doesn't mean you're limited in what you can do. This example from The Metric System shows how stamps can be used together to create engaging print effects. They used a larger stamp with red ink as a backing and then placed a smaller black stamp on top of it. This gives their custom packaging a high-end look without having to pay printing fees. Mr. Popple's ChocolateThis is another great example of using multiple stamps to differentiate products. The designers at KO Creative used a set of stamps to denote the different chocolate flavors and convey an organic feel to the overall packaging system. Best of all, the irregularities in stamp press and placement give each bar a unique, hand-crafted feel that strengthens their brand image. Curry Up NowIn packaging, simplicity speaks volumes. The designers from Design Womb used a custom rubber stamp on a brown paper bag to round out their design system for this SF-based Indian food truck. Ready to make a stamp for your own packaging?

I receive all kinds of inquiries about how to mount and use rubber stamps and since I have a new batch of stamps in the shop, I thought it would be fun to dedicate a post to some of my favorite tips and techniques for using rubber stamps (any kind of rubber stamps). Please note- I am not a traditional stamper- instead I am always looking to use my stamps in new and creative ways in my art and crafting projects! Since I use stamps for a variety of different projects I like to keep the mounting process simple and economic! In my opinion, you can pretty much mount a stamp to just about anything but I prefer acrylic blocks (you can see what you are doing better) and craft foam. These are the two materials that I use in my own stamping. I simply spray the back of the rubber stamp with spray mount. It gets the back side of the stamp nice and tacky and you are able to stick it to anything! Its also easy to peel off and switch out different designs. If I am working with clay I keep my stamps unmounted. I am obsessed with pattern and all of my stamp designs were created with pattern in mind! I like to fill a surface (my favorite is brown craft paper) by repeating and overlapping the different designs. This concept is perfect for creating wrapping paper, decorative paper or fabric. When you think of stamping you don't usually think of watercolors but you can get some really beautiful effects! I paint my color directly onto the stamp and then start stamping! Stamping into a wet surface will cause the design to bleed and it's beautiful! Stamping into a dry surface will get you a more clean print. There are all kinds of really cool inks out there for stamping and my favorite is permanent ink made for all surfaces. I love using this ink to create unique stamped accessories from a variety of materials (wood, plastic, metal). I love finding simple and unique surfaces to stamp on! Stamping on masking tape is such a great way to create your own decorative tape (but on a budget!). My parents are potters which means I have a special place in my heart for clay. Unmounted stamps can be used to create texture, pattern or an imprint in all kinds of clay projects. I think my favorite way to use stamps it to cut the designs out and turn then into something new. From tags to wreaths to garlands there are SO many different ways to craft with cut out stamps! To view all of my unmounted rubber stamps and my hand carved stamps you can visit my shop HERE!

2016 Topic 14: Colour Mixing Well hello everyone, Darcy here with a brand new topic. We have had a couple of exciting weeks, but now it is time to get back to our challenges. This time we are going to explore colour mixing. There are two ways to approach this subject, firstly the actual mixing of colours to create another colour; but also the mixing/placing of colours within a project. Of course colour has been used throughout history, with many civilisations experimenting with and developing pigments. The Egyptians used colours not just as decoration in their homes but also as cures for ailments. There are records showing the Chinese practiced colour healing too. These principles are still used today in colour/light therapy. As the modern era became more curious it was found out that when light passed through a prism it did not come out white but instead was split into 7 colours. We now know these as the Spectrum. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. Antony Galbraith It was Sir Isaac Newton who conducted these experiments and after joining the two ends of the spectrum into a spinning disc he effectively invented the colour wheel. Sonia Delaunay Colour has many positive uses, people work better when surrounded by certain colours. In hospitals they use soothing colours to help patients rest. Even cosmetic companies use colour therapy to determine which colours look best. You know yourself which colours look good on you, which ones you like to have in your house. We know instantly when certain colours or even shades of colour make us happy. Colours can be warm or cool, they can dominate or support, they can make you feel energised or restful. Part of this is predetermined by the colour, but some is also very personal to you. Humans are very good at knowing when something looks good or not quite right, or makes us feel happy or not, but often we just don't know why. Unless you understand a little about colour theory it can be difficult to pinpoint just why something appeals to us. Colour wheels are so very helpful, as are colour swatches and I would urge you to make samples of all of your paints, it saves so much time when choosing colours. The primary colours are Red,Blue and Yellow. These are designated as the primaries as they cannot be made by mixing any other colours. All other colours are derived from these three. Here you can see that when the primaries are mixed we end up with another 3 colours, Orange, Purple and Green, these are the secondary colours. Kate We recently saw the release of the new Everything Art stamp which handily has a couple of colour wheels all ready for you to colour in. You can have so much fun creating a number of combinations. Once you have your primary colours and secondary colours you can create the next level which are the 6 tertiary colours. Each of these is made by mixing one primary and one secondary together. Very quickly our wheel grows until we have the 12 colours of the wheel. From here the possibilities are endless, not only can you carry on mixing hues to create new ones you can also create tints, tones and shades. To tint a colour we lighten it, these colours are often called Pastels, and they are created by adding white. To create a shade, we add black, this darkens the colour. Now we can create tones, these are the most pleasing-to -the eye combinations. They are subtle and complex, as there are several stages of mixing involved. To achieve tones you need to add both black and white which of course is grey. Tones are very effective in altering the intensity of a colour. Achieving the right one for the job can be time consuming, and not a little frustrating. Get used to creating colour wheels, swatches and of course taking notes. Don't assume that you need equal parts of 2 colours, in fact what you are really creating are recipes. You can be very intuitive, add a dab of this and a dot of that, mix in a blob of something else and voila! you have your colour. Many happy accidents are created this way, but what if you want to recreate that colour? If you make notes about how big or how many your dabs and blobs are then you can make that colour again and again. There are many colour mixing books available, but really all you need is a chart that you can fill in as you go. So now you have your colours, and your mixed colours but how to use them? which colours will mix well within a project? This leads us to colour schemes. Monochromatic schemes use any tint, tone or shade of just one colour. In this example the tints, tones and shades have all come from red. Jen Mann Analogous schemes are made up of 3 colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel, One of these is a primary and the other two are secondaries or tertiaries. In this photo the analogous scheme is made up of blue, blue-green and green. Within this scheme you can also use any tints,shades or tones that result from these colours. Meg Duerksen Triadic schemes are made up of 3 colours that are equally spaced from each other on the wheel. Here we have blue, red and yellow. When you first think of those 3 colours you may think bright and clashing, but start to customise them with tints, tones and shades and suddenly they look perfect together. The next scheme is a Tetrad scheme, this consists of 4 colours from the wheel. There are two types of tetrad, one is a square, the corners of which land on 4 colours. The other tetrad is a rectangle, again the 4 corners land on 4 colours. This one is a rectangle tetrad, and it combines the tints,tones and shades of Yellow, Red, Violet and Green. Robin Mead Complementary schemes are also called harmonious schemes, these are all about opposites. Take one colour and combine it with the one that is the exact opposite on the wheel. A warning with this colour scheme though, while the opposite colours work brilliantly next to each other, if you try mixing paints that are opposites you will always get mud. So be careful, and let one colour dry before using the other one next to or over the top, that way you will see the harmony between the colours and not get mud. This is a beautiful abstract using blue and orange, these colours lie directly opposite each other on the wheel. Sharon Cummings Finally there are Split Complementary schemes. These are similar to the opposites above. This time take one colour then move across the wheel, but instead of using the exact opposite, take one colour from 'each side' of the one that is the direct opposite. So how do you do colour mixing with PaperArtsy Fresco paints... Frescos, of course, follow the same principles as explained above, however, as the colours are not arranged in the same way as traditional artist colours (quinacridones, Pthalos with the typical colour names) you end up with some very interesting results and a wider variety of colour options as you are starting from a different place than you would with traditional artist colours. This can be a very exciting process. We have a great post coming up this week from Liz Borer explaining how to do this in depth, but for now be aware that the translucent paints will behave differently from the opaque, and both offer up all kinds of combinations and options, brightness and vibrancy. We have always told you in basic terms that translucent paints are ideal for colouring in, as you do not lose the black stamped outline, however, translucent paints are also perfect for colour mixing. If you start with Glass Blue, Bougainvillea, and yellow submarine, mix those to make secondaries, then add nougat, chalk or other pale shades, you will get some stunning colour variations. Try the same with a deeper blue (Inky Pool), or Red (London Bus) and use Pumpkin Soup as your yellow the results will vary again. It is a great idea to keep charts of how you make these colours, then you can figure out how to get back to them again in the future. There are so many beautiful colour combinations, and so many pieces of art that showcase the schemes so well. This is a complementary scheme. Jilly M This is a split complementary scheme. Don Taylor Here is a monochromatic scheme. Rosie There is so much fun to be had with colour, experimenting with mixing paint but also learning which colours sit well with others. The more you play with colours the more you wil discover combinations that you would not normally reach for. Over the next 2 weeks we would love for you to try mixing your paints to create new colours, layer your translucents and learn which ones work and which ones don't, but also try out some of the colour schemes in your projects. Have fun! Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there! I am really looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 2 weeks!
