that is the same font as the sprinkles thickers??
that includes the numbers??
i really just need the numbers.
i'm in the process of making an album that will be added to over the years, and i love that font, but don't want to use the thickers in case they stop producing them in 2 years. the year will be stamped on every page, so i really just need the number stamps.
thanks!

Would it possible somehow for you to turn the Thickers themselves into stamps? Maybe try inking up the bottoms of them and press onto paper and see how good an image you get?

sorta.
i think i'm going to have to play with it a little more tomorrow.
i think that i need to find a way to get all the sticky off of the sticker.
the ink didn't stick very well at all, and i think that's the reason.
maybe tomorrow i'll go pick up some undo and try it again.
or maybe just nail polish remover will work...

try just peeling the sticker off and using the chipboard underneath. if you carefully peel up the edge, it should just peel right off. i adhere most of the chipboard thickers that way because the adhesive they have on them isn't that great. :)

It may not work since the CB has no give and I'm not sure the cb will hold the ink long enough to give a good impression w/o soaking up your ink. you could use paint. But maybe you could trace the letters onto a piece of craft foam, cut that out and use it as a stamp.
I do that all the time when I need only a few letters of a font. Best part is they are reuseable or you could toss them since craft foam is soooo cheap. Works great w/ die cuts too.

the craft foam (or rubber of some sort) is a good idea. definately would last longer.
another thing that came to mind was to scan the alpha and print&cut as you need the numbers. a little more time consuming and wouldnt look as good as a nice stamp imo.

i'll have to try to foam.
the sprinkles font that i have is the vinyl thicker, so i don't know if i could just peel the adhesive off or not.
i may just adhere the foam to my page instead, to give it some dimension.
i was just wanting the stamps because i have a lot of pages that will need '200-' and didn't want to buy 34082304820834 packages of thickers at $5 a pop.
what is my deal with thicker numbers lately...lol

They use industry fonts for most of their stuff, so you could track down the font and use it if you can find it.

Wow there are lots of great ideas here!
You know, you COULD like, scan/print out the image of the package, ,then cut it out of some PP on top of some chipboard (for dimension)... oooOOOooo
Man o man. What great ideas!
I really do love the idea of making your own stamp with craft foam though!
You could get the repositionable sticky and put it on there, and then put it on an acrylic block! You could make the WHOLE set that way! and then, you'll never have to buy it again!
You could stamp it anywhere!
OMG. THEN you could like... cut out the center's of the #'s and letter's and just make it the OUTLINES oh gosh. *inhale* Im excited for you!
