Stamps and overlays for producing animated images and motion effects

Abstract

A versatile system, kit and method for a printing kinegram imagery with inked stamps enables users to place such imagery at desired, arbitrary locations on paper or other substrates, particularly useful in arts and crafts projects such as scrapbooking, and the like. A stamp has a surface having a plurality of raised and non-raised regions to produce a coded, printed kinegram image on a sheet of paper or other substrate. An overlay sheet with transparent and non-transparent areas corresponding to the raised and non-raised regions of the stamp, such that when the overlay is placed over the coded printed kinegram image, and one or both of the coded printed kinegram image and overlay are moved relative to one another, an illusion of movement or animation is imparted to a viewer. At least a portion of the stamp is transparent to facilitate precise placement of the coded printed kinegram image.
