You guys, #CarveDecember is just knocking my socks off. People are making some *amazing* stamps!! Before I share some (and there are so many, I really had to pick just a few) of the fantabulous stamps that other people have carved, here's what I've made for days 4-10:
I made a custom colored ink pad for this one. Here's the print below:
I carved a new set of number stamps for my art journal. These are about half the size of the my old ones. They're teeny tiny!
This set just about killed me. I should have done it over several days instead of all in one shot. Nonetheless, I love them! So much so…
…that I used them right away in my art journal! You can see the size of the stamps a little bit better in the photo above, since my hand is there for scale.
This was a crafty experiment. I wanted to see if I could carve a basic face that would act as a guideline for creating multiple faces, but not dictate the final result. You can see that I got three very different looking girls from my stamp!
And now onto some amazing stamps from others!

I had to laugh when I saw myheartsfancy’s oops. When I first started carving I did an entire alphabet before I realized that I wasn’t reversing the letters! OOPS!
Love this challenge! I am rearranging my craft room to host a women’s paper craft night or I would be participating!

Great stamps. I like to use big erasers from my local dollar store to carve stamps. They work great. I use all the sides to carve on.

Really inspiring – the sore hand thing slows me down too. So every other day or every third day or whatever I can do – having fun!

Some fabulous stamps – yours, Julie, and your co-conspirators. I’ve not yet posted (my one and-as-yet-only) eraser stamp, but these are really inspiring.

My younger sister is an OT and CHT (Certified Hand Therapist). Based on what she has told me you should never do things that make your hands hurt. Hands are very easy to damage and very slow to heal. And by the way, if you do need to see a professional about hand problems, go to the CHT website and find a CHT in your area.
Best wishes to all. I”m very impressed with the creativity of these stamps and looking forward to trying it!

As I’ve commented before, I LOVE this creative challenge. I am learning so much and find stamp carving addictive. I’ve hardly used my stamps but am totally immersed in the carving. Maybe January’s creative challenge for me will be using them! Thanks again, Julie!
