thecandlespastore Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I got the stamp for free at owossographic.com. They guarantee that you will love your first stamp so much they give it to you free! I only paid $2.85 shipping. Its a magnesium die, debossed, mounted on a wood. Quite lovely!Please excuse the photography, not my best:Vintage Original Musk:The Vert:Dynamic Duo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Forgot to add that I used Raspberry Pop and blueberry pop for the Vintage soap. Still trying to decide if I like a beveled soap or a non beveled soap. I have always beveled but lately I love the crisp edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I like the LOOK of non-beveled, and the feel of beveled. I think with the word "natural" non looks more "right" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Those are gorgeous, the stamp looks great! I'm on the fence about beveling these days. I love crisp lines and the "natural" look~ but beveling makes them look neat and polished. However, so damn time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I like non, but I have to bevel mine or hubby won't use them. Cool stamp!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Very pretty. I love that green swirl! The stamp is cool too I didn't bevel much on the first few batches, but discovered in using them months later that the edge can be sharp and uncomfortable :undecidedI thought about ordering one of those stamps a couple years ago but had NO idea what kind works best...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Great looking impression the stamp leaves! Beautiful soaps too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ok yours turned out great. I have 2 stamps from them and have rendered 2 batches unsellable cause the stamp messed it up when I was lifting it back off the soap. I just couldn't get the timing right:angry2:Beautiful soaps, and I like NON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks:cheesy2: I stamp when the soap is at least hard enough so when I press into it I cant leave an imprint with my finger. I also water discount, so I don't know if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It looks great and it is so cool to see soaps stamped.I looked at their site, which one did you choose? The freebie comes with 3 choices, which is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Magnesium, debossed on wood. I believe I picked 3/4". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Magnesium, debossed on wood. I believe I picked 3/4".Nope, choices are 11 point, 1/4" and 3/8" I think it's how thick the actual impression will be, but not sure. I figured I just wont press as hard and chose the 3/8". Then remembered I don't have the file ready to upload... maybe tomorrow I'll have time to make it...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livelovebath Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I just want to say that those are some lovely soaps! I love the pop colours I cant wait to finally use some of mine!!! Maybe this afternoon.... I just wanted to also say that when I emailed the company they said this: "We recommend using a ¼” magnesium stamp mounted on a wood block" Now that being said I havent ordered my stamp yet or used it .. thats just what they said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychels Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ok yours turned out great. I have 2 stamps from them and have rendered 2 batches unsellable cause the stamp messed it up when I was lifting it back off the soap. I just couldn't get the timing right:angry2:Beautiful soaps, and I like NON.I've had the same problem with mine. I have some swirlies in my logo and its hard to get it just right! I love it but its frustrating! Beautiful soaps Z!! Your stamp looks great!! Love it.. I'm the same, on the fence about beveling, I like the look of both and beveling IS so time consuming..Lately I've been leaning more towards non beveled.
