You are purchasing/receiving the right (in the form of a Personal Use License) to use Red Rubber Designs paper and images/sentiments for your personal crafting use.  You are NOT buying the illustration/design itself and have no other rights in association with Red Rubber Designs paper and images.

We welcome artists who’d like to use our paper and stamp images/sentiments in their own hand-stamped craftwork that they produce to sell. Therefore, we give permission in the form of a limited license to use any Red Rubber Designs paper and stamp images/sentiments for the purpose of creating craftworks for sale, under the following criteria:

What you can do with our designs:

> The projects are not mass-produced, assembly-line constructed, produced by workers for hire, or syndicated in any way.

> You can upload projects that incorporate Red Rubber Designs paper and images to your blog and other internet venues. Red Rubber Designs encourages you to watermark your projects before uploading to any internet venue in order to help protect your work.

What you may NOT do with our designs:

> You may not sell or distribute Red Rubber Designs paper and images/sentiments, plain or colored, in either physical or digital form if they are not part of your handmade project. Only Red Rubber Designs has the legal right to sell and/or distribute our paper and images.

Please do not redistribute (emailing, sharing, copying, duplicating or reselling) any of our paper designs and images/sentiments. We always appreciate referrals to our website so that your friends and family can purchase their own copy.

We are a small, woman-owned business and this is how we make our living for our family and ourselves. When people share our paper and images that is potential income that we lose. (Plus, it’s illegal.) We appreciate your support!
