Carving Citrus Stamps

Description
A friend of mine started "Art Fun 101" monthly classes at our church about three years ago and she does the best job of coming up with new fun things for us to make each month. Last month she wanted to make citrus stamped tea towels, but when she tried using actual citrus to do the stamping according to a tutorial she was following, she said it was super messy and didn't turn out well. I volunteered to make some stamps for our group to use and they worked so much better thankfully!

I used:
Everyday Captured Vol.3 | Templates by ninigoesdigi
Peel Good (bundle) by Little Butterfly Wings
The Skinniness by Heather Joyce (journaling)

I agree, I wish I lived nearby to attend the crafty fun! You made wonderful stamps. That's so amazing. I love the tea towels you made. I would use them as curtains in my kitchen. Love this page, love the creativity.

I learned how to carve stamps a couple years ago with an art journal box subscription I had at the time. We learned how to do monoprinting. You use a carving tool that has a couple sized "V" shaped blades and then you carve out of a sheet of rubber (or you can use linoleum sheets too). It's super fun to carve out of the rubber... it's like butter. Lol. Some of the other stamps I made using thick craft foam. You cut shapes out and glue them to cardboard or wood. It's a little harder to get detailed shaped out of the craft foam, but I think those actually stamp better with paint. It's a whole rabbit hole to go down... just FYI :giggle

I was just wondering if this is like the linoleum carving we used to do in school? I have those tools in my house somewhere.

You know I'm lazy but you may have inspired me to try it with my Silhouette. :giggle
