HOW TO USE A WAX SEAL STAMP WITH A GLUE GUN
Using a glue gun for wax stamping is a fun and efficient way to be creative and add a personalised touch to your stationery. Glue gun stamping is perfect if you're stamping more than one seal at a time, as it's much faster than using a candle & spoon. We definitely recommend this method for batch wax stamping such as wedding or event invitations. A glue gun also allows more control of the wax, making it easier to achieve a perfect seal.
HOW TO USE SELF-ADHESIVE SEALS

Wax seal stickers offer a convenient and modern take on the ancient art of wax sealing. Whether you've bought wax seal stickers or created them yourself with a traditional wax stamp, using self-adhesive wax seals is incredibly easy. Follow our simple 3-step guide to learn how to make the perfect wax seal sticker.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEALING WAX

At Heirloom Seals, we are just a little obsessed with all things wax! We're well aware that this is a whole new world for some though which is why we're breaking down the various types of sealing wax you can choose from to create beautiful wax seals with your custom wax stamps. 

HOW TO USE SEALING WAX BEADS

Beaded wax is one of the more traditional wax types but surprisingly easy to use. We love this particular type of wax for the creative freedom that it gives - it's perfect for wedding and party invitations, cards, envelopes, gifts and even scrapbooking. This simple step-by-step guide shows you how to use wax beads to create beautiful and unique wax seals.

HOW TO MAKE WAX SEAL STICKERS
Our preferred method of stamping in the studio, the quickest way to create multiple wax seals at once is to use a glue gun. You can stamp, peel the dried wax seal directly off the silicone mat, add an adhesive sticker and use it on whatever surface you prefer. So there's no pressure of wasting that nice envelope by accidentally messing up your stamping!

RUSTIC BARN WEDDING

We love a rustic themed wedding anyway, but this old barn against the mountain backdrop is just fabulous. The flower arrangements of pink, peach and burnt orange are to die for.

Tan leather accessories for the guys pair perfectly with the warm tones of autumn.
