Stamp Swap

I signed up to participate in a little stamp swap Moki is organizing. You had to make an original stamp and use it to create 20 pieces of stationary and to stamp 20 of something else (I did gift tags). I was a little intimidated because I’ve never carved a stamp before. First I tried some potato stamp carving, which was okay, but I couldn’t seem to get the accuracy I was looking for. I went to AC Moore to see what kind of stamp carving sets they carried, but it turns out they don’t carry any! So, I bought an art gum eraser to carve. It was so easy to do!

Here is the bird stamp I created

And here is the fold over card. Each card has a different letter of the alphabet on it.

And here is the gift tag.

This was a fun and challenging swap. I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else created. I love this artichoke stamp and I know when my package arrives I will be amazed.
