Video: Stamping On Wood + Giveaway
Hello! Although I am hosting the Share Handmade Kindness Challenge this month, I will still be sharing more normal stamping, cardmaking and die cutting videos. However, they will all tie into the let’s-give-what-we-make theme. Today? Today I show how easy and fun it is to stamp and color on wood embellishments.

Oh me oh my these little guys are extremely addictive! So much fun to make! In fact I plan to have the kids make a bunch of these for Christmas ornament gifts.
All you need is some type of wood embellishment. I used Amy Tangerine’s Wood Slices and they are perfect. However, you could use large wood veneer embellishments or even wood paper (which can be die cut into any shape you want). Just stamp with permanent ink and add heavy coloring with colored pencils. I am a big fan of Prismacolor – they go on like butter.
And aren’t these stamps the cutest? They are from this month’s My Monthly Hero kit. You get the stamps and dies… and even the faux moss on the bottom of the pieces. This stamp set was designed by the uber-talented Kathy Racoosin. I am so proud of her! Hurry – last month’s kit sold out fast and I bet this one will also.
These would be to hang on a plant to give as a gift… or adhere them to the front of a card. I tell ya – they are addictive!
