Look at what I got to play with this weekend. A really fun little stamp carving kit by Stampin’Up. They very kindly sent me one to review.
It comes with everything you need to carve and mount 4 rubber stamps.
Included in the set are:
- 2 carving tools
- 3? x 4? rubber to carve into
- 3? x 4? foam (to add padding between the wood and rubber stamp)
- 4 wood blocks (various sizes)
- 1 Island Indigo Stampin’ Write Marker
- 3 postcards to stamp onto
- Instruction sheet
- Stamp image templates
The best part though, is the 2 tools that come with the kit. Instead of one tool with several cutting pieces that you need to switch out, it come with two simple, easy -to-use tools. One with a small tip (for fine, detailed work) and one with a larger tip (for cutting away bigger areas). It’s really all you need.
There are image templates to use, if you need ideas, but I chose to make a little mermaid set with my kit.
It also comes with 3 postcards to decorate with your finished stamps.
Overall, I really love this kit. I think it would make a perfect gift and is great for the beginner and more seasoned carver. I love that you can mount your stamps on wood and that there is a marker in the set too.
FOR FUN: I thought it would be fun to send out my little mermaid postcards to 3 different people, because who doesn’t love getting stuff in the mail!. On the back I will write one of my favorite quotes. Leave a comment and I’ll pick 3 people by Monday.
(comments closed~ thank you!!)
I would love a mermaid postcard. They are so sweet.
These are great, Regina! The two portrait versions are perfect with the tail placement and the chevrons. Also? You always draw/paint/carve the best faces.
Oh, Regina, how beautiful! What a perfect thing for you, to showcase your art.
I used to do artist trading cards… I miss it 🙁
And of course, I would love to have ANY of YOUR art to add to my miniscule collection! <3
The cards are really nice and I would love to have any of your art work. I have a great desire to learn now to carve stamps. I have a friend who is a stampin up representative so I think I will order one from her
Love the design on your postcard Regina and the color. I think this stamp kit is fantastic and I would love to get hold of one. I have been wanting to try stamp carving for the longest time.
