"It's Tough to Write by Yourself, But a 'Calligraphy-Style Rubber Stamp' is Convenient*"

Recently Popular "Calligraphy".
The art of writing beautifully, "calligraphy." It would be wonderful to be able to write fluid cursive letters by yourself for wedding paper items such as place cards and invitations ♡
Recently, calligraphy classes have also become popular, and I believe there are many people who think, "I want to be able to write it myself!" *
Calligraphy on Rubber Stamps ♡
That said, it can be quite challenging for beginners to suddenly master calligraphy. Just as it is difficult to write familiar Japanese with calligraphy, starting calligraphy from a state of not being able to write cursive letters at all is a monumental task…!
For those who think, "I want to use calligraphic items, but it seems difficult to write them myself," I recommend using calligraphy rubber stamps *
If you carve a rubber stamp with calligraphy yourself, it has a warmth of being handwritten (carved), unlike printed text ♡
Once you create one, you can stamp it repeatedly, making it perfect for thank you tags and wedding logos ♩
How to Make Calligraphy Rubber Stamps *
Making calligraphy rubber stamps is almost the same as the basic method of making rubber stamps.
① Print calligraphy-style fonts on tracing paper and trace them onto the rubber.
Since rubber stamps will appear reversed when stamped, make sure to print the reversed version in advance when tracing ♩
