How about some more #CarveDecember stamps?!  I got a little bit obsessed with hexagons for a while….

I took the colored ink pad I made for the stamp above and used it with some of my other hexagon stamps:

Pretty cool how color can change everything, isn't it?  Not to mention, how cool is the hexagon as a shape?!  For me, the easiest way to make hexagon stamps is by tracing a stencil.  That way there's no measuring involved.  :) 

Don't forget that you can see the process videos for the carving and printing of these stamps and read lots of tips on my instagram feed.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. It's never too late to join into #CarveDecember.  Just carve a stamp, post it to instagram and use the #CarveDecember hashtag!  Easy peasey!  ALSO, you have until December 31 to take 31% (because there are 31 stamps in #CarveDecember) off any of my online stamp carving classes using the code 31STAMPS.

  • I love your carve December stamps. I have now carved two stamps. I am intrigued by the cube stamp and wondered how you achieved such a complicated design! I used to draw cubes all the time as a form of doodling when I was younger. Awesome. Thank you for motivating and inspiring me.
