Part 3 Charm Factory Metal Clay Stamp Test - Video! by York Avenue Studio

So now that I've received my new Signature Stamp from the Charm Factory, here is my very own Testing Demo Video!

In case you didn't catch my previous post on this product review, I've been selected as a tester for a new product by The Charm Factory.

 

After I was contacted, we exchanged ideas on my logo design for the stamp.  The stamp is about the size of a thumbnail, 1/2 inch circle.  My logo is a little too complex to be that tiny, so I suggested a simple street sign with "York Ave".  Here is my logo and a preview of this idea:

I was pleased, but not completely thrilled that the stamp for my jewelry would be so simple and plain.  It was a wonderful stamp and I would use it, but I wished there was more detail.  Well, I am thrilled with what happened next! 

Here is what the stamp would look like in metal clay:

I drew a smaller version of my logo and played with the words and the picture and came up with an idea with more detail, but not so much that it wouldn't be recognizable as a stamp.  I sent the sketch to the Charm Factory for their input.

The Charm Factory responded very quickly with the following version of my logo sketch, which is the final design for my new stamp!  I am so thrilled with how professional the design looks and how wonderful the Charm Factory is to work with.  They truly put such effort into making my stamp look like MY stamp!

I've had a chance to use my new stamp with some silver metal clay and I made a little video to show you all! 

 

From the product testing that I conducted using the Signature Stamp from the Charm Factory, I’ve discovered three possible ways to use my new stamp. 

 

1.  This stamp, used with a light touch, will stamp my logo very clearly on the back of my designs.  The stamp is very easy to use and leaves a super clear imprint of my logo with tiny words.  Amazing!

 

2.  My design includes a circle around the logo.  I found, by happy accident, that if I press firmly, the stamp cuts the circle out of the clay around my logo.  This makes perfect little jewelry tags!  I can put a small hole in the cutout and include this tag in my beaded jewelry.

 

3.  The little cutout circles can also be used to gently layer my logo onto the back of a delicate piece that a stamp would otherwise crush the design on the opposite side.  The logo cutout can be set into place with slip or paste and results in a little raised logo circle.

 

Without further ado.........

 

 

 

I am so pleased with this new tool and I hope that my testing results will help anyone deciding whether they want to order one for themselves.  I also hope that when you design your logo, you will consider whether you want the circle outline or not.

 

Please leave a comment below.  I would be very interested in what you think about my logo design and the Signature Stamps from the Charm Factory.
