ABOUT BLOCK PRINTED DESIGNS: This is a print you can only get here! That's because Saundra LaBell Designs hand carves original designs into linoleum or rubber to create a one-of-a-kind stamp. Using water-based ink that is better for baby and the environment than plastic/vinyl, each item it then individually stamped by hand. The process means even prints among the group of items are never exactly alike. Some items show a deeper color image, while others show more of a vintage or “distressed” look. This is due to the pressure used to press the stamp into the fabric. It's never exactly the same (I'm not a machine, people!). A greater level of distress in a print does not mean it won’t last as long. All prints are allowed to set for at least 24 hours before being heat-cured at a very high temperature. This insures the ink is more fully integrated into the actual fabric of the item and will hold up through use and wash. None of the flaking or pealing that can sometimes happen with vinyl transfers.
