DIY Custom Napkins: How to Use Rubber Stamps for Table Settings

How to Use a Custom Rubber Stamp to Make Beautiful Napkins

When entertaining, it’s often the smallest details that leave the most lasting impression. A thoughtfully placed flower arrangement, a carefully folded linen, or a charming napkin can speak to the care and creativity of the host. One of my favorite ways to add that extra layer of beauty to a table setting is with custom-stamped napkins.

Best of all, this simple project requires no bulk orders, no excessive expense, just a lovely custom rubber stamp, a good ink pad, and your choice of napkins. In just a few minutes, you can create something personal, polished, and entirely your own.

Why Rubber Stamps Are Ideal for Napkin Customization

A custom rubber stamp is a versatile tool you’ll reach for again and again. With a single design, you can create napkins suited to every kind of gathering. Whether it’s an intimate brunch, a holiday dinner, or a festive birthday celebration. Because the stamp is reusable, it becomes a staple in your entertaining toolkit, ready to be brought out for each new occasion.

Endless Possibilities for Every Celebration

Your stamp can be tailored to the theme and season of your event:

• Coastal Charm: A delicate seashell for a breezy summer picnic.

• Harvest Table: A pumpkin or autumn leaf for Thanksgiving dinner.

• Timeless Romance: Your initials or monogram for an anniversary.

• Playful Fun: A whimsical illustration for a children’s party.

With just one thoughtful design, you can bring your napkins from functional to delightful! It’s a small gesture that reflects your personal style and makes any table feel more special!

Lobster Buoy Pops for a Shell-abration! 🦞🍫

 

When planning a special celebration, the little details make all the difference, especially when it comes to party favors! For my parents’ unforgettable 50th anniversary shell-abration, I paired handcrafted charm with coastal sweetness by combining delicious chocolate made by Buoy Pops with custom handmade lobster tags!

The chocolates, made by the talented team at Buoy Pops, are shaped like miniature lobster buoys and wrapped in bold nautical colors, red, white, and blue. Each one was tied with a ribbon and topped with a custom red lobster tag.

These lobster-themed favors were a huge hit with our guests and made the celebration feel extra thoughtful and festive. The combination of gourmet chocolate and handmade design brought our coastal theme to life in the sweetest way.

Whether you’re hosting a lobster boil, beach party, nautical wedding, or coastal anniversary celebration, this favor idea is a fun way to add a personal and handmade touch.

Happy 50th, Mom & Dad! 🦞💙

Shark Week at Britt Lauren Stamps

Featuring our not‑so‑fearless mascot, Cosmo the golden retriever!

Just a pup…
🐶🦩 living his best life in a flamingo float…
☀️ soaking up the sun…
🎶 bouncin’ to the beat…

Until…
😳 DUN DUN… DUN DUN…

Let’s just say… Cosmo stamped out real quick. 💦

But that’s the magic around here, one splash of imagination and suddenly we’re swimming in ideas.!

Fin-tastic things you can do with our shark designs:

• Address stamps that bite (in the cutest way) for party invites or summer happy mail.

• Thank-you tags & favor bags for Shark Week watch parties.

• Teacher/parent reward stamps—because even spelling tests can be jaw-some.

• Notecards & list pads for ocean-obsessed kiddos (and grown-ups).

• Scrapbook pages & journals—document every “DUN DUN” moment.

Cosmo may prefer flamingo floats to great whites, but he’ll happily introduce you to every design in the sea (and yup… sharks too. 🦈)

Dive in, ink up, and let your mailbox (and lesson plans and gift wrap and notebooks) make a splash with Britt Lauren Stamps!

Sweet & Simple Spring Grazing Charcuterie Packaging

Sweet & Simple Easter Grazing Boxes

This Easter, I wanted to make something fun for the kids in my family that felt a little extra. Something simple but still special from my family. These little grazing boxes came together so easily, and they ended up being one of my favorite things to make this Spring season.

They’re packed in pastel egg cartons and filled with all the treats I know the kids love. They’re cute, easy to assemble, and just joyful to give.

Here’s what I tucked inside:

• One Choceur Chocolate Egg with Spoon, Milk Crème – Okay, this one is a star. It’s a creamy milk chocolate egg that comes with its own tiny spoon. I couldn’t resist stamping YUM right on the spoon. Just a little touch, but it made it feel so fun. I put candy grass on the bottom too!

• Chocolate eggs and gummy bunnies for some extra candy yum!

• Cheese stars and yogurt-covered pretzels for a little salty balance

• Fresh blackberries – because I always like to add something juicy and real and the kids in my family love blackberries! You can add other berries like raspberries, strawberries. 

• And right on top? The sweetest little bunny tail sticker. It made the whole thing feel playful and pulled together

And because I can’t help myself, I stamped Happy Easter inside each carton lid. It took two seconds but made it feel so personal.

Let’s talk about the stamps

Rubber stamps are one of my favorite ways to make something feel thoughtful. They're easy to use and instantly add that homemade charm.

Whether you're packaging up treats for your kids, neighbors, or customers, a custom stamp adds a little joy. It says, “I put love into this.” And that’s what makes something memorable.

They’re quick to make, super customizable, and just fun. You can tailor them to whatever snacks your little ones love most, and they’re perfect for Easter baskets, school gifts, or even as a sweet surprise on the breakfast table.

Sometimes, it really is the simple things that bring the most joy. A yummy chocolate egg. A box filled with tiny surprises. That’s the kind of happy I want to hold on to. Happy Spring friends!

Why Rubber Stamps Are an Eco-Friendly Favorite

 

Happy Earth Day! Today, we celebrate our beautiful planet and reflect on how our everyday choices can make a positive impact. At Britt Lauren Stamps, caring for the Earth is close to our hearts. We believe that creativity can go hand in hand with sustainability, and we put that belief into practice by using materials that are kind to the planet. Our rubber stamps are crafted from renewable resource red rubber and our self-inking stamps are made from post-consumer recycled plastic. When you pick a stamp made from renewable resources and use it for years, you’re quietly reducing your footprint!

A Low Waste Creative Tool

One of the wonderful things about rubber stamps is how reusable they are. A single stamp can make thousands of impressions over its lifetime. Instead of using disposable stickers or endless sheets of printed labels, one trusty stamp can personalize cards, gift bags, or mail over and over without generating excess waste. There’s no need to throw anything away. Just ink your stamp and press. Simplicity :)

Using stamps also encourages creative reuse of materials. You can transform recycled paper, old newspaper, or scrap fabric into something beautiful with a pretty stamp design. With a bit of imagination, that piece of scrap paper becomes a lovely gift tag, and a plain cardboard box turns into charming personalized packaging. Rubber stamps let us breathe new life into items that might otherwise be discarded, keeping waste down and creativity up!

So as a mom, a maker, and a believer in keeping things simple and meaningful, I love that stamping is both purposeful and playful. On this Earth Day, let’s celebrate the ways creativity can serve the planet. One little impression at a time.

From my hands to yours,
Happy Earth Day!

New Rectangle Paw Print Stamps: Because One Size Doesn’t Fit All!

 

At Britt Lauren Stamps, we love giving you choices that match your unique style—so we’re excited to announce that our popular Paw Print Signature Stamps now come in two different layouts: Square AND Rectangle!

Why Offer Both Layouts?

We understand that one layout doesn’t always work for every project or pet owner. Sometimes a square layout is just right for a compact and neat design, while other times, a rectangular layout gives you a wider, more unique look that better suits your needs. Now, you have the freedom to choose!

• Square Paw Print Stamp: The classic, compact design that works perfectly for smaller paw prints or those who prefer a traditional look.

• Rectangular Paw Print Stamp: A fresh, spacious design that gives you more flexibility and room to play with your pet’s paw print. Ideal for those who want to make a statement or add more details.

How to Choose Between Square or Rectangular?

• For smaller paws or tight spaces: The square layout is perfect if you want a neat, tidy impression that fits in small areas like cards, labels, and tags.
• For larger prints or more space: The rectangular layout is great if you want to showcase your pet’s paw print in a bigger, bolder way. Plus, it gives you a little more room to personalize!

Two Layouts, Endless Possibilities

Having both layouts means you don’t have to settle on one. Whether you need something small and simple or a more spacious and striking design, we've got you covered. You can mix and match depending on your project needs, or even try both for different uses!
