I couldn’t resist trying this again for Christmas. This time with cocktail size napkins from Italy and dinner and/or guest towel size napkins from Slovakia that I found at Ikea. After our anniversary party (the first time I tried stamping on napkins), one of our guests asked if you could get water on the napkins. That’s a very reasonable question, isn’t it? The answer is yes – for the most part. The metallic ink I used for the anniversary napkins didn’t run at all when I poured water on it and the red I used for these ran just a bit, but if you put your hand against either of those inks while the napkin or your hand was wet, you would pick up some ink. So maybe it’s not a good idea to stamp your paper guest towels for the bathroom. For cocktail and table use, you’re probably pretty safe. Anyway, it’s fun to see what a difference one simple graphic embellishment can make.
These are very cute. The woman who cuts my hair is a bit stamp person and creates some lovely cards with her stamping. There are so many interesting stamps and inks to play with.
Thanks JoAnn. Yes, rubber stamps are great – versatile, inexpensive, easy!
