I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about the rubber stamp used on the Wine Cork place card (in DIY Bride book 1 and the magazine). I love that stamp – as do many of you. Unfortunately, the manufacturer discontinued that design right around the time the book was released and it is no longer available. Boo, hiss. (For those interested, the project was created 5 years ago for the first DIY Bride book that was published in 2007. My publishers have re-published some of book #1′s projects in the bookazine on newsstands right now which is why some of the info is out of date. Also: I have zero control over manufacturers’ decisions to retire their products. Sorry, lovelies!) The good news is that I’ve found a few stamps that would make suitable substitutions for that design.
- Paper-Source.Com has a nice grape (http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/Grape-Bunch-Rubber-Stamp/2901.025/871428.html) and a nice vine ( http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/Vines-Rubber-Stamp/2901.010/871539.html ) stamp.
- Hero Arts has a few stamps that I like for this project: http://heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=CG173&subCat=A02, http://heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=CG174&subCat=A02, and http://heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=K5405&subCat=A03
