I'm continuing to put together projects for Scrapbook Soup. I carved up two new interlocking stamp sets (chevron and triangle) and paired them with an old favorite set (circles).
If you can't tell from the photo, interlocking stamps are stamps that fit together. These are really simple ones. In the past I've done some fancy ones like this:
I combined the prints from my little two-part interlocking stamps with one of my favorite stamps I carved during #CarveDecember…
…in order to create this scrapbook page:
The heart detail is one of my favorite parts.
I cut the heart shapes from grungeboard, using my ScanNCut. Then I added stamping, heat embossing, and several layers of paint!
This layout has unusual colors for me: dark rather than bright. I like to change things up and try to get out of my comfort zone when I create. Sometimes it's a success and sometimes it's simply an adventure. Either way, time spent making stuff is awesome! :)
You can get complete instructions on creating interlocking stamp from my book, Carve Stamp Play, or on the upcoming season of Scrapbook Soup!
Thanks for stopping by!

These are beautiful, Julie! I dearly love that leaf pattern on the background page and those gorgeous hearts! You are so incredibly creative!

Hi Julie,
LOVE your work — and your energy. You’ve hooked me on carving stamps and it’s been a very relaxing thing to do in some recent stressful times.
How did you maintain the clear space on the pod pieces you did? Did you make a mask? Inquiring minds want to know!

Your layouts are beautiful. I love the leaf pattern. Your hand carved interlocking stamps are so clever. I so need to learn how to do this. You’re very creative and talented. Michelle t

Those book pages with the poppy seed heads are awesome. I wish you had shown the stamps, though–to see how they interlock!

This is very cool! I think I need more info to visualize this – it’s the first time I’ve seen it. So you make one stamp of triangles recessed and one stamp has a protruding side? And then you stamp first with the recessed stamp and then over that with the other? This might make a fun class 😉
