New Craft Stamper out this week!


The January edition of Craft Stamper is out this week, and includes a colourful little article by moi!  Here's a few sneaky peeks:


Dylusions ink sprays, Golden fluid acrylics, Tim Holtz stamps, Sizzix dies .... Have a look here for all the details.


As you know, I have been doing an on-line class with the fabulous Mindy Lacefield, and have found myself doing all sorts of unexpected things! Like this ... carving stamps from foam. OMG this could be my new addiction LOL!!


Byee for now ....

    It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same out of date rehashed information.

  13. your carved stamps are amazing!! How do you get the "unstamp" part to be so smooth? mine look like hills and valleys. thanks.

  14. Suzie, I 'carved' these stamps by burning extra thick craft foam with a woodburning tool. That's why they look smooth! It's quick, easy and totally addictive, but you can't get the same amount of detail as when carving easycarve with a lino tool. x

  17. Ooh, looking forward to my copy of CS this weekend.
    I carve with easy carve, never thought of wood burner and foam.....am wondering if a soldering iron will work.....i feel an experiment coming on!

    Just finished decorating my Dec 365 journal page, just need to take a photo and upload it....cannot believe it has been a year!

    1. Hi Kyla,. I have carved stamps both ways - you get a different effect and a different result. Try a soldering iron and see what happens!!
