Thanks for sharing! I've been carving for a year now but it's still always a pleasure watching other people doing it. You're also loads of fun to listen to! 😀
Hi! I actually just found your channel from doing my 3rd try at #DIY #stampcarving project! I am actually carving a copy of one of my daughters Christmas cards to me. She wrote “HO HO HO!” & “love” & so I pencil copied with regular paper onto a small cheap circular $4 carving block from overseas. I was so worried about how horrible it is turning out as I was carving while listening to your video... Now after hearing your honesty about u being a beginner & also what you said basically: ppl think try it once & you’ll be good at it & are discouraged because they’re NOT Artists at it right away... & I had to SUBSCRIBE! THANK You for saying that I been teaching my daughters both art since they were very young & my youngest is incredible at it. Born natural. But since discovering the internet she gone off on COMPARING & now wont create due to that! Anyways thank you for your inspiration and honesty!
Big welcome and thank you for subscribing! I am glad that my saying these things have helped. I hope that both of your daughters don't get put off from what they see, there is just so much talent that it is hard not to be put off when we compare our work to others, I know the feeling well! But what we often don't see is their starting points or how much work they have put into it. So I really hope your daughter comes around again and keeps at her art and keeps enjoying it!
I've been having trouble with inside corners so I'm delighted with your tip about using the knife. You've encouraged me to keep trying! I so enjoy your videos. Great content and presentation and a voice that just draws me in with its enthusiasm and friendliness. Thanks so much!
+Robin Alcorn it is my pleasure Robin ❤️ thank you for your lovely comment, it is wonderful to hear that you are enjoying my videos and I'm so glad I could help! ❤️
I HAVE been doing stamp carving, and getting on well with it! The learning curve portion of any project is actually something I really enjoy, because the challenge thrills me. Like you, every time I try to use another tool, I always seem to go back to what I started with-just a craft knife. I love that ever since I started doing videos on stamp carving, the mighty RUclips algorithm has been recommending all these older stamp videos to me. Subbing to see what else you’ve done-and I really love that glue stick tip!
Kim Dellow the thing that I love the most and expected the least on youtube is the WONDERFUL community of kind, supportive, and inspiring fellow artists. It’s always nice to make a new friend. =^.^=
Loved! Love the slightly rough look, which is perfect for mixed media projects. A craft shop near me runs classes and they did this one, but I couldn’t make it. I may have to check if they’re going to run it again. Looks a lot of fun! Xx
+Ruth Andrews - Crafting While the Baby Naps oh it is fun Ruth, definitely try it 😀 and I think you can definitely get away with that naive look with stamp carving 😂😂 perfect for mixed media 🤣
Hey Kim, I am rubbish at carving. I bought some of those small little circle ones, but they are quite limiting. This was helpful and I think I'll get some of the other you've suggested to try again. Thanks x
Thanks Anne. It is quite a satisfying process and you end up with something you can use again and again! So I would definitely recommend it 😁 I hope you have fun trying it out!
Oh really enjoyed this I've been meaning to give it a go but obviously much to late for Carve December ha ha!!! Just got to get the block to carve but I do believe you can you use rubbers/erasers as well, for simple things anyway! Tfs Kim 😊😊
Esta técnica me atrae mucho, es nueva para mi y deseo aprender , tengo la herramienta y si deseo aprender a usarla , necesito me enseñen los pasos a seguir y los materiales que necesito, gracias
Hi Tina, if you are watching on desktop via your browser you can find the video settings if you hover your mouse over the bottom of the video. There is a little symbol like a cog, click it and you get various setting including playback speed. If you are watching on mobile via the RUclips App then if you tap on the video as if to pause it, a number of icons line up at the top of the video, click the three dots on the right to get the playback options. If you are watching in any other format I am not sure how to find the settings but they are usually found on the video when you pause it or tap it.

What a lovely pattern and a super video on stamp carving please share more of your videos.

Thanks Steff. There is something lovely about watching a stamp being carved and then printed isn't there?!
I'd say you don't need to much practice. That stamp is awesome!! 😊😊
Oops too much practice.
+Judy Daino ahh thank you Judy 😘

Oh wonderful! Well I'm glad you are here and I am looking forward to watching your channel too! It's great to meet new artist video makers!

Wow, that was great, you carved a beautiful stamp.
Thank you!

+Ruth Andrews - Crafting While the Baby Naps oh it is fun Ruth, definitely try it 😀 and I think you can definitely get away with that naive look with stamp carving 😂😂 perfect for mixed media 🤣
This is awesome. You made it look so easy. TFS
This is nice. At the moment, I'm carving on erasers. I ordered small circles and squares of stamp material for when I get better. It's fun so far.
Glad you have been having fun with it. And have fun playing with the new shapes!
Very cool. Had no idea this existed!!!
Ooo a whole new creative world to explore for you then! Wonderful!
Hey Kim, I am rubbish at carving. I bought some of those small little circle ones, but they are quite limiting. This was helpful and I think I'll get some of the other you've suggested to try again. Thanks x

Love this! Just what I’ve been thinking of trying. How do I slow down the speed of the video, please?

Nice work,but very annoing voice
Why do you do something so complicated to start with ?
