A DIFFERENT WAY TO STAMP

so...seems that imprinting is very popular right now...you know...gives it that touch 'o class...well...i figured out a way to do it...with using some items from the hardware store...what?...you don't shop for craft supplies there?...

anywho...i give you the poor man's letterpress!...the "thank you" is stamped in there!...

 
all you need is a hammer and steel stamps like these!...figure out what you want to say...and pound away!...

now you can really make an impression with your cards!...make 'em look all fancy schmancy!...
