Fun News!

My hand carved stamps are going to be published!




I am so excited! I just received the news that my hand carved pug stamped cards will be in a new book, 1000 Handmade Greeting Cards.

I entered the contest through a post I read on Etsy. I believe they are still accepting entries, and the book will be published sometime next year.

Speaking of carving stamps, I had the pleasure of carving Miss Maisie for my friend, Linda.




It is fun to change the effect by printing them on different color and textures of paper.

Here are 3 cards I made and the stamp itself carved out of PZ-Kut.

Here is a Stamp I made of my sister's corgi, Moe.

And my favorite stamp I created, a self portrait of me and Emmitt.
