100 Days of Stamp Carving - The Final Few - Days 92-100

 Hi Everyone!

The 100 Days Project has come to an end for this year, and I have my final hand-carved stamps to show you today.

You might notice that on days 93 and 94 I actually carved 2 stamps, so the total was really 102. I may have done this on other days too 😁

I took some photos of all of my stamps. I couldn't get them into just one photo very easily, so there are 4.

Here are the eraser stamps...

The circle stamps...

The pink Tosnail rubber, Essdee Super Carve, and lino...

Thanks to all of you that joined me on this carving journey, your lovely comments and encouragement meant so much to me.

I'm off to eat a lovely dinner now, cooked by my darling hubby. It's our 30th wedding anniversary today, so we'll be having a glass of bubbly with it 😍

Thanks for visiting,

100 Days of Stamp Carving - Days 85-91

 Hi Everyone! Happy Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you!

Here are some more of my hand-carved stamps for The 100 Day Project challenge. I can't believe it's nearly over! I decided I needed a series of pebble stamps. There's another leaf/petal also, you can't have too many of those.

I hope you like them.

Here are the pebbles altogether, balanced on top of each other.

Thanks for dropping by,

100 Days of Stamp Carving - 78-84, and a Surprise for Sheila

 Hello Everyone!

I'm back today with my next instalment of my hand-carved stamps. It's getting close to the end now, less than 20 to go!

Some more mark-making stamps, another leaf and face, and a stylised tulip to add to the collection. I love them all!

I also recently carved a stamp for my lovely blog friend Sheila of Orange Esmeralda, who expressed an interest in one of my stamps. I carved another design on the reverse of the stamp. Since I used an eraser, there was plenty of thickness to do this. 

I can show them to you now, since the package arrived safely with Sheila yesterday.

I didn't want Sheila's Teddy friends to miss out, so I crocheted them all a little flower brooch.

And I made a special card to send to Sheila too, using some of my hand-made washi tapes.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend,

Thanks for dropping by,

100 Days of Stamp Carving - 71-77

 I thought I'd better catch you up with my stamp carving. Here's another week's worth.

I decided to cut the last one up, so number 77 is 5 for the price of one!

I can't wait to start using these in my art journal. A couple have already made an appearance.

Wishing you all a happy new week,

100 Days of Stamp Carving - Days 64-70

 Hi Everyone! 

I should be getting the dinner on, so here's a very quick post of another week of stamp carving.

I really love these latest stamps, and I hope I inspire you to get carving yourselves. It's really fun and addictive!

The 100 Day Project - 57-63

 Happy Saturday everyone!

I hope you're enjoying the Easter weekend.

I have some more of my hand-carved stamps for The 100 Day Project to share with you today.

A good variety of stamps again. You might recognise no. 61 as I used it as a border on my April calendar spread, and the leafy stem and elephant were used on my recent gel prints.

Thanks for visiting today,
