Start a rubber stamping birthday party and event business - This is an easy business to kick off too, although it might take some time to build at first because you have to get the word out and then wait for birthday or events to come up.

Offer to entertain the kids at birthday parties (and other events) with your crafting camps and charge per person for your services.

Sell your projects on the Internet - Craft your cards and scrap pages and sell them directly on ebay or create your own website for selling. Make sure you check with the rubber stamp manufacturers to insure that you are not violating any copyrights when you use their images to sell your cards. Take some high quality photos to show off your work or work directly with your customers via your own website to do customized and special project work. The possibilities really are endless.

That is just a brief list of ways to make money with your rubber stamping addiction. If you love to scrapbook too the possibilities of adding scrapbooking services to your portfolio of work can really increase your reach as well. Be bold and get your work into the hands of your potential clients. Before you know it, you?ll be in business!
