Hand Carved Stamps
Hand Carved Stamps
One of the things Keitha and I did during our crafty week was hand carved stamps. I had drawn a poinsettia petal and leaf while I was making Christmas cards but just carved it. This is the first printing. I'm going to shorten the leaf and use masks to overlap the leaves and petals.

Re: Hand Carved Stamps
You're definitely an inspiration, Marianne. Even once I unearth my stamp I don't think it's card-worthy on its own; I see it more as a layout embellie maybe.
Re: Hand Carved Stamps
It could be stamped in rainbow colors for a card front either in a row or spiraling around a greeting. But with your love of cardmaking (not!), I think a layout embellie will be the way to go with it.Keitha wrote:You're definitely an inspiration, Marianne.

Re: Hand Carved Stamps
fabulous, Marianne.
I bought all that stuff ten years ago. How many stamps do you think I have carved?
Exactly one.
A number 2.
I needed it for something I was making and that was as far as I got.
You have inspired me to try again. I've been aching to try a feather or a chevron.
It would have to be a simplistic design for me.

NICE!
Looking at the stamps on the table
I would never guess that they were
hand carved, they look very professional

Re: Hand Carved Stamps
Jennifer you sound just like me! Yesterday, while searching for blank tags, I came across some pretty napkins I have had for years to use for a technique. I thought, "I ought to just take these into the kitchen and use them as napkins." Did I? No, I stuck them back on the shelf to use "later" for papercrafting.

Re: Hand Carved Stamps
Funny, you mention napkins, Judy. Yesterday while I was doing the quick sorting of my flower bag, I came across some napkins and put them in the discard pile, But, wait, I thought, we could actually use them as napkins! So up the stairs they went to the napkin basket by the table. I'm sure I will find some others as well.
