DIY Tutorial: Rubber Stamp Photo Card Save the Dates

DIY Tutorial: Rubber Stamp Photo Card Save the Dates:

It’s the ladies of Anti­quaria, back with another fab­u­lous and cre­ative DIY project for you!  This week they’re here with some awe­some DIY photo card save the dates!


Need a fabulous and unique way to incorporate your engagement shoot into your save the date?  We’ve got the solution for you: hand stamped photo save the date cards!  We are constantly inspired by all the wonderful engagement shoots that folks are putting together these days, and wanted to find a way to incorporate that imagery with rubber stamps.  We think the results are truly adorable and your family and friends will love receiving a sweet photo of the two of you.

photo step1 550x352


Step One: Cut paper to a size A9 card (5.5″ x 8.5″).  Use photo corners (our most recent obsession) to secure your (3″ x 5″) photo to the card.  You just stick them on each corner to activate and the adhesive, center over the paper and press down to secure.


photo step2 550x352


Step Two: This step will take two stamps, a monogram (we used our ribbons & banners monogram) and a website stamp (we used our calligraphy accent website stamp).  Ink each stamp thoroughly, position and stamp down on a hard, even surface.  Let dry.

Step Three: Cut paper to (4″ x 4.5″).  Ink a save the date stamp (we used our “Circus” save the date stamp) and make print on a hard surface.  Make sure when stamping, you apply moderate and even pressure over the entire stamp.  Let dry before assembly.

Albertine Press’ 2012 letterpress wall calendar will take you on a trip around the world, and you’ll have postcards to send to your friends and family when you’re done. Every month features an original sketch from a different city in the USA and around the world, and when you’re ready to flip the page, cut along the dotted line and you’ve got a ready-to-mail postcard.


Featured cities include Amsterdam, Philadelphia, Austin, Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Chicago, Paris and Rio.  And Shelley from Albertine is featuring each city with photos of the inspiration that led her to design each month, so be sure to head over and check those out.

I’ve been a big fan of Anke Weckmann’s work for a while, and I’m so jazzed to see that she has a calendar for the coming year. Loving all of the wonderful, colorful illustrations.

Parrott Design Studio’s 2012 calendar features three of their favorite things: letterpress, calligraphy, and dip-dyed paper. Each page has been dip-dyed by hand, letterpress printed, and each month was calligraphed by hand by Sarah Parrott. The result is absolutely beautiful.
