You guys! I'm bowled over and AMAZED by the fabulous #CarveDecember contributions I'm seeing online! Here's what I've carved so far:
I test print all along the way as I carve. Here's a peek at the process of the elephant:
I made a custom colored ink pad to go with my repeating holiday stamp…
…but I didn't love the colors, so I tried again:
Yesterday I created a stamp in four parts, with two flower petal alternatives:
And here's a peek at a few other people's stamps.

It is absolutely not too late to start participating and you certainly don't have to carve a stamp every day if you don't want to. Just do what you can! Stamp carving is easy, addictive, and tons of fun!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the teapot and I wonder how the elephant would go with Nat’s stencils.

I share how to make the custom ink pad in my book, “Carve Stamp Play.” You can learn how to carve stamps through my book or my online class. 🙂

These are all so cool! I’ve recently gotten interested in carving stamps (after carving some hexagon stamps out of erasers on a whim) and I really want to do more. I’m waiting for your book to come in the mail and can’t wait to read it, and hopefully I’ll be able to join in and make a few stamps after I get my Christmas projects wrapped up!

These are great.
Did you know there is a facebook group for stamp carving and printmaking. They host swaps, and it’s a fun group.
