You guys, Carve December is once again, almost upon us!

Woo hoo! I wanted to put together a step-by-step stamp carving tutorial for beginners in case you’re on the fence about joining in. Carving your own stamps is fun, easier than you think, doesn’t have to take up much time or space, and offers new ways of thinking and creating. Watch the video for more:

Feel free to ask me any stamp carving questions you may have. I’m happy to answer your questions or direct you to where you can find the answer. Many of the answers are on THIS PAGE.

As an artist, creating hand carved stamps is a fun and easy way to make my own personal marks. You don’t need to be a printmaker to love having a library of your own personal mark making tools at your fingertips. I hope you’ll join us in December and carve at least one stamp of your own! (If you don’t want to invest in Speedy Carve, think about grabbing an old eraser to give it a go!)

Thanks for stopping by!
