Intro:  The Stamp Factory is just plain FUN!  It is the perfect solution for repetitive stamping because not only are your stamps all lined up together, you don't have to stop and re-ink between stamps!!  Just push, push, push ... as many times as you'd like.  As soon as I got my hands on it, I knew it would knock out homemade wrapping paper in a flash.  I never seem to have the right gift wrap on hand and always have to come up with clever alternatives. Plus, presents are extra special when they are uniquely wrapped.  For this reason, I always keep a roll of butcher paper on hand for a neutral base. 

Here I stamped the same images onto dark paper with silver ink and kraft butcher paper with brown ink for two completely different effects.  To easily add a ton of color pop to the stamped images, I used my anywhere eyelet setter set to punch out all of the circle details and layered the wrapping paper over my gift pre-wrapped with colorful tissue paper.  While I had out the birthday stamps, I stamped another image onto several different cardstocks to piece together a gift card with bling!
