Next up is stamps (!!!) I thought I might burst when I pulled my first stamp up with my own design on the paper. I can barely contain the overflow pouring out of me. This week I've been playing with some really easy-to-make stamps. They're made by burning your image into craft foam and then stamping your design. It's so affordable and simple to make using a wood-burner tool. I don't know who originated the idea but I heard about it through Milliande's printing forums. I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but I'm having fun :P
Here's a shot of my latest one.
Last but not least, a round of test prints that now have homes on my wall:
Carissa, I love the framed prints. I would like to do this but have no idea how, and I also love the stamping idea. When you say craft foam--do you mean the sheets of foam or foam board? You can email me:

Thanks so much for this info!!
Carissa your art looks beautiful in the frames! Where do you get your prints made? And I love how they look in the pendents too. That stamping looks fun.

Carissa, I received a lovely package in the mail today. It was loaded with goodies. I love the prints, they are so vivid and beautiful, can't wait to frame them. And thank you for all the treats, including a lovely pendent and extra print. I loved all the butterflies that fell out as I opened the package. What a nice touch.
