Here’s how I was inspired today:

I used a thrifted stamp for the first time. If you’re a crafter, you know how easy it is to accumulate supplies that never get used.

I combined these woodblock stamps:

  • Great Impressions – Trees [not labeled]*
  • Impress Rubber Stamps – Greeting from WA*

I love the look of watercolor paper but it a challenge to stamp on without a Misti helping you out. Thank goodness for my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I should have included it in my photos. If you don’t know, it’s an old school stamp positioner that works beautifully with woodblock stamps.

#keepingthingsreal I had a bit of a ‘dang it’ moment when I was stamping so it double stamped the trees…I embraced it and made it a forest of trees. The sentiment has been stamped in Cranberry and I used my white Kuretake Gansai Tambi paint for the snow.

I can’t wait to see how you’re inspired this month!

  1. Absolutely love this card, Amy! Thank goodness I kept an old stamp positioner that’s 2 pieces made of acrylic. It works, but easier for something to get moved than when using a MISTI. Hope to get a card made and posted this time.

  3. Love this card! So perfect for that sentiment. I think I have a stamp from Rochester, but I’ve never known quite what to do with it. Now I wonder if it survives the regular purges I make.

  4. Such a beautifully created card with all those pretty trees. This is such a great challenge allowing us all to use our woodblock stamps, I once had started taking my stamps off the blocks but quit that long ago and am so happy I did. I have 18 12 x 12 containers of woodblocks, lots of SU ones and 5 drawers full, but I had friends give me all theirs and I gladly took them off their hands lol!!

  5. I had to smile to see that Karen Walker posted a card using the same stamp that I used. It is a beautiful design, either uncolored or colored! Happy to have it in my collection!
    Love the pretty trees you used, Amy! I admit to stamping my holly & berries image SIX times before I got a great impression! Finally what worked best was getting on my hands and knees to stamp it down on the floor, with about 10 sheets of copy paper as a pad under my cardstock….. success! I had lots of leverage to press hard. I do have two old stamp positioners, but not where they were very handy. haha!

  6. First time to participate and hopefully I’ll be back each month! I’ve got lots of old woodblock stamps with a few sentiment ones that get used often but lots of others that are just ‘orphaned’ in stash storage! 🙂

    Thanks for a great inspiration sample that used 2 woodblock stamps!

  8. Fabulous inspiration from everyone! I love this challenge as I’m an ‘old’ crafter with lots of wooden block stamps that I started out with YEARS ago! LOL How much fun to have the chance to ink them up again!
    Congrats to BFF Diane on her win! Well done!
    Thanks again for this fun challenge opportunity! See you again at the end of the month.
