I use old paper swatches/samples to make cards at the beginning of each month for birthdays… I am a serious furniture-phile… especially the Eames.
I would make some super cool cards. I have never seen stamps like these. I would love to win.
Time. No longer would I spend hours and hours trolling through cben.net ‘s utterly unorganized database of CAD blocks in the hunt for that perfect block. A block would fit so well into the section of my building. Anything by Charles and Ray has a spot waiting for it in my drawings.
The possibilities are endless!
I would need to get my hands on them first, then let the my mind take it from there.
Well, since my son is having his first birthday in October and he already has some Eames related images in his room already, http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5907002
these would be great for the invitations I am planning to make. And thank you notes of course too.
I’m in need of window treatments on my condo’s patio doors, and I’m thinking a wonderful sheer, shimmery fabric with a border of these stamped shapes would be great, plus guests may or may not see the corelation between the shape on the drapes, and the Eames Lounge sitting 4 feet away!
My grandchildren would just love this prize.
Thanks for all the great contests and prizes!
I would love to print one on a beautiful piece of paper and frame it in a thick black frame. I love these!
I moved like a week ago and my new home is not look very sweet. I would use the stamps to make my house a little nicer. My creativity should help the try.
cards, wrapping paper, scrapbooking
I want to win it for my son so that he can make whatever he wants.
I’m thinking I’ll decorate some plain wooden frames that I have with these nifty stamps.
I would make lots and lots of gift tags, then give them away at my holiday parties as favors. Then all my friends could bring the spirit of good design to their holiday packages!
I’ve added this contest to my Crafty Contests page as well!
I would make cards, add embellishments to enevelopes
to an interior design student, the work of charles and ray eames is iconic. nothing will be safe from being stamped, NOTHING! …but i’m thinking home-made wrapping paper and cards, framed prints and some experimentation on fabric to start.
Hi, I will press them on post’its, don’t you also think post’its are a bit yellow!
#1: framed art for our living room…and probably enough to distribute to friends whether they want it or not. then i’d move on to cards, envelopes, anything i could get my hands on…
i’d stamp with them the wall in my bedroom that my bed is against in the style of those repeative patterned wallpapers.
and take photos of it.
i would decorate letters to my friends in faraway places… matching them to the new eames postage stamps, of course!
Sweet! My wife and I just moved into our first (mid-century) home and these stamps would be perfect to use for our “We’ve Moved (in style)” cards.
Those would be awesome for small framed art to use in places like hallways or the kitchen.
Since my wife and I are thinking about looking to buy a condo, we also could use them like Scott suggested above…
I would make cards and invites. Love them!
I do handmade collage/stamped Christmas cards and gift wrap every year. These would seriously ramp them up – something along the lines of “have a timeless new year.”
i would make the hours pass using these with the kids
I would use them to make cards and to scrapbook.
I’d make homemade stationary (envelopes & paper) to send to my friends & family.
I love these stamps! I would stamp a design in the corner of white paper cocktail napkins and host a party to celebrate my prize!
I would take each stamp and stamp myself in unusual places and then let people vote on which one they would most like to see tattooed on me and where. (thats dedication…)
exciting. I would document the entire expierience in beautiful photographs so that everyone could see.
Love to use these in mixed media art work.

on note paper
I would use a subtle color and stamp them on my walls around the shelves that house my miniature chair collection.
I would make a thank you card to send you for winning such a fantastic prize!
I would totally give these to my kids for scrapbooking!
To be honest my daughter would get the most use out of them as she just loves to stamp stuff. I like to use stamps to make cards, etc. because I am terrible at drawing.

i love them! i would stamp cards and make artwork. and my kids would have the best stamp art projects with them.
These are so cool! My daughter is in charge of crafts at her church. So, the kids could use these to make any number of things, cards, posters, etc. Thanks for the contest.
i’d use them for cards
First, I would make “We’ve moved” postcards to announce my new address. Then I would make a set of thank you notes for all of the wonderful mid-century house warming gifts my friends have been giving me. After that I would set the box on the bookshelf next to my Eames for Herman Miller chairs and rest.
I’d love to scrapbook my kids baby books. But my daughter is very crafty. She would probably steal them from me. Thanks for the great contest!
I would use them to print on fabric and sew cute and quirky clothes and accessories with them……
hmmm…*drools* eames printed shoulderbag with matching eames printed leather pumps in contrasting colours…..*end of drooling*
why, i’d decorate some textiles with it, and sew myself a throw pillow and cushion for the dcw!
I´d use them to stamp my ordinary chair to get a real eames chair
have a nice day!
wrapping paper and gift cards for sure…what a great prize…THANKS
oh my gosh! it’s like a mini chair collection…but for CRAFTERS!! i’m in love!!!
i have a passion for rubber stamps.
i would make address labels, to balance out the eames stamps i’ll be using until my (big) stash runs out!
I’d probably use them as hand stamps for our next Tiki Room party and where both your cocktail your seating priority is determined by which chair stamp you received.
