I was fooling around with some tags and some stencils (bug doily & deco doily) and I needed a sentiment for them.  What's a girl to do at midnight when she needs a sentiment?  Well, I decided to carve a stamp!

Merry&BrightStamp
I love being able to just sit down and make the perfect stamp in the midst of creating!

Here are the two tags I made with my new stamp:

2Tags-wm
2Tags-wm
2Tags-wm
I love them!  I'm definitely getting in the Christmas spirit!  (Of course my desk is now covered in glitter, but 'tis the season for shiny, so I won't be a grinch about it.)

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. If you want to learn how to carve stamps, try my most excellent online class.  It's just $30!

  • Julie, on the tag where the writing is blue, it almost looks like you used a stencil instead of a stamp. How did you achieve that light blue over the darker background?

  • Love this! I’ve been teaching myself linocutting lately and it’s harder than it looks (or maybe I just haven’t got the hang of the cutting tools yet). You do a wonderful job though! 🙂
