Stamps are great for making custom cards and there are many ways to make your own. One popular way to make custom rubber stamps is to carve out the desired shape using a rubber eraser as a base, or using some common house hold items like the small eraser on the end of a pencil. Also, you can use a potato by cutting it in half and carving a shape into it, or use small foam stickers glued to some kind of base like a bottle cup.
