Has anyone used a regular rubber stamp to stamp their CP?

It's off-line, I'm sad to say. :( It was on web space that came with our Cox package, and it expired around the new year. I'm actually working on a new/improved soap-bragging/blog-type site, but it's a little ways from being finished yet since I only work on it in my spare time.

In any case, this is the shape of the grooved, wooden door trim that I bought at Lowe's to use as my soap dishes:

Door Trim

I just cut into 4" lengths, sanded it down and sealed with wood sealer.


IrishLass :)
 
Holy cow! wood composite trim as a soap dish? that's brilliant! thanks, but I would still like to see your soaps, too!
 
I pick rubber stamps from dollar store near me and it works fine
Here is the example, of course plastic ones would be better, but for $2 stamp, i think it's ok

you gave me an idea reading through these posts - my daughter loves embossing, i.e. stamping with special ink then sprinkling with embossing powder and gently blowing with a heat gun to melt the embossing powder.

i tried it out on my honey soap and it wasn't too bad - i did it with a rainbow embossing powder and it even stayed on through hand washing 5 or 6 times.

as irishlass said above, you need a fairly simple stamp and a smooth surface but i just thought i'd throw this in the pot since we all seem to have creative things other that soap in common....... :lol:
 
I've seen some even more impressive but I couldn't find the link. I know a member posted a link to her site and she had some gorgeous ones. Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was; otherwise I could probably find her site. I know there were several discussions about stamping, decorating and painting soap but sadly those are gone now. It's sickening that so much info has been lost. I sure hope they can recover it.

eta: I know soap queen did a tutorial on stamping soaps. I think she did it with mica. Anyway, you could probably find lots of links if you google.
