Undefined Snail Belated Birthday Flip Card

Did you see my post from yesterday about the new Undefined Stamp Carving Kit from Stampin' Up!? Be sure to check it out here. It is so fun to make your own stamps and the possibilities are endless!

I carved a custom stamp for today's project -- a snail! Isn't he the cutest?! I find it difficult to cut small details like eyes and smile, so I add those later with a marker.

Here's the finished card:

It's a flip card and it was SO easy to make with the new Thinlit Card dies! One crank through the Big Shot was all it took to get the right cuts and scores for this card. And I didn't even use any of the accessory dies on this card! Learn more about the new Thinlit Card Dies here.

Did you see the little present on top of the snail? The stack of presents and the little stamp both came from a new Christmas stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. But without the greetings, they sure look like birthday presents to me!

Undefined Stamp Carving Kit from Stampin' Up!: Practice Stamps

I've been having fun with the new Undefined Stamp Carving Kit from Stampin' Up! Once I start carving, it's hard to stop! Here are some images that I created with stamps that I carved.

 

My 8 year old daughter got into too! She loves crafting and was so excited to make her own stamps! There are just the first two stamps in her fruit stamp set. I like to think of it as the healthy version of the breakfast food stamp set that Shannon West showed us at Convention. Missed her stamps? Check them out here.

 

I bought some "practice rubber" from an art supply store. The rubber I found is a lot softer than the piece that comes in the Stampin' Up! kit, which makes it easier to make a mistake! But it took the pressure off to be able to practice on these scraps before carving the nice rubber. The rubber that comes in the Undefined Kit is very firm (but still easy to carve) so it won't break or fall apart! As the saying goes: you get what you pay for! And this girl likes quality!!

There are two kits. The first one includes the carving tool, a marker, postcards, and templates. The refill kit includes more rubber, foam, and blocks. Check out this video from Stampin' Up! to learn more about the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit and visit my Online Store to Buy It Now.
, Here are some more images, created by some of my downline in Michigan. I enjoyed visiting with them earlier this month when I was there with the kids.

 

 

 

Be sure to check back tomorrow! I carved a special stamp to use on one of the make and takes for our demonstrator meeting in Springfield! 

In the meantime, check out Stampin' Up!'s Undefined board on Pinterest to find more samples of what people are carving with the Undefined Kit!
