LOVE hand-carved stamps, might have to try my hand at them myself!

i have never ever thought stamps were THIS cool…until now. i love these all so much. i seriously have an urge to blow serious $$ on some seriously cool stamps.

Wa! What an awesome collection, just love them all! And have to say that I love the imperfections in hand carved stamps. Makes them real! Thanks for putting this together. :)

Gosh, I want a ball of yarn and knitting needles stamp but that kitty kat one sure is cute. And that scalloped edge stamp would sure come in handy for making some DIY fabric prints on a bedspread, pillow or even a collar or border print on a skirt or a dress.

This post makes me smile so much! Who doesn’t love a cute, hand-carved rubber stamp?

great post! thank you for sharing :)

Posts like this are why I read blogs. This morning I never would have thought to get up and seek out hand-carved stamps on Etsy. I just spent 15 minutes looking at the ones you posted and I want them all – I’m excited and inspired! Just what I needed to get me through Wednesday morning. Merci!

dying of awesome right now!

ahh I love these! I would have such a hard time picking my favorites.. the love crane, washi tape, blueberries. I love carving these too but it is always so encouraging to see what others are up to!

wow-e-wow. i love this post. so many stamp diy projects to tackle this weekend!

Fun choices!

These are so amazing! Probably the best handcarved stamps I’ve seen and the designs are so cute!

What a great resource!! I will be sure to mark this page as you have already
found the best!!! I love the places where you show the stamps used on photos..
GREAT post! :)

I love every single one of these!! But the onion and blueberries would be the most appropriate for my home. :)

Makes me want to bust out my block carving tools and deface an entire magazine, Grace. Super fun post! :) (Hope all is well on your end of the world!)

Thank thank thank you for sharing. I’m stamp obsessed and this post really contributes to my addiction.

I raced right over to Etsy to get that blueberry stamp for a friend and left with some raspberries as well. Left after favorite-ing a number of other stamps. Thanks!

What fabulous and quirky stamps! Really brilliant. I am keen on potato stamping which is so quick and easy to do but the intricacy and permanency of these is to be admired. Thank you for sharing them

These are all great! I love the doxie one. I’ve carved a few stamps myself from the pink carving blocks and have to say the process is very relaxing. Just don’t cut yourself!

Does anyone have any advice about different types of stamp pads? Pigment inks come in lots of really nice colors, but I find their slow drying time to be really frustrating. There’s always the option to use embossing powders on top, but that just adds one more step. I’ve tried a dye-based stamp pad and it bled through my papers. I’ve seen chalk pads, but I’m not familiar with them at all.

I like them all!! but milk box stamp is so lovely!

I loved this round up – these stamps have great personality!

There is nothing better than getting a handwritten letter, especially one covered in these adorable stamps!

Stamps are so much fun. I have a couple of hundred vintage ones and a fair few new ones too :P Luckily I can use them in my ‘real person’ job as a school teacher :)

Grace…..I love d*s because you’re always full of surprises and this post was fun to wake up to….Off to grab an anchor stamp….Ahoy! ;-) and thanks, as always, for the morning eye candy!!

i love this post! I’ve started carving stamps this year.. my husband got me all the stuff to do it. i had no idea how easy it is. ANYONE can do it.

Ahhhh, the last stamp photo is the milk carton from that old Blur video! LOVE.

I’m obsessed with return address rubber stamps! We have a cool one designed by Molly Jacques and it seriously makes me want to send out letters/invitations for EVERYTHING.

What are they carved out of?

I’d like to Make some …
Theese are sooo beautifull.
Some of them look really intricate.

These are beautiful, inventive little stamps. Massively satisfying to make I’m sure. Very time consuming though! Love the idea of personalised stamps and using them to sign cards and letters. Really pretty. Geometric shapes are properly cool too! Great post!
