Stamp of the Month

February 8th, 2010

I’ve deccided to do a little feature post each month here at Life’s Visual Journal. I’ll be making and posting a stamp each month. If you want me too, I might even post a tutorial (let me know) on what I used and how the design came to be. If you have a suggestion for a stamp, please let me know!

/></p> <p>Last month I went a little crazy and made several! I know I should have posted them back then, but 'meh' I didn't have time!</p> <p>They are lots of fun to make. The large ones are carved from lino, and the small ones are just from cheap rubbers/erasers from the $2 shop (and I think they ACTUALLY cost $2, who would have thunk it?!) The large ones I printed using paint, not ink, and I don't like how they turned out- all liney from the paint brush...</p> <p><img src=

Also, I want to make a little vote at the end, so please put in the comments which one of the small ones is your favourite!

Balloon: Cute? I thought it would be good for b’day cards…

Cupcake: Also handy for birthday cards, and scrapbooking birthday/cooking days

Button: I’m not sure why I did this… I may have just been lacking inspiration?! I like buttons though…

Bunting/Triangles: Inspired by Kim, who is currently making bunting for her wedding. The stamp is just triangles, but when you put them in a line with some drawn ‘rope’ they’re bunting! Yay! Also, you can decorate the stamps with pen once they’re on the paper. :-D Would be cute to write a word in the triangles… (one letter per triangle).\

So what do you think?! What’s your favourite? Would you like to win one as a giveaway some time?! What should I make for this month?!
