making your own stamps is one of the most satisfying crafting techniques i know of! first, you start with a blank slate, piece of speedy cut, and carve away to your heart's content with a linoleum cutter and exacto knife taking your time to get your design just right. create texture, linear cross hatching and so much more with these simple tools....& wahhh-la! you have your very own custom stamp ready to be inked up & pressed onto cards, gift bags, gift wrap, envelopes, fabric, anything you can think of....AND you can use it over and over again. on our last snowy day i carved these four mushroom stamps with my friend lauren in mind. these little fungi have a vintage 70s feel and you can get real spore-like details in the under cap with the linoleum cutter. i made cute note card sets that come with chocolate brown-paper-bag flapped envelopes. you can happily purchase them on my etsy shop.... hopinkstudios.etsy.com
happy stamping!
