You guys, I mentioned this in the monthly Balzer Designs newsletter, but #CarveDecember is coming!! Hooray!
What is #CarveDecember?
It's a super fun month-long challenge to carve a stamp every single day in December. The stamps can be little…
…big…
…simple…
…detailed…
…stand alone…
…or part of a set…
You can spend hours each day or just half-an-hour making stamp magic. Really? Yes, you can carve a fairly large and complex stamp in less than 30 minutes from start-to-finish.
If you've never carved a stamp, I guarantee that it's easier than you think! If you need help:
- There are lots of free tutorials online for carving stamps. Just do a google search and you'll find videos and tutorials galore!
- I have an excellent online stamp carving class called Stamp Carving 101. It's 30% off through December 1, 2016 if you use the code: Carve2016
- I wrote a fantastic full color book that covers everything in Stamp Carving 101 plus lots of complicated pattern making (made simple, of course). Buy Carve Stamp Play and get carving!
If you wish you can post your stamps with the hashtag #carvedecember so that other people can see what you've created! I hope you'll join me for all the fun!

P.S. More quilts coming tomorrow, but you can get a peek at some quilts in a video format if you watch this week's Julie's World Vlog:
The quilts start around the 2:42 mark. Enjoy!
Oh my Julie I loved this and I just want to give you a big hug.
Thank you for sharing this like Australia, it was like being there with you instead of just through your eyes. Thank you Thank you.
Loved the earrings and I think reasonably priced. I have to look at the rubber stamp video so I will do that later.
I loved all the quilts you showed. It totally amazes me how the quilters do such phenomenal intricate work.
My idea of a quilt is sewing two pieces of fabric together with batting in between. Marking off my squares and sewing down and across to get the squares even. If I wish to embroider a square here and there then I do it. Then use blanket binding to finish off the sides.
I am really in awe as to the construction of these extraordinary quilts. Just loved them and your vlog so very much.
if I was there I too would have bought a bunch of scan n cut accessories. I do have a lot as it is and try to add to my stash when I see the prices right for my purse.
Love Love you thank you.
Happy Wednesday,
Fawna
