Midori Rotating Stamp 12 Months

The Midori rotary stamp with 12 months literally rotates through the whole year: a single stamp body carries all twelve month motifs, which are swapped via a rotating dial. The oil-based, water-resistant ink leaves a sharp, deep black image on paper – yet remains open to colour, as water-based markers and pens can be applied directly over it.

Features

• 12 month motifs in one stamp: All months are housed on a single rotary disc – no need to swap stamp plates or hunt through drawers.
• Oil-based, water-resistant ink: The stamped image won't run when overworked with water-based markers or watercolour pens – ideal for colourful calendar design and journalling pages.
• Paintable with water-based pens: Month names can be written directly over the stamp impression, frames coloured in or additional decoration added without the black base colour smudging.
• Capacity of approximately 1,000 stamp impressions: The integrated ink supply lasts for around 1,000 impressions before re-inking is needed.
• First impression with light pressure: On first use, a gentle press is recommended so the ink distributes evenly and the first impression isn't too heavy.

Use & Tips

• Calendar pages in bullet journals: Set the desired month motif, place it at the top of the page and establish the basic structure of the month within seconds – then embellish with fineliner or brush pen.
• Planners and daily planners: Use as a month marker on daily pages or in weekly grids – one impression is enough to immediately see which month a page covers.
• Letters and cards: As a decorative month notation on handwritten letters or self-designed greeting cards; the impression looks clean and uniform, even without a ruler.
• Scrapbooking: On smooth, calendered paper or lightly textured watercolour paper, oil-based stamps adhere evenly – on highly absorbent papers, use slightly more pressure.
• Combination with stamp pad: Those wanting to change colour can also press the stamp onto an external stamp pad with oil-based ink (such as brown or navy) to match the colour scheme of your journal.

For Journalling Enthusiasts

Oil-based stamp ink dries more slowly on most paper surfaces than water-based alternatives, but it adheres permanently and shows no feathering on wood-free coated papers. Those writing with a fountain pen or brush pen directly over the impression should wait until the stamp is completely dry – roughly 10–20 seconds depending on paper quality. On smooth, ink-resistant surfaces (such as Tomoe River paper), drying time increases accordingly; a light pat with paper before turning the page is recommended here.
