Undefined - Carve Your Own!

I had the best time the other day. I busted out my Undefined stamp carving kit and made my very own "one of a kind" set of stamp images. Here is the crazy thing. While testing my new images I made the biggest mess. I was so into it that there was no way I was going to get up and wash my hands to get rid of the ink that I was getting all over, seriously the ink was getting everywhere, but I was in my element and I wasn't about to stop the fun.

I must share the fun of all this so, if you are in the San Jose Bay Area and want to learn to carve your own stamps come to my hands on workshop and party. The class is being offered on Friday, April 25th at 6:30 p.m. A full Undefined Kit and all paper supplies will be included in the $25 class fee. Email me if you are interested.

For my first card I wanted to add a bit of dimension, so I hand cut my own flower to match the simple floral image that I carved. To make the flower it couldn't be easier. I punched one circle and made snips inward. I made the leaves with the same circle punch. To finish the flower I added a Jumbo Rhinestone to the center. That single one seemed a touch out of place so I added Basic Rhinestones and then I was happy with the look.

Supplies for both cards includes:

• Stamps - Undefined Carving Kit, Another Thank You Photopolymer
• Inks - Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Basic Grey, & Jet Black Staz On ink pads
• Papers - Whisper White, Basic Grey, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, & Bermuda Bay card stocks, Silver Glimmer Paper
• Accessories - Jumbo and Basic Rhinestones, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Silver Bakers Twine, Deco Label Collection Framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals
