I've been working on designing my Baby Shower invitations! A fun task for any mom-to-be and most definitely for an artist! I decided that I wanted to carve a stamp for the invitations. And so, I drew out a sketch, carved the stamp…
…and then realized it wasn't going to work. Two reasons why:
- This image makes it seem like I'm having twins — which I'm not.
- There's a scratch in the block, which shows up in the prints.
The flaw in the block is less of an issue. The fact that it looks like I'm having twins is more of an issue.
Regardless, I decided to try again. I thought about re-carving the block with an altered design? But instead I decided to completely change direction. This is what I came up with:
And I think it's a winner. It's not quite as whimsical as my first design, but I think it will be great for the invitations!
Thanks for stopping by!
they are both darling. you will make use of the first one at some point. but i ADORE the “oh, boy.”
thanks for the youtube subscriptions … a ‘thumbs up’ doesn’t pay the bills or help with renovations. it is a nice way for us to give back for all you do for us who want to art but are afraid to do so.
how fortuitous baby’s arrival coincides with move in season. best wishes, Julie&Steve!!!

I love both designs! However, I would have carved out the two eggs and made a separate “yolk” with the other design…because that adventure is too cute to abandon!

Both are great but my first thought on seeing the eggs was “Hey, she didn’t tell us she was having twins”. So, the second one is the winner!

Love them both, you can still use the first one and stamp it on a small quilt or a pillow for the nursery.
