Stamp Carving

New Hand Carved Stamp: Tribal Leaf

All it takes is a little scrap of rubber and a few minutes to make a hand carved stamp!  This is my most recent creation:

P.S. And because I always get asked, if you'd like to learn more about stamp carving, try my online class or my book.  This is the carving material I use.  Have fun!

  • Julie, I took your class and it was great. Carved non stop and then didn’t do any for a while….until I got your book and now I am back to carving. Love it! Didn’t realize that I missed doing it! Love your tribal leaf. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration.

  • It’s great to see how many different ways you use your stamps, I tend to carve bigger, more complex ones, but they are more limited in use!

  • Love the patterns in second and third rows. Did you make your own ink pad for the red/blue ones? I am making my patriotic cards for friends and those colors stand out. Thank you. Wish there was a contest somewhere to win that rubber you carve. I am so cheap that I am crippled by indecision when I finally buy it to carve! Silly me.
