How a Sterling Silver Charm or Copper Sheet turns into a trinket. Stamping made easy."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>You know you want to stamp something! \ud83d\ude42 Like a sterling silver charm, copper sheet, gold sheet or piece of brass. Stamping is not so bad once you give it a whack. Stamping is a great way to create some cute art, convey a message, make something unique, or make ordinary simple things stand out.<\/p>\n<p>So go stamp something &#8211; or at least after you read this wonderful tutorial you just might. This is certainly great for people who want to get into stamping or, better yet, those of you &#8220;other&#8221; folks who work with metal and thought &#8230; no&#8230; nope&#8230; not for me.<\/p>\n<p>However, the good thing about anything new though is, at least if you give it a go &#8211; you can say you tried it and it just isn&#8217;t your thing. But I think everyone should at least learn &#8216;How&#8217; to stamp their stuff.<\/p>\n<p>There are many creative ways to put stamping in place. Obviously, many people base their whole project on stamping itself. They are the hard core stampers. They stamp everything! They&#8217;d even stamp their kids if they could. Of course, you can&#8217;t so, don&#8217;t even try it.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to metal projects, maybe you just want to stamp your signature, a date, something that has meaning, some notes or incorporate it as part of the design. You can design something that is based on forging or even sand casting but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t stamp it! One thing is for sure, stamping is fun. It could be a project in between a project or a simple small piece that turns into a gift or even a new line of jewelry you never thought you&#8217;d do. All you really need to start is a hammer and a stamp set with a sharpie.<\/p>\n<p>So what are you waiting for go out and stamp something!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stamping with Happy Hour Projects\" href=\"http:\/\/www.happyhourprojects.com\/2012\/04\/jewelry-stamping.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.happyhourprojects.com\/2012\/04\/jewelry-stamping.html<\/a><br \/>\nThis tutorial was so nicely posted by Adrianne from Happy Hour Projects.
