Product Review: Personalized Stamps from Three Designing Women

handmade

Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a stamper, Three Designing Women’s personalized stamps are a must-have for any crafty gal. These handy stamps are super easy to use and can be personalized with your name, address, and whatever other details you want. The “Handmade for You” design featured above is perfect for adding a personal touch to your cards, homemade gifts, and any DIY party favors.

Speaking of parties, Three Designing women stamps feature a revolutionary removable plate. This means you can use several different stamp designs with just one base. Check out the “Let’s Party” invitation I made below, using my Three Designing Women stamp and a few supplies from the dollar section at Michaels. I can’t wait till Christmas so I can use one of their holiday stamps to make my cards and gift tags! (There are also several cute baby themed stamps, if you are planning any baby-related projects in the near future.)

By default, your all-in-one stamp base comes with black ink. However, if you’re looking for a little more color, you can buy ink pads that can be changed out just as you swap out the removable plates to change your stamp design. If your main complaint about stamping is that it’s just too messy, this is the system for you! (It’s also a great choice if you have a small craft room, since this system takes up less space than traditional wood-mounted rubber stamps and standalone ink pads.)

If you’re looking for a sweater knitting pattern that uses up some of your stash and allows you to make just the sweater you want, the Marlina Rib by Shay Johson might be just the thing.

It’s worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together to make a DK weight gauge, so you can use the same two yarns throughout or change one or both regularly for an even more colorful look.

The pattern has options to make it either a crewneck or a henley style with buttons, tapered or relaxed sleeves, and a straight hemline or a split hem with buttons (which sounds so cute if you do the henley with split hem and match the buttons on both parts).

It’s also knit from the top down so you can make the body and the sleeves as long as you want. There are 10 sizes available in the pattern, with a chest circumference ranging from 32 to 68 inches, or 81.5 to 172.5 cm. It’s meant to be worn with 4-6 inches/10-15 cm of positive ease at the chest.

The pattern page on Ravelry includes tons of measurements and yardage estimates so you can make sure you’ll get a good fit for your body before you even buy the pattern. Shay also shows a few variations of the sweater so you can see how different options look before you decide how you want to put them together.

The stitch pattern is 1×2 ribbing, which is really easy to do and gives a look almost like fisherman’s rib that’s relaxed and easy to wear.

This sweater looks like a great option for people who are somewhat new to sweater knitting or those who love to have lots of customization options (because it’s like getting multiple sweater patterns in one!).

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself at Ravelry.
