We have a fun feature for you today! Paging our woodblock stamps – please come forward and step into the spotlight. You are timeless classics and your crisp impressions make our red-rubber-loving hearts happy. ❤ It's your time to shine.
Now please join us in welcoming our good friend Amy Tsuruta to the blog, enjoy some lovely inspiration, and learn more about "Woodblock Wednesday"!
Do you have a stash of woodblock stamps? Every month I post projects for Woodblock Wednesday and I’m excited to collaborate with Hero Arts! Today I’m sharing two projects that feature fabulous Hero Arts woodblock stamps. First up, a bit of background regarding Woodblock Wednesday .
I decided to start a monthly feature that would inspire me and others to use their woodblock stamps. The projects that have been shared have been amazing and I always enjoy reading the backstory of stamps that are used. I’d love for you to link up a newly created project that features a woodblock stamp over
on my blog
.
Today I’m featuring two new Hero Arts woodblock stamps:
•
Go Left
•
Live and Let Love
Here’s how I was inspired:
My first project features:
•
Go Left
•
Designer Woodgrain
My overall color palette for both projects is:
• Granite
• Dove White
One of my all time favorite stamps is the
Designer Woodgrain
. The beauty of woodblock stamps is how they stamp perfect impressions every time. I did tone on tone stamping with the Designer Woodgrain. The
Go Left
sentiment has been
heat embossed in white
on
Granite
cardstock. I cut the sentiment with the
Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies
.
My other project features:
•
Live and Let Love
•
Flowering Nasturtium
I wanted to add a pop of color so I used
Neon Orange
ink (direct to paper) to add another paper panel layer. The
Flowering Nasturtium
has been stamped with
Granite
ink on the
Granite
panel. The sentiment has been heat embossed in white and cut with the
Nesting Circle Infinity Dies
.

Great stamps and designs. Love the blog. ❤️
Woodblock stamps were my introduction to stamping and Hero Arts’ background stamps were my fave! I think I owned almost every background stamp that was produced! I’ve yet to participate in Amy’s WW but hope to very soon!
Woodblocks? Ha! That’s all there was when I started stamping back in the 90s. And, I still have quite a few woodblock stamps that I’ll never give up. And quite a handful are Hero Arts. I need to pull those out and create!
Thanks for your continued inspiration!
I love the combination of stamp designs used. Wood stamps are how I started and so will always love them!?
Amy’s monthly challenge is reminding me of all the beautiful woodblock stamps in my collection. Sometimes with clear stamps and dies we forget what great impressions rubber mounted wood block stamps make. Thank you for sponsoring Amy’s Woodblock Wednesday challenge this month.
