You guys, I had to carve my first few stamps on the road and it was no problem!  Stamp carving remains a super portable art form!

These next two stamps I posted as mini process videos.  Just press play!  (And if they don't play for you, you can see the first one here and the second one here.)

Remember, whether you want to carve a stamp every day or just one stamp for the month, you are welcome to be a part of #CarveDecember.  To participate all you have to do is post a stamp you carved to social media with the hashtag #CarveDecember.  It's really that easy!

Here are ten stamps I found under that hashtag (I could have posted 100 — so many beautiful things to see):

  • Love the Krampus. We recently watched the first movie and it was a wicked funny horror film. I’m always amazed at the stamp you carve and the patterns that you create with them.
