Material needed:
You will need:
Ink for stamps in your chosen colors
Wooden pad or acrylic base (to attach your stamp)
Paper or cotton fabric
Once you've gathered your materials, I'll show you step-by-step how easy it is!
Step 1: Draw
Use a pencil to draw a geometric shape—such as a leaf, which is very trendy right now—on your carving block.
Step 2: Carve
Using your carving tool, remove as much material as possible around your design, leaving the shape raised. The cleaner your cuts, the more beautiful your imprint will be.
Step 3: Attach to base (optional)
Adhere your stamp onto a wooden block or acrylic base to make it easier to handle during stamping.
Step 4: Ink
Apply ink evenly over your design, ensuring full coverage. If you choose to stamp on fabric, opt for Versacraft inks.
Step 5: Stamp
Press your stamp onto paper or fabric. You can repeat the pattern, combine different colors, or even create a full pattern!
