A Little House Stamp
A while ago I made a flamingo stamp out of an eraser and have been wanting to do another one for a while. I saw an adorable idea over on Pinterest and decided today was the day to make my own little house stamp.

Day 45: DIY Eraser Stamps
Time: One hour
Listening to: A comedian...I forget his name but he was funny
So I didn't feel like doing anything too extensive after getting home this evening. Right after work we buzzed over to the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts and watched the short film nominees for the Oscars. It was so fun! They (most) were so good! But we were at the theater for almost four hours so...it took some effort to want to do anything creative. Lucky for me, I had a nice little carving project tucked away for a day like today!
My friend briefly mentioned that she wanted to possibly use a flamingo stamp for a part of her upcoming wedding. So this evening, I sketched a dozen or so flamingos and then tried my hand at carving one.
It turned out pretty good. I have yet to try it with ink but it is cute, nonetheless.
I used one pink rubber eraser and an xacto knife.

Day 7: DIY Cork Stamps
Time: One hour
Listening to: Person of Interest (watching)
I was collecting corks to make this little Christmas tree I saw on Pinterest. But...Christmas has passed and I didn't quite drink enough wine to have that many corks. So what to do with the four corks I collected? Make stamps of course!
I first drew what I wanted onto the cork and then used a x-acto knife to carve out the unwanted space. As you can see above, I made a heart, a star, and then my initials. I have to admit, I had to redo the S because I forgot to flip it so it came out backwards at first! The nice thing about cork is you can just cut down a bit further and start over!
It is a bit porous, though, so you do have to use quite a bit of ink. I can't wait to write some letters and stamp, stamp, stamp away!
