No doubt you know that I am a stamp carving addict.  I love it!  I've been trying to figure out when or how I learned how to carve stamps.  And you know what, I absolutely cannot remember. I recall carving a linoleum tile in high school, but when did I first pick up a soft block?  I don't know?! Poking through my blog archives, I can't seem to find the moment, so it must have been ages ago.  It's as if I always knew how to do it.  Perhaps I was simply born with the knowledge.  ;)

Today I'm sharing some of my favorite stamp carving shares from the blog (and if you go through the archives, there are a bajillion more stamp carving posts, btw):

Stamp Carving is easier than you may think.  It's a process that offers so very many possibilities.  Looking at these photos I can see how my skills have evolved and grown over time — both my actual carving skills and my design skills.  If you haven't tried stamp carving yet, I hope that you will!

This week I am giving away an awesome stamp carving super prize!

  • a signed copy of my book, Carve Stamp Play.  (P.S. If you have the book and love it, please leave me a review on Amazon.  I'd really appreciate it!)
  • a spot in my online class Stamp Carving 101
  • a spot in my ***NEW*** online class Stamp Carving: Designing Patterns.  (I will share sign-up information for everyone else next week, once a winner is announced!)
  • an original hand carved stamp — by me!

To win: Leave an answer to the following questions in the comments section of this blog (your answer must be posted on the blog itself, not on Facebook and not in an email reply):

Have you ever carved a stamp? If not, why not? If yes, why did you start?

This contest will remain open until Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 11:59 EST.

Thanks for being part of the blogiversary celebration!!

  • I have never carved a stamp before and am very curious to try. I guess because I don’t have the tools and don’t want to wonder down another rabbit hole. It would be great to win this prize!

  • I first carved a stamp in a high school art class. Was in my blood then! That was manyyyy years ago. Then a few years ago at a class at your nyc apartment. Sadly, not since, as life got in the way. An online class would get me back on target!

  • I was inspired a few years ago by you to buy carving supplies, but have not yet done it. I suppose fear of failure or disappointment in my own efforts is what stopped me. The stamps I’ve seen on this poo age make me want to give it a go.

  • I started carving when it first appeared on your blog and your book came out. I had a whole stamp carving bag (cutters, rubber, your book, sketchbook) that I took with me on trips for medical treatment and found it a relaxing break when I got back to my hotel room — also a great distraction so I wasn’t thinking about test results! I got a lot carved, somewhere misplaced the whole bag and lost all that was in it but just got the bug again so I bought a new set of cutters and some more rubber and started over last night. I’m definitely rusty which must mean I need to carve even more!

  • Yes, I have carved stamps and was inspired to begin by my good friend, Pam Carriker. Pam pointed out how stamp carving is a meditative process and I have to agree. I have tried a number of carving mediums and have yet to find my favorite. Thanks for this opportunity to win a great prize!

  • I believe I carved my first stamp in a Surface Design class at John Campbell Folk School. When I found your blog and saw the great stamps you carve, I attempted a few more. I kept your book “Carve Stamp Play” checked out of the library for months! Such an inspiration! Although I haven’t been able to do a full month of Carve December yet, I have joined in with several carved stamps. I find that the garbage stamps often end up being my favorite and most versatile. Thanks for offering such a fabulous super giveaway!

  • I’ve never carved a stamp before. I guess the only reason is I don’t know what I need and what I need to know. I know about linoleum blocks, but, to my knowledge, I’ve never seen or heard about a soft block and I’m very interested in learning more about them. I think I have some carving tools in my craft treasures. Guess I’ll have to dig them out and find a soft block, get your book and dive in! Thanks!

  • Yes! I have tried stamp carving, inspired by CarveDecember last year (2015). I made several obsessively one afternoon, vowing to create my own little stamps whenever needed, and then… then … sigh. I’m pretty sure I haven’t carved another one since that time. I do plan to carve more though and I enjoy the blog posts about your carvings and others. Maybe I should do a personal CarveFebruary? Thanks for all you do.

  • I have watched your videos on how to do them, but my problem is finding the material on which to carve. One video you said to use a large rubber eraser found at Dollar stores; but have not be lucky enough to find one. Can you suggest other locations?

  • I do carve stamps and am relatively new to it. I came across your blog while researching about the techniques and have enjoyed carving and your work ever since! It has been fun working on all scales from big to small, with plenty more to learn and develop. I can’t wait to hear about your new class, just what I have been thinking of! Thank you

  • Yes, i’ve carved MANY stamps. I think the first time was in a class in HS. For the past several years Ive participated in Julie’s #carvedecember. I like the daily challenge and get inspired by all of the work I see from others.

  • This round-up of carved stamps is inspirational, thank you!
    I have carved a very few stamps, the first ones were inspired by your banner stamps. I made a solid and a hollow bunting triangle. I combined them in lots of colours to make very cheerful strings of bunting across the tops of pages and celebration cards. They came out again in Christmas cards when the triangles were overprinted with letter stamps. I love a simple idea I can play with and reuse in several ways…Very satisfying! Congrats on you blogiversary, long may it wave! Kxx

  • I carved a stamp in high school and we won’t talk about how long ago that was! I’d like to incorporate personal stamped images into my work and I recently borrowed your book from the library to get started. I can’t wait to get started.

  • Have your book and recommended tools. Have yet to try stamp carving. Embarrassed to say my friend took one look at your book and immediately began carving. Really want to get up the courage to try as I already make stamps from found objects. Would love to add my own hand drawn designs to stamps!

  • I started carving stamps because of you. Got your book, took your class, and have been doing Carve December ever since. Once it was Carve January and once Carve February, but I get it done. Sometimes I think I might like carving stamps even more than printing with them–but it’s great to have my own stamps for cards, journals and collages. I now keep a Pinterest board of stamp ideas that could keep me busy for at least the next 50 years. (Currently I am struggling to make tesselating stamps. There is always something new to try in stamp carving!)And I love your blog. It’s how my day begins.

  • Love this blog post Julie (especially the garbage stamps and the poppy three print stamps) I’ve been poorly lately and desperate to get back to crafting, so today is the day and I’m going to break out the stamp carving kit I was gifted over a year ago..which has intimidated me so much…all that beautiful clean proper carving materials. I have actually made little teensy stamps from erasers in the past…little hearts and a ‘CeeCee’ that I use to mark everything I make…I was SOO proud when I made that stamp lol! I’ve also made them from fun foam and found objects and hot glue and alsorts of other materials…more for mark making…But more intricate ones have always scared me a little with the carving and all that and it’s something I’ve lusted after doing for such a long time…so the little garbage ones ones I’ve seen here have so inspired me to think well ‘stop thinking big…think small til you’re confident with the tools’ thank you thank you thank you.x

  • I forgot to answer your question…”why did I start” well the stamps I have are in a little child’s leather suitcase and they are a mishmash of different types of stamps more for markmaking, but I wanted something original, mine rather thatpn the mass produced one…which don’t get me wrong have their place..I aphave a little few teensy alphabet stamps which I adore, I think they were only about £2 each set from hobbycraft or somewhere and I use them all the time. But homemade stamps have a special appeal to me and my absolute dream would be to have something like your large printing block effect alphabet…drool!

  • I carved probably 4 stamps a couple years ago hoping to achieve some teeny little houses for my journaling. I wasn’t very happy with the results, and I think I had the hardest time figuring out the positive-negative aspect of the pattern. LOVE LOVE your little garbage stamps and how they make such gorgeous patterns. I seriously need your help. Sooooooooo wish we were neighbors.

  • I started carving stamps when I was a new mom. It was a few years back. How long ago? Well, my sweet son will be 32 next month, I was introduced to stamping by his day care mom who hosted a rubber stamp party. I worked full time and couldn’t afford to buy all the stamps I coveted. I hosted rubber stamp nights for friends and co workers on my big kitchen table. Much cheaper than going out to happy hour or to dinner. And I didn’t have to hire a babysitter. I think I tried stamp carving after reading about it in Rubber Stamp Madness. I have kept all of the stamps I made carved from those white soft erasers.
    You are an amazing inspiration Julie. Because of you, I took my first ever drawing class and am signed up for Drawing 2.
    Time to dust off those old stamps and try drawing my own designs instead of tracing them.

  • Yes, I have carved a stamp and I love it. You are the one who inspired me to start. I can do simple things like words but am unable to get a repeating design to work. Have borrowed your book many times from the library…

I hosted rubber stamp nights for friends and co workers on my big kitchen table. Much cheaper than going out to happy hour or to dinner. And I didn’t have to hire a babysitter. I think I tried stamp carving after reading about it in Rubber Stamp Madness. I have kept all of the stamps I made carved from those white soft erasers.
    You are an amazing inspiration Julie. Because of you, I took my first ever drawing class and am signed up for Drawing 2.
    Time to dust off those old stamps and try drawing my own designs instead of tracing them.

  • Yes, I have carved a stamp and I love it. You are the one who inspired me to start. I can do simple things like words but am unable to get a repeating design to work. Have borrowed your book many times from the library…

  • What an AWESOME giveaway! I have not yet carved any stamps – I was inspired this past December by your posts on Instagram and went out to purchase some supplies, but was a little intimidated. I love the little squares you carve that rotate to make a large square pattern, but I think I should start more simply – lol. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • I love to carve stamps, love the feel of it and the freedom to create exactly what you want. You taught ne to carve with your online class which I loved. I was amazed how much fun it was and you get great results too. I am looking forward to your new course and will be signing up. I would love to own your book, Santa overlooked it on my Christmas list this year. The problem I have is remembering to use the stamps I’ve carved but I’m working on that. Congrats on you blog anniversary x

Using tips from your book (library copy), I carved an ankh and the Eye of Horus. They turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself! LOL! Thanks for all you give to the maker community!

  • My first encounter with stamping was with my son who was an adult at the time. We were attending a local art fest and a woman was using carved potatoes for stamps. We carved ours and they turned out really cool and we made a postcard together. I love the fact that one can put their own personality into a self created stamp. I still have the card after all these years. I would love to learn how to carve stamps and incorporate them in my artwork.

  • My first encounter with stamping was with my son who was an adult at the time. We were attending a local art fest and a woman was using carved potatoes for stamps. We carved ours and they turned out really cool and we made a postcard together. I love the fact that one can put their own personality into a self created stamp. I still have the card after all these years. I would love to learn how to carve stamps and incorporate them in my artwork.

  • hi Julie — I have never actually carved a stamp for fear of messing it up — I do have the tools, but have never attempted it — I have made foam stamps where I have drawn an image on the foam — thanks for a chance to win this great giveaway

  • I carved a stamp because I wanted a brick wall background for a project and couldn’t find a stamp for it. I only had small wood carving tools so I used that. When I finished, I turned the stamp over and carved stripes on the other side. I think this is my favorite stamp.

  • I carved one linoleum block in high school! Recently, I found an extra, and it was rock hard. So I purchased one of those pink soft pads, and it was amazingly fun. I’d love real instruction about making them and then using them.

  • Hi, Julie! I first carved a stamp on linoleum at summer camp, and also made patterns cutting potatoes (and have always enjoyed doodling patterns). I have not started carving rubber stamps yet but am ready to try–I’ve always loved seeing the patterns you and other artists make, especially with stamps that create unique patterns when repeated. Thanks for the chance to win, and thanks for all you do to inspire others with your artwork!

  • Yes, I have carved stamps. At first I messed around with plumber’s gasket from the hardware store and my old college woodcarving tools. When I saw your Print in Three Parts piece, I bought the pink blocks and tools like yours and made my own set of 3 parts. Thanks, Julie!

  • I have never tried stamp carving since I was an adult, although I remember doing a linoleum block for a Girl Scout project when I was a teenager. I have all the tools for stamp carving, but have just not gotten up the courage to start. I need a push!

  • I carved my first stamp in a class about 5 years ago. I carved my 2 nd stamp this past Sunday because my small art group was coming the next day and the topic was “stamping” lol
    I had the knowledge but needed a reason to use it. Your blog post today and carving my very own design has rekindled my fascination with stamps. I can see more stamps in my fabric art for sure!
    Great blog posts this month!

  • Yes I have!! Why? You made me do it – your enthusiasm was so infectious that I had no choice but to sign up for your on line class. I was at an artist’s retreat a few years ago where we could work on any project we wanted – I carved out the large alphabet. People asked me why I didn’t just go to Michael’s and buy a set? What fun would that be? Thank you Julie for all you do.

I tried my first stamp last year (a self-portrait, not the smartest ‘first try’ idea for sure, but you make it look so easy!!) – it’s not perfect, but I still love it, and use it on my journal pages!

  • The first stamp I ever carved was in December 1977. I remember this clearly because I was carving a lino block angel with 2 separate parts for our Christmas card and I gouged my hand badly and had to go to the hospital for stitches. Consequently, I loved it when soft blocks became available, but I also improved my technique as Julie instructs to keep my hand out of the way of the tool. I have carved dozens of stamps since then.

    I have never carved a stamp, mostly because I simply haven’t purchased the materials to try to carve one. Another reason is that I don’t feel confident that I can come up with an interesting design.

  • I haven’t … not sure why. I’m ready … I have lino, I have tools. I think I just need that last demo or direction that will make me think “Hell yes, I can do that.” Oh, and I may be a bit afraid of gouging my finger off. lol. But that’s why they make bandaids, so I’m good.

  • Stamp carving to me is similar to my “freeze” at drawing because I have this tireless voice inside that keeps telling me that I have to have it graphically perfect in order to have anything of value. Dang, that gets old! Over the years I have enjoyed your ability to paint, carve, and collage in your journals. It’s opened a wonderful world to me. I have a stamp carving kit that I should find and use or at least give it a try. In the meantime, I love your foamies!

That seems like a lame excuse I know, but I just find you can’t try everything you are interested in right away. I would so love to win this prize as it would be such fun to learn and I’m starting from zero so it would be super useful. I adore your work and read your blog every chance I get.

  • Oh, Julie! I have never carved a stamp before because I don’t have the tools and one just doesn’t have the time to try every single thing. That seems like a lame excuse I know, but I just find you can’t try everything you are interested in right away.

  • Yes! I’ve carved many stamps over the years and love it still. I believe I started in about 1997 or so and was a part of the Carving Consortium group online. I learned a lot about this craft from those talented members and even met a dear friend through that group. Your “garbage” stamps are my favorites Julie. Especially the little square ones that can be printed back to back to create some beautiful mosaic type imprints. Thanks for all your great tutoring and sharing online!

  • No, I have never carved a stamp. My mother was artistic–she was into oil paintings and she could draw. She spent one hour with me explaining what perspective was and told me I couldn’t draw. If you couldn’t draw, you couldn’t do anything.

  • I LOVE carving stamps. I even use my grandmother’s linoleum block carving tools and have some of her blocks that she used to make her own Christmas cards. I got started carving stamps for letterboxes and still do that but also use my stamps in my handmade books. Carving is my very favorite art activity.

  • Thoroughly enjoying your blogiversary articles Julie! I was sufficiently intrigued by your posts of stamp carving to acquire some tools and a soft pink block – then carved exactly one stamp, a simple chevron. I really need to give it another go – perhaps if I read your book I’d have a better idea what I was doing!

  • My first stamp was a matrryoshka figure, before they became trendy. I still have it. I love the symbolisim of the women within our selves. I tend to go though phases where I carve and use a lot of stamps, and then set them aside for a while. I was very happy to realize I could carve a commercial stamp to alter it. This year I found a very nice crow, with a quote I disliked. Just carved that quote right off! I also make stamps by cutting and gluing craft foam to a surface. Love your blog. I have no real life artist friends, so you and your commenter ARE my art community#

  • Oooooh, what an inspirational and generous giveaway!
    My first foray into stamp carving was back in high school. It was a Lino cut of mythological forms in a grid … Pegasus, trident, lightening bolt, etc.. I was told my carving skills were okay, but the block itself had finite applications. Teacher just could’nt see me using the block more than once … Maybe if I had cut it up into the individual elements?!?!
    At any rate, I have just purchased supplies to get back into carving stamps, being the ‘cut up’ that I am! Thanks for all your inspiration and joy!

  • This first time I carved a Lino block was in 3rd or 4th grade. We were supposed to carve around the design & I carved the opposite of what the teacher instructed us to do. I thought I ruined the block from the teacher’s reaction & did not try again until I was 20-something. Stamping, creative journaling is so good for the heart & soul. Thank you Julie for your positive instruction & inspiration!

It has not been until this year watching you make garbage stamps from little pieces that I bought a pink tile and started carving. But I have been so shy about carving. You inspire me!

  • I have to admit, the carving process intimidates me. What if I carve out the wrong part? What if I can’t draw a decent design (this probably intimidates me the most). Do I even have the patience to learn to do such intricate work? I really, really want to learn, but I seem to be too overwhelmed by my fears to begin. I would love to be part of your class!

  • I have never carved a stamp, but I have always wanted to. It looks like so much fun, I am a long time fan of your blog and love when you show the carved stamps. They look so cool, you can make any stamp you want, how awesome is that but for someone who has never done it before it is very scary. I would LOVE to win a class with you ,what an honor. Also I would love to win your book, that would also be a great tool to go along with the class. I really, really would love to learn how to carve stamps, something I have been wanting to do for a long time now.

  • I have never carved a stamp, but I have always wanted to. It looks like so much fun, I am a long time fan of your blog and love when you show the carved stamps. They look so cool, you can make any stamp you want, how awesome is that but for someone who has never done it before it is very scary. I would LOVE to win a class with you ,what an honor. Also I would love to win your book, that would also be a great tool to go along with the class.

  • I have always loved to use stamps, especially embossing the stamped images with a heat gun. I ran across your website and was and still am in awe of the awesome stamps you have carved, even from tiny scraps. Could I actually do this myself? Well, I’m retired and my husband and I take off in our camper van whenever we can. I was looking for a ‘hobby craft’ that I could take along and do during those down times I often have while on the road. I found a small container that holds everything I need for carving stamps, and I’ve plugged away at it quite often. My container doesn’t take up much room, and it’s a great outlet for me. t would love to have the stamp carving book of lessons, it looks really informative. If I don’t win this contest I will eventually buy it for myself. And the stamp carving class, oh my gosh, I would LOVE to take your online class. Thank you for this opportunity for someone that could really benefit from this giveaway.

  • I’ve carved a few simple shapes – many years ago. Carving seemed a natural progression of my interest in rubber stamping. I discovered your excellent book at my local library and it inspired me to get out my carving stuff again. Thank you!

  • I have carved a stamp – years ago – and I’m eager to start again. I’ve bought a bunch of supplies and still have my carving tools but have not jumped back in. I think it’s because I’ve been looking for inspiration like this. I think I first tried it because I love the idea of custom stamps that are MY own artwork – which makes them more special. I’d just LOVE to win your class – which I know would be SUPER inspiring and would get me off to a great start!

  • I just love the look of hand carved stamps. I have a block that my daughter gave me to carve and I bought a carving tool but it was difficult for me to cut into the rubber block and I put it away to work on later. You certainly make it look easy! I will practice some more because carved stamps are a great way to decorate with unique and handmade beauty. Thank you Julie.

  • I tried once to carve at a class I took at a local store. But my first experience was not so great. It looks easy but it is not. I was so excited to learn stamp carving that I bought all the stuff but it just sits because I got discouraged. I really want to learn this so I need your book and to take your class. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • I started carving stamps so that I had unique and personal stamps to use in my art journal. Julie, I purchased your book, which was very helpful! Then I took one if your in person classes that you had in your home. It is amazing to me how simple it can be to carve a stamp but it can look so intricate and detailed when you make it into a pattern. Thanks for the stamp carving inspiration and for the giveaway!

  • I carved erasers first and then the pink block, when I finally managed to get one. I love carving and don’t do it enough. I started because I wanted originals and I wanted filler stamps immediately. Also, when I began, there weren’t many stamps in local stores.

    I have done a few stamps. Practice! I think that is what will make it all better!
    Can’t wait for your new class!

  • Hi Julie,
    I did carve a few stamps. I started because I wanted to carve my own mandala stamps 🙂 It is really fun, at first I was afraid it will be too hard, but after a few tries I find it’s not so difficult.
    Thank you!

  • Yes I have carved several stamps. I started as I wanted to use certain images and stamps of certain objects and images I liked ie leaves, flowers or birds. However, they are not as detailed as your gorgeous stamps Julie.. I don’t have the patience.

  • I’ve carved a few stamps, like 2-3, and really liked it, but since I suffer from craft ADD, I never got back into it. I need to start back up again!

  • I have never carved a stamp and until recently did not realize you could attempt it. It is your blog that is introducing me to a rush of ideas. I am going to attempt carving stamps ASAP. I discovered your blog in a effort to learn more about art journaling and have been hooked ever since. The Blogiversary is a fantastic bonus. I love reading the all the older posts I never saw.

  • I have been carving stamps for many years, even before I knew of you. I have no idea how many I have….but that is not enough. I fall in love with the one I just finished carving and use it until I carve a new one. So on and on it goes. Talk about addiction…I am addicted.

  • Hi Julie and congratulations to the winner of the scanncut2
    Have you ever carved a stamp? No I have never carved a stamp. I have only made some with my scan n cut out of craft foam.
    Why I have never carved a stamp is because I do not know how to do this. I have watched you Julie through your videos do it and I think it is great to be able to make your own stamps.
    Thank you for the opportunity to enter another contest.

  • Every time I see your stamp carving post I get so excited to try it…So…I go to my local Hobby Lobby and stand in the stamp carving section, look at all the great products to use, get scared, and run back to premade stamps and stencil! Last week I ended up buying the Balzer Designs Mini Swirly Garden, but honestly I would have bought that even if I had bought the stamp carving supplies as well. So no, I haven’t tried stamp carving yet, but one day I hope to get the nerve and supplies to try….this giveaway would be a great push for me! Thanks Julie for all your inspiration….you’re amazing!

  • I have carved several stamps…not fabulous, but they’re okay. I’ve got a few that are cool. I think the biggest thrill is using one on a card and someone mentions they like the image (could be they realize it’s my original and they’re being kind???) Reason I started carving was mostly financial…couldn’t afford all the stamps I wanted, so I made something similar. Not quite copying…just the idea…needed an umbrella, etc. Your carving (and some you’ve highlighted during your carving blogs) makes me crazy…so much talent. I haven’t figured out how you do the ones that nest into each other. Guess I need a class. Thanks for all you do.

  • I’m an avid rubber stamper but have only carved lino blocks, which I did in a printmaking class at a local art center – linocut was my fave part of the classes. I have the carving tools, just bought some rubber blocks and erasers, thanks to seeing your carvings, now I’m ready to go – I would love to take your classes. Why haven’t I already carved into the blocks? Not sure, a mixture of intimidation and lack of time, but I’m ready to start this weekend 🙂 I bought some cheapo erasers to play with because I figure that will beat the trepidation of just cutting into the block.

I was signed up for your mixed media collage class in Montreal, loved it, and you and some of the other students convinced me to stick around for the stamp carving class.. I loved it! Since that class, over a year ago, I’ve carved a bunch more, and showed a few people how easy it is 🙂

  • I carved some stamps when I was in school– mostly because I found myself with a few extra erasers and an ink pad. It’s fun! I am intrigued by the stamps that you cut that fit together to make a pattern. Some are so small and simple, but look amazing when repeated!

  • Many years ago I did try carving a stamp, and I really enjoyed it. I really want to get back into it, but I don’t yet know how to do the things I’d love to do, like interlocking stamps. How do you store your stamps so that you can find what you’re looking for?

  • Instead of starting with a simple design I did a 2 part stamp which didn’t come out well. I’m going to watch your tutorials and try, try again. I do love patterns. Thanks for your encouragement.

  • Yes I have carved a few stamps! I was inspired by you. I love it as it is portable, almost nonmessy, and so much fun! I definitely need to to more to practice carving and fine-tune my abilities though. Many of my stamps still look like an 8 year old did them!

  • I carved my first linoleum block when I was 7–at an art summer camp thing. I probably didn’t get hooked, though, until I was all grown up and needed an image for a particular project and couldn’t find it anywhere. So I had to carve it. Of course, I go hooked, and now I carve in bursts from time to time–only because I have so many other things I love to do. The soft material is a godsend now, because I have arthritis in my hands, and linoleum is almost impossible now.

  • Yes, I did carve a stamp. It was waaaaaay back when I was in junior high school in an Industrial Arts class. In addition to learning how to set type by hand (not digital!) we also were taught how to carve a stamp that would be used for the student newspaper. That was a really fun class for a young teen. Imagine my surprise when about six months ago, a teen attending my scrapbook group brought in some prints she made that she wanted to keep in a scrapbook as a reminder of her class at school. She and I had quite a discussion. She was very enthusiastic about the craft and I want to try my hand again. Thanks for offering this give away, Julie.

It is a very satisfying experience, and, each subsequent stamp I carved was “crisper” and produced a better stamp. I even purchased some shipping tags like the ones you use, and have been having a blast! I stamped my own gift tags for Christmas gifts last month. So much FUN!!!

  • Congratulations my friend Linda Crowe!
    Like you Julie I remember loving linoleum block making in junior high. But I’ve only recently begun carving my own stamps. Partly because you inspired me and partly out of necessity when I can’t find the type of stamps I’m looking for.

  • Stamp carving is one of those things that I am immediately drawn to. I love the uniqueness of it and the notion that there seems to be no limit to the effects one can achieve. But alas it is also one of those things that I always seem to put aside, much to my annoyance, because i don’t have access to the right material for carving (not easily accessible here in Australia). I did one buy some pencil erasers and try on those, but the size was limited and it was a bit hard to carve. Would love an opportunity to give it a really good go!

  • Honestly, I started carving because of you, Julie! I love it. I don’t know why I don’t carve more…. except that I am interested in so many creative outlets and there is just not enough time in the day! It’s fun to watch you celebrating all month. Lots of creativity to chew on.

  • In 1997 or so my friend Joy showed me how to carve with an exacto knife art gum erasers. We even had our 7th graders carve them! Fast forward to now where I’ve never carved out of real carving rubber. Why? I can’t decide what to carve. Silly, I know. I have the supplies. I would love your book or class to learn how to do it the proper way. Your inspiration will guide me to making a choice of subjects. Love this giveaway.

  • I have carved a very few stamps because I have a good friend who is very good at it and keeps encouraging me. A couple turned out OK, but my letters came out backwards even after thinking I reversed them. Oh well….I like your style and would love to try your method. Congrats on 10 years!

  • I have not “carved” a stamp. I have made stamps from bits and pieces of left over rubber and used die cut fun foam to make stamps. I am especially intrigued by your interlocking stamp patterns that make larger images. I have tried tessellations with paper. Hoping to see you at your CT class in March!

    I’m obsessed with stamp craving and you are responding! I’m a potter and I’ve been experimenting with putting glazes on my stamps and then steaming the image on my pots. I love all things are also so I been using them in the conventional way way to make cards. I could use some help by way of your online class or book perhaps!

  • I starting stamp carving since the moment I saw it at your blog, I also own your book and I already took your 101 carving class, loveeeeee it. I have carved around 20 different designs, but I want to get better.
    Now I will like to take the designing patterns class, I don’t understand how you print them so perfectly, so the class will be ideal for me. Thanks for the chance to win and for keeping inspiring us.

  • I starting stamp carving since the moment I saw it at your blog, I also own your book and I already took your 101 carving class, loveeeeee it. I have carved around 20 different designs, but I want to get better.
    Now I will like to take the designing patterns class, I don’t understand how you print them so perfectly, so the class will be ideal for me. Thanks for the chance to win and for keeping inspiring us.

  • I have indeed carved a few stamps. I had the supplies forever before finally trying it out. I wanted to learn because it looked like fun and a great way to add a personal touch to some of my work.

  • Hi Julie! Yes I have carved a few stamps in my lifetime. And I still love doing it. I started because it gave me a way to put my own unique mark into my artwork. Thanks for the opportunity to take one of your classes!

  • Wow, what a question… The first time I carved would have been in high school, but I remember carving gum erasers in college about 40 years ago. I think the last time I carved a stamp was about 10 years BUT it is on my list for 2017 to try again. I love stamps and have no idea why I don’t do it.

  • I needed a set of wing stamps for my art journal but could only find small ones. So I carved my own. I made the first one then inked it and stamped it onto another piece of rubber to get the mirror image. Very fun. Have done some others but I’m not great at controlling the tools.

  • The last time I tried stamp carving was summer school when I was a kid but don’t have the tools or materials to make them now. I never thought about making stamps until you featured it in your blog. I especially love the patterns and art work created by the garbage stamps and think they present a wide range of new creative possibilities.

  • Love your #CarveDecember challenge – so inspiring to see all the handcarved stamps out there!
    I’ve been carving stamps forever myself – like you I just started at some point! First using large erasers as my material and an exacto to carve! I started because I LOVE stamps and stamping and it made sense to try to make my own designs!
    I’d love to take your stamp carving classes! Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Hi Julie, I have carved one simple square outline stamp and found it easy and fun. I have just ordered your book on my Kindle (so I don’t have to wait as I’m in Australia) and intend to spend Australia Day (today) stamp carving. Don’t know if I’m quite up to a kangaroo yet. Cheers!

  • I love carving stamps but only tinkered with it over the years. Recently, I challenged myself to really spend more time carving and participated in #carvedecember. It was all your amazing posts here and on Instagram that inspired me to focus more on carving as part of my mixed media toolbox. I love being able to whip out a quick stamp to add custom marks to my journal pages. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us!

  • I have tried carving printing blocks a few times. Initially in a printmaking class carving a linoleum tile and a wooden panel. Both of these were so hard (physically, the material was really tough to carve though). I’ve tried a few times with the new softer blocks but I’ve struggled with getting the lovely fine details like you do without cutting off the detailed areas. I’d love to give it a try again with a little help from you and your instructions. I’ve got my fingers crossed that you pick me!

  • I have tried stamp carving only once, I think, but it didn’t work because I didn’t have the right tools to do it – just trying to see if it is something that I would like, before investing in the tools. I haven’t ever bought tools (after realising that you need them!) because I don’t have anywhere nearby that sells that kind of thing, and I think I would want to see the quality before buying online.

  • Yes, I’ve carved stamps. I started because I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted in ready-made stamps, and I have a very small budget! I picked up a box of erasers in the sale bin at an office supply store, carved my first alphabet, and have been going ever since.

  • I have carved stamps and I started because of you and your blog. Your tutorials looked so easy that I had to give it a try. And then I did your stamp carving 101 class. Super excited that you have a new one coming soon. This year was the first year that I participated in Carve December. It was great, as was getting inspiration from so many other carvers. Can’t wait til this December!

  • The only stamps i have carved are 2-3 from wine corks with a knife. Turned out OK, but I’ve been reluctant to spend money on materials without instruction. Your blog is giving me courage! Would love to learn the “right way” before I blunder my way through.

  • I am a NEWBIE!! Just started this past Carve December and am completely totally hooked. Then got your book and in heaven with my new stamps. I suppose I gave it a shot b/c I was encouraged by how easy and fun you made it look not to mention I love stamps, but don’t love the cost or the way the group them together. I think that’s why I love Art Fomies, you get the one you want PERIOD! Very excited to take your carving class ever since you mentioned it on last week’s podcast! Thanks for the opportunity to win 🙂

  • Yes, I have carved a few stamps! My daughter & I take an art journal class & in one of the classes we carved stamps & used them in our journals. It was one of the most fun things I’ve done & anytime we are asked to bring one or two stamps to class I always bring my handmade stamps. I would love the opportunity to take one of your online classes!

  • I have purchased Julie’s book and gone through most of the lessons, having carved a few stamps before purchasing the book. I gained a little more control with information in the book, but I still have a lot to learn.
    I began in order to create something more personal – an expression of emotion, which is a pretty tough place to start. –a girl dancing along the shore, celebrating the waves and the sun.

    Money has been tight but this is one book I will buy myself as it is so practical and useful and worth dipping into again and again.

  • I was tempted to try stamp carving when I saw some cute ones on Pinterest. But I didn’t give it a try until I saw your little “garbage stamps” on the blog. I love it. I did CarveDecember this year too. I have many, many stamp sets purchased from a well-known company but they are so expensive. They are nice for card-making but seemed “not me” enough for art journaling. I like how my hand-made stamps are uniquely mine. Thanks for the chance at the great prize!

My husband bought me some fancy carving tools last year and I haven’t stopped since! So fun! Every time you post something about stamps, I’m like, “why didn’t I think of that?”. And I already know the answer, because you are the QUEEN OF STAMP CARVING. period.

  • I fell in love with stamps as a child when I found on old set of wooden stamps in a second hand shop and pestered my Dad to buy them for me. I would love to still have those stamps! I did some lino cuts a high school and liked the look. Then nothing until a few years ago. I can’t recall the exact trigger but I sketched a whole lot of rubber (eraser) stamps on a piece of scrap paper, bought a box of erasers and some tools and started carving. At around this time I found your blog, and have been following ever since. I have your book and treasure the personal inscription you wrote at stamp camp at Jane Davenport’s beautiful Byron Bay retreat. I tried to do Carve December 2016 but had a couple of epic fails – I blame poor eyesight, but have picked it up again recently with more success. Love your work.

  • I just started carving stamps in the last six months or so. I haven’t done many and they are very simple, but I just love them! The person who inspired me is YOU. You make the mist amazing patterns! I don’t know if I could ever even think of the patterns that you come up with but I’d sure like to try. Thank you for sharing your talent and for giving us this opportunity.

You make the mist amazing patterns! I don’t know if I could ever even think of the patterns that you come up with but I’d sure like to try. Thank you for sharing your talent and for giving us this opportunity.

  • I am an engineer and also an artist. In 2014 after completing a particularly grueling major construction project I needed some way to reenergize. I stumbled into your blog and have discovered so many new art techniques, processes, ideas, Etc. Etc. Etc! My husband is a stone and wood sculptor and I “borrowed” his tiniest carving tools and old rubber gasket material for my first experiment with stamp carving. It was so much fun! I have since invested in proper tools based on your posts!!!

  • I have tried carving my own stamp. I actually tried carving into wood because I love how a wood block print looks. It didn’t really work right because I just grabbed any wood. But I have never stuck with it long enough to get any good. I remember watching your posts or videos where you would carve a stamp and you mentioning that you were practicing by carving every day?? Is that right? I can’t really remember for sure. But I was just thinking recently what an expert you have become. They are just so brilliant, especially your continuing pattern stamps you carve. I especially enjoy those numbers I just saw I think on a recent video. The numbers with the dots around them. I LOVE those! I do need to just practice because I love how homemade stamps look! And just to mention, I would LOVE this class and prize!! ;);) Thanks for all you do!

  • Thanks for this lovely giveaway, Julie. I started stamp carving when I saw you stamping on your blog and a few other blogs. Your book and your blog entries /instagram posts have been a great inspiration. The reason I started carving stamps was because it reminded me of the block printed indian textiles I grew up with. Of course, you can buy wooden blocks to print, but to be able to carve out your own design and be able to print whatever you want, was a totally different thrill. Thanks for being an inspiration, Julie and happy blogaversary !

  • I was a child (6 or so) when my mother taught me linoleum carving and we made holiday cards. That was such a great time and so special. I really had forgotten about it until I was thinking of my answer.
    I have done eraser and soft block carving because it is easier on my tendinitis. Like making my own designs for multi-media pieces and have done some portraits too.
    Thanks for all of your enthusiasm and sharing.
    Happy Blogiversary… and Happy Birthday too.
    congratulations to Linda Crowe on the winning of scan’n cut.

  • I have carved stamps. Started out in one of my collage classes and one session devoted to carving stamps. We actually carved them on gum erasers using an exacto knife. I eventually bought a stamp carving kit. I don’t do anything too intricate – no patience for it. But I do enjoy doing geometric designs.

  • Your hand-carved stamps are beautiful! I’ve tried carving eraser stamps a number of times, with mixed results. I find it hard to get clean edges and I fear I don’t have the patience to achieve the results I’d like. But I’ll keep trying!

  • I have never tried carving a stamp before, honestly it just never occurred to me! But since following your blog it has been at the back of my mind to do so, and just the other day I spotted some old erasers in a drawer, and I thought, aha! I can use those! I love how you use one very small stamp to make an overall design, very cool!

  • I have never tried carving a stamp before, honestly it just never occurred to me! But since following your blog it has been at the back of my mind to do so, and just the other day I spotted some old erasers in a drawer, and I thought, aha! I can use those! I love how you use one very small stamp to make an overall design, very cool!

  • I too did lino carving in school. But I didn’t start doing much with carving soft blocks until I started following YOU! I really started carving more often after participating in Carve December a couple years ago and then picking up your book. Thank you!

  • I just carved my first stamp in December at a class (out of a small, cheap eraser), and loved it! I inherited some old lino-cutting supplies from my grandmother but had to buy blades for the cutter, so I ordered 3 pieces of Speedy Carve at the same time. But I haven’t carved anything yet because I don’t want to screw it up, know what I mean? Would love to have your book to help me conquer my fear! Thanks for the giveaway and for all the great tips and ideas.

  • I have carved a few stamps but somehow I don’t do it a lot. Why? I have no clue. I do feel your work and stamps inspire me a lot. Perhaps it is just a matter of “just start doing”…

  • I have never carved a stamp, but have always wanted to, even purchased all the supplies needed. I don’t have a great reason why I have never started carving other than the process seems a little intimidating, worried I will mess up and destroy the stamp. Love your informative tutorials and blog posts. Thanks for amazing opportunity!

    No I have never carved a stamp. I like to dabble in many things and enjoy watercolor, collage sta pinging and beginning journaling. I had never heard of journaling until I stumbled across your blog and website. I love your blog and following you around. Where do you find the time for all of the fun things you don’t? Why have I never carved a stamp? Until I found you I never even thought about it. Please come to Minnesota?
    Thanks for helping me get my mojo and enthusiasm back.

  • I carved a stamp last week with my word of the year “focus”. I really liked the design – the “o” was an eye. However; when i carved it, I carved out the inside of the pupil and it doesn’t look right so I’m going to recarve. I did turn the rubber over and practiced on the back and it turned out alright. I am amazed at the intricate designs you carve and don’t know if I’ll ever get that good. I am especially intrigued by your tesselating stamps – M. C. Escher is one of my all-time favorite artists. I do have your book and would love to take your online class!! Happy bloganniversary! You make anything look easy – that’s why I love watching you so much!

  • I started carving because I love stamping but was also interested in patterns and how to design them. I also wanted to use stamps not subject to copyright. My first stamps were carved from erasers bought at the dollar store. They worked great on fabric I stamped with a resist and then painted. Julie I loved seeing how your carving became progressively more complex and could be used to make interesting patterns.

  • I first carved a stamp about 12 years ago. It was to save money! I could carve simple shapes, words and patterns for much cheaper than buying the sets.
    Lately I’ve been inspired by Carve December to branch out and do tesselations and use scraps as garbage stamps.
    Julie, you’re a great inspiration! Keep it fun and quirky! I love your blog ♡

I recently lost my position due to emergency spine surgeries and now have the time and attention to PLAY all day! I watch your show and love the magic that you and your guests make every week! You inspired me to get a Scan N Cut as well! I’m looking forward to learning a new technique! Thanks for the chance to win all this fun stuff! It’s incredible!

  • Love your blog Julie! I have carved stamps for atc’s or multiple pieces for swaps, but haven’t recently. Would love to win your book to get inspired to do more of it! I did some relief printing on H.S. & college, but you make it simpler and way cool for journaling!

  • I have never carved a stamp, mainly from fear. I would love some help in carving before I just jump in and hope I’m the winner of this giveaway. I can’t think of anyone who I would rather learn from.

  • I’ve carved hundreds of stamps. I think it might be neck-and-neck with painting as my favorite art form. Being able to use my own marks and images over and over again in my projects just gives me a thrill.
    And you are a big part of why I carve. I had tried it and then you kept the interest up 🙂

  • I love stamp carving; I bought Carve Stamp Play a few years ago and it’s a great resource! I keep all of your stamp carving posts for inspiration. I started carving after seeing your great blog posts and Instagram pics. I’ve participated in Carve December the last 2 years (though I only managed one stamp this December!). I love that if I need a certain shape or image, I can carve it! And though I have some of the stamp carving block, I’ve found that cheap kid’s large erasers work just as well!

  • I have a vague memory of linoleum in school, like you do, but other than that, I have not, although I am interested enough to have bought a set of cutters and carving material. It sits there lonely, and has for quite some time. I’m not sure why I haven’t jumped in. Perhaps that I have no direction. I have made my own stamps from fun foam, tho, so I guess I have kind of started on my way 🙂

    I am interested in stamp carving because its so freaking cool – I like the idea of reproduction/altering and color from something I make. I haven’t had the courage to try carving yet. I own stamps, I have made stamps from kids fun foam – I watch your blog and others to see stamp carving tutorials and lino cutting. I agree that a screen press would be a marvelous thing to have. Thank you for sharing yourself and your art. Jennifer

  • My first experience with stamping was in May 2011 and was totally inspired by your Chevron tutorial http://msmathey.blogspot.com/2011/05/moxie-fab-world-chevron-chic-challenge.html
    I’ve been following your carving journey from the beginning. I remember when you won a Cloth, Paper, Scissors award for your Print in Three Parts piece and I remember reading the posts when you were carving while on jury duty.
    I LOVE your garbage stamps and would love to take the new class when it opens.
    BTW – you even inspired my younger son to carve stamps too!
    Congrats on your 10 year anniversary and thanks so much for the inspiration you’ve provided over the years!!

    I LOVE your garbage stamps and would love to take the new class when it opens.
    BTW – you even inspired my younger son to carve stamps too!
    Congrats on your 10 year anniversary and thanks so much for the inspiration you’ve provided over the years!!

  • Fantastic giveaway! I have carved stamps before as I’ve taken your Stamp Carving 101 class (a birthday gift from the hubby) which I really loved! So if I win, I’d love to split the prize and have you draw a name for someone to take that class as I already have it.

  • I have never tried stamp carving. I am inspired to give it a try, but have not purchased the supplies yet. I have images in my head of carving stamps and continuing to carve right on into my hand. 🙁 What a bummer… Even if I don’t win the giveaway (which I would LOVE to!), I will probably give it a try. Thanks so much for your generosity, Julie!

  • The first and only time I carved a stamp was in elementary school. We made potato stamps and used them with tempra paint. I’d like to learn how to make stamps like your day-of-the-week stamps.

  • Hi Julie
    After I commented on this post, I found myself home waiting for repairmen and pulled out my carving kit. I tried to carve a heart with minor success. I cut off the scraps and made two that were small but very fun. Thanks for the invisible push!

  • I started carving stamps three years ago. I love the instant gratification I get from creating a hand made little piece of art. My friends and family all know when a letter or package from me arrives, covered with stamped images that make them smile. At Christmas I made my first hand made cards and they were a “hit” that combined my love of stampcarving with my love of cats. I purchased the Stampcarving 101 online class…but I would love a stamp made by you and the new class sounds fascinating. Thanks for sharing your wonderful “world” with me.

  • I have not carved a stamp before, but this is on my must try list. I even bought a book on stamp carving years ago, way before the internet, so that when I felt inspired, I would have some guidance. Your post has renewed that desire.

  • I am not an expert to decide who’s the best designer of hand carved stamps with the repeat quarters but Julie you are certainly at the top of my pick. It is my pleasure so own some of your art foamies designs and I really like them but hand carving my own stamps is new for me. I have hand carved block prints but stamps specifically repeat stamps or quarters is a bit more challenging to design. I have recently carved a few repeat stamps. I am catching on slowly but surely. A class would put me in fast forward design mode and I would like that very much. Thank you for the offer of a free class.
