I want to show you how easy and fun it is to carve your own rubber stamps. Once I realized how quick and simple it was, I began searching for and collecting images.

For a hand-carved stamp you want to use relatively big, simple, one-color designs with no shades of grey; designs you can easily trace and just as easily carve around.

And remember; you can always enlarge or shrink any design you find in print using a copy machine!
