I'm an avid crafter, and I'm always looking for new ways to craft. Making my own stamps is something I had never tried before.
There is something quite satisfying about carving away at the rubber. I started by cutting a basic design on my Cricut and adhering it to the rubber square. Then I used my Xacto knife to carve around it to reveal my design (as shown in the photos).
It was more difficult to achieve my design than I expected. I hadn't considered the need to carve on the horizontal - underneath the excess. It wasn't just a matter of tracing out my design, but attempting to level out around it. I was not terribly successful at making it look pretty, but I made the simple stamp work.
As I was attempting this new craft, I did review the information about this product.
Unfortunately, the video included in this product description does NOT match this product. It shows a rubber stamp that has a layer that is removable. This would allow much more detailed carving and a simpler execution.
To be clear, the photos and written description DO match, but the video shows a more desirable product.
I might purchase these again in future, but would be more likely to seek out the product shown in the video.
