A few blog posts ago I shared my cupcake stamp that I had carved from a rather soft piece of linoleum. While it was nice to carve into, it was kind of crumbly. So I scoured the web for a sturdier block. I read that a certain kind of rubber eraser also works well for carving into stamps and
Peaseblossomstudio also suggested it to me, so I tried it out this weekend.
Everything comes with a lesson I suppose. And when it comes to rubber stamp carving, next time I'll make sure to flip the image before I carve it!
What's pitiful is I didn't realize until I tried out the stamp that the image would stamp backwards. dummy.
But I definately plan on buying more erasers. It was fun and fast!

Oh, that's too funny Jam.
Can I special order one for Erin? Something like, "From the Library Of:" The right way of course, lol.

That is really funny! It didn't even click until I looked at the stamped example.
*snort*
It's so cute though! I think it'll be even better when it's flipped.
That is enough to make you cry..Funny, but upsetting at the same time..You did a wonderful job too..
LOL...I could TOTALLY see myself doing that exact same thing.
It's a really adorable image though!
Oh man... this is definitely something I would end up doing!!
oh, i do that all the time when I'm carving linoleum. save it and use it as a secret message!
Haha, that's awesome (: Well, you live and learn! It's going to be great when it's the right way around (:
Too funny! It looks like something I'd do. Only, I'd probably spell it wrong too.
Just came across your etsy shop and your blog and I love, love, love your stuff. I myself have been tooling around with rubber stamp carving lately (my favorite rubber is called Speedy Stamp by Speedball. One evening my boyfriend came over and we had a little stamp carving contest. He made the same exact mistake you did! Oh well, it's a lesson learned, right?
lol this was a cute mistake, take it as a practise!
