Project: Hand-Carved Stamps

In September I started hand-carving stamps out of erasers and fell in love with this craft!!

This post isn't a tutorial, but I'll be sure to make one for hand-carving stamps in the near future!!  This post is just to show some of the stamps I've carved since September.  

All of these stamps were made from dollar store stamps that were 6 for $1!!  I'm able to make twelve 1"x1" stamps for $1 this way!!

These 3 stamps are for a Facebook friend of mine who is obsessed with owls!! I hope she likes them!!

This is a Tree of Life stamp I made for myself after making a similar one for another Facebook friend of mine.  I love this one!!

These are the first two love/Valentine's Day stamps so far.  I think the kiss turned out pretty good!!

A snail and a turtle that I made for the fun of it!!  I actually messed up the eyes on both of them, but it seemed to work out anyway!! hehehe

These are 2 hedgehogs and a squirrel/fox (I think).  The squirrel/fox was supposed to be a squirrel but I totally messed it up and tried to turn it into a fox at the last minute!

A little bird and owl.  I think the owl is pretty cute!!

An acorn and a toadstool mushroom.  Brook, my best friend, loved the mushroom so much she had me make her one too!!

A flower and a couple leaves.

These are super tiny at only 1/2" high!!  I think they're adorable!!

More tiny stamps!!  This is my collection of fruit stamps!!  They're only 1/2" too!!

And even more tiny stamps!!  Yep, you guessed it...1/2"!!  This is my party stamp collection.

Last, but certainly not least, this is the stamp I'm most proud of!!  My husband was promoted to Chief Petty Officer in the Navy this year so I made this wood-mounted anchor stamp for him as a gift.  He loves it!!

Thanks for reading!! Until next time...
