The 2nd giveaway is a Handcarved Stamp Kit
I have one DIY kit from Two Cheese Please to giveaway. The kit contains everything you need to get started - a tool with a v-gouge and flat blade, instructions, tips, and sample designs to get you started, and some rubber. Use stamp on twill tape (see below), ribbon or paper for scrapbooking or personalised cards & notes.
To enter leave a comment here telling me what your carved stamp will be used for. Giveaway closes 5pm (AEST) Friday, 28th August, 2009. Also make mention of this giveaway on your blog and you will receive another entry (be sure to tell me though)
well, i would (attempt to) carve out my logo & stamp it on anything & everything....and everyone!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh! In desperate need of making my own stamps pronto(!), but every time I go the art/craft store, I always put off buying the supplies to do so with other necessities. My top use for this lovely set would be to make custom stamps for my line of miniature, handmade cards and accessories. Thanks for the chance to win! ;)

This looks like so much fun. I would love to create some original designs to stamp onto fabric, and use in various sewing projects - bags, softies or a personalised quilt. Thanks for the offer!
ReplyDeleteKelly

This is what Melanie said before I deleted her post in error (oops!!)
ReplyDeleteI think my use for this is actually very clever! I'd give it to my daughter so *she* can carve me a stamp to use with the fabric ink stamp pads and twill ribbon I just ordered! :)
My Man & I have just cosied up, and I'd love to make a lovey-dovey M&R stamp for marking our mail and other things we do together... it'd be great to have the stamps to personalise throw cushion trim etc too!
ReplyDeletehrmmmm.
ReplyDeletei think i would probably make a card stamp too.
with 'made with love by nicole'
i'll have to practice lots before hand though, i'm not so good at writing backwards, let alone carving backwards.
Oh wow this is such a wonderful give-away!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make personal Thank-you Cards for my customers, so I would have "Thank-you" and maybe a little Love Heart.
:)

Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me...
ReplyDeleteBTW that's also what I'd attempt to carve on my stamps! I'd also try to carve Hate Me... and Love All
I say attempt to carve cos, well let's face it, I'm no artist!
I keep looking at the stamping things and thinking I'd love to have a go but so far haven't tried!! As to what I'd carve, I'm not sure as yet! Maybe something which symbolises our family and I can use on envelopes when sending out snail mail!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo I'd love the opportunity to win!! - Kerri-Ann (SS)
this kit looks great,i have only just become interested in stamps lately..i have bought some for my daughter but never thought of making your own...i would make a bird or owl stamp to use on swing tags as well as the twill i ordered...
ReplyDeletegreat comps...thanks
I am inspired by these 'envelopes'

Imagine the things you could label and stamp! I'd love to design some of my own, maybe a special one each for my sons - their clothes, bags,whatever I make them!
hi Jodie, I'd leave my mark on my handmade goodies with the stamp kit...my quality has improved and people are asking where i bought things from, when i say 'i made it' they are shocked, the stamp on twill tape as you suggest would prove it's come from me!!! Love your blog, AND newsletter...Tina
ReplyDeleteI used to create my own stamps when I was in high school using erasers. To have a proper set would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy crazy morning idea (not a lot of sleep!) was that I would love to have a shot at carving stamps of hieroglyphs for my son who has just got into exploring other languages and alphabets (he's 6, but mad for this stuff!)
ReplyDeleteI would stamp anything and everything that I could find that was stampable (is that even a word) Hey if I use the right ink it will be easier to get off than my kids stickers :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a stamp for Beach Vintage. Maybe just a "BV" stamp. Great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would love to carve out a logo or something for my labels to put on my quilts. That's assuming I'm any good at it!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make my own "Made by Christy" stamp which i will put on all my handmade crafts and gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win!
oh I'd love to try my hand at making a 'from one mum' stamp for labels for things I sew!
ReplyDeleteA lovely giveaway, thanks!
oh my goodness i really want this!! i was just told how to do this sort of thing the other day. if i won i would etch out a simple babushka doll to use on all of my gift tags. simple as that
ReplyDelete%*_*% rosey
ooohh cool give-away!! I've got an idea for printing some pillow slips and sheets with... wait for it.... LAWNMOWERS!!! so that's what I'd carve! :)
ReplyDeleteLaura
I would give it to my little sister. She is a great drawer and would love to win this kit!
ReplyDeletethanks a lot!
OOoh I didnt even know these existed. I have just started being 'creative' again after a few years in hybernation after having two little ones very close together. I have now come out of the baby haze and unfortunately have to work full time but have decided I need something for 'me' I would love to win this so I could design my own stamp to put on my creations. My children get so excited seeing Mummy be crafty and I am getting a real buzz out of it too.
ReplyDeleteHello! That's a great idea for a giveaway! I would probably use mine to create a stamp for my stationery line... If I win!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a giveaway too, check it out: http://labaleineaplumes.webou.net/?p=197
I would love to carve my daughters name so she could stamp it where ever is likes and also trace over it with a pencil or pen o get a feel for how to write her name. I don't have a blog so I twittered your comp :)
ReplyDeletebusybbee05@yahoo.com.au
Oh YES....this is something I always wanted to try! Please throw my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Spencer
I would definately use it for something to do with Little Diva Designs.... not exactly sure what though!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to carve out my little birdie in my logo to stamp on the back of packages and envelopes that I send out when lovely people purchase something from EdanRose.
ReplyDeleteI would use this stamp to carve a little family monogram to put on the backs of envelopes etc.
ReplyDeleteLove your shop.
:)
oooh...I'll carve out gorgeous little stamps for my daughter's first birthday invites - but also make sure I can use them forever more!
ReplyDeleteI would carve a stamp for my blog knithappens24.blogspot.com vbarton24 @ gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this stamp set - my 6 year old daughter loves designing, so she can do her designs for the stamps, and I will carve them for her, and then she can use them for making her own cards.
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make thankyou gift tags for my little mans 1st bday
ReplyDeleteOh the stamping on twill tape is rather cool, I could make my own labels for my girls school clothes... but I have a hankering to make some kind of christmas design and stamp my own gift tags.. maybe?
ReplyDeletewww.picklebums.com
I love giving gifts with wrapping that can be recycled so I think I would grab some twill tape and stamp it with a generic pattern such as flowers or hearts, trucks or robots and stamp away!
ReplyDeleteThen wrap up my gifts and go.
I used to love to linoprint but this has been harder to find either the time or the space to do since I had my DD. Hoping this kit would reinspire me to keep carving, just on a smaller scale.
ReplyDeleteWould love to make some little notecards to use as thank you's. Not thank you's for presents, just to send as little random thoughts to people I care about.

I think I'd stamp up some cards and envelopes to match! I know, not terribly creative *L*
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to stamp onto fabric - once I'd carved it of course! I have this plan for personalised teatowels for my nearest and dearest and with Xmas closing in I need to get cracking! And carving.
ReplyDeleteWould love to carve out a little logo girl that I've been working on for my blog...
ReplyDeleteLove this prize! Would love to use it to stamp on twill to individualize for my little boy's clothing.
ReplyDeleteSusan :)
I would use it also to carve out my 'Dance in my garden' icon - a star flower....I think it would be a good personal touch to add to my tags.
ReplyDeleteLuisa
I would use it to create a stamp to label all my handmade goodies and I would make see about how stamping into handmade soaps would work?
ReplyDeleteWell... I think I would like to carve a little bunny, with floppy ears! I think would do nicely for all the cards I send out with my orders!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Bec.
I'd actually love to win this not for myself, but for my friend Ethan. He's a fifteen year old who's really into sewing and craft, and I've heard him say how much he'd love one of these, before. I think we should encourage younger people - especially boys - to get into sewing and handicrafts, if that's what they love.
ReplyDeleteSO I'd like to win, to give it to him as a surprise.
I would use it to stamp the paper carry bags I use at the markets when selling my things, and also to stamp the brown paper packaging I wrap my postal orders in.
ReplyDeleteAm looking at buying a stamp kit anyway, but winning one would be such a nice thing to happen!
I would use it to make stamps for book covers, and for generally putting my name on stuff!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try and do some stamping on fabric! How cute and individual! I might need a bit of practice though, and a kit to help me out!
Years and years ago, I used to "kill time" in school by carving designs into my erasers and using them as stamps. It's not been 24 hours since I've stumbled across this again on your blog and some others and I am itching to get into it again. Since giving birth 8 weeks ago, I have a lot of time on my hands (well, a lot more than what I am used to) and so to pass away the time when he's off in sleepyland I can't wait to start making custom made presents for my friends, family and especially for him. Whether I win one of your packs or not, I'm so excited to get going. Thanks for the inspiration!!
