I’ve shared this little tidbit on the blog before but for the uninitiated I will confess it again – I am a stamp fiend. I love stamps. I have many stamps, but I’ve never carved my own. Well not until Sunday that is. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at a new product from Stampin’ Up called Undefined. It’s perfect for the times when you need a particular stamp that isn’t in your kit. Undefined lets you create your own.
Now lets get this out of the way. I’m not artistic. I’m one of those people that writes about art instead of creating art. I’m cool with that. But being artistically challenged isn’t a problem with Undefined. If you can draw a design – that’s cool, but you also have a heap of pre-designed templates that come with the kit. Just trace over the design with a pencil (I used a 6B), lay it on the rubber and rub. The design transfers to the rubber mat so you can start carving.
I must say I’m addicted to this now. It brings back memories of lino cutting in high school (except I’m a smidge more patient and waaaay less angsty these days).
Want to win you’re very own Undefined kit thanks to my friends at Stampin Up. Enter below! (Sorry, this is an Australian-only giveaway.)
I will carve an envelope.
Great idea Meredith!
So cool. Would make an awesome Christmas present!
It sure would Amber!
I love this idea, as a printmaker in junior school! Would be great to carve prints and print them on vintage paper (text books etc) for cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
I love your bear stamp! I would carve my maneki neko cat if I win this. Hope I win 😀
