Description:

It’s been awhile since I posted one of these - I do hope you’ll join in!! I’ve been in a dry spell and need some inspiration (and a deadline) to get me going!

When you sign up for this swap, you must put at least 3 challenge image ideas below in the comments.

You are signing up to create 1 of the challenge images your partner will have posted below. Once your partner is assigned, check the comments below and Pick One of the suggestions, carve the image (minimum size is approximately 1" x 1"- no maximum), then send your partner their image stamped at least 5 times. You can stamp it onto sticker paper, cardstock, envelopes, decorative paper, a postcard, a greeting card, etc. Get as creative as you like. Mail the 5 stamped images to your partner by the deadline.

Please be sure to do work you'd like to receive! If your partner has images you aren't comfortable trying to create - it is up to you to message them and negotiate!

I'm putting the send date out a month to give time for botched attempts and practice if needed. You can always mail before the send deadline!

When you receive your swap don't be harsh, the person may be trying a new craft and not up to your skill level. They've met the requirements if the image is identifiable and it was stamped neatly a minimum of 5 times!

I hope you’ll join in and Happy Carving!

My challenge images: a dragonfly, a grasshopper, a tassel or old fashioned skeleton key. (Didn’t I say “at least 3”? 😂)

Oo fun! Now I have an excuse to buy bigger stamp blocks! I've only ever done them with pink erasers. ............. My challenge images: a cactus, a whale, a pattern, a postage stamp, or a seashell. Or the flag of your state or country! .............. I just wanted to add, if my partner happens to have sticker paper to stamp on I would LOVE that! I have a big sticker book and a huge collection and I think that would be so cool to have one of a handmade stamp! But also anything else is great too!

I'm brand new to this group and to stamp carving so I hope my work will measure up to y'all's!

Ooh, I'll choose bird, bat (the flying kind!), a saying (or just a word) and something in nature! Hope that wasn't too challenging!

I'm out in the garden a lot these days, so how about: a carrot, a tomato, a watering can, a garden tool
