I don't know why. But somehow I forget how much fun carving stamps can be and then #CarveDecember comes along and reminds me! The daily pace really gets my creative juices flowing! Here are the stamps I carved on days 12-18:
Watch a video of the tiny stamp above being printed HERE.
On Wednesday I carved the bird you above. On Thursday I added some stamps that allowed me to "color in" the bird:

And then on Friday, I decided to make this bird the image for my holiday cards, so I carved out a sentiment.
I carved the stamp above for the backs of the holiday cards. Sometimes if you let people know that a card is hand made they're less likely to toss it away. (I'll share the completed cards soon — um…as soon as I complete them! LOL!)
Sometimes.
And here's a quick video of this stamp coming together:
Finally, here are ten stamps that caught my eye this week:
So many fantastic stamps from so many amazing artists. Check the #CarveDecember hashtag to see all the eye candy!
It's not to late to join in! Even if you simply carve one stamp this month, please post it and share with the hashtag #CarveDecember — we'd all love to see it!
Thanks for stopping by!
