I've got another round of daily rotating repeat stamps to share with you.  All of these stamps are about one inch or smaller and took me less than 30 minutes to design, carve, and print.  Here are days 18-23:

You may recall that back in 2015, I bought and tried out the FlexCut Micro-Palm Cutters Set.  I didn't like them.  And so they have sat in a drawer since then.  Well, I decided it was time to bring them back out and give them another try.  Everything from this point on was carved with the FlexCut tools

I struggled with the first stamp.  Like a new pen or a new brush, it can be difficult to get used to something that requires different pressure and angles.  But I've been growing in confidence with the tools and now I'm feeling pretty good about them.  Note the level of detail in the final stamp and print.  I'm going to continue to use them and get more and more comfortable with them with practice and time!

Thanks for stopping by!
