handstamped cards

I’ve been wanting to have more time for making this fall, ready to get my hands dirty and inkstained. In the past few weeks, that’s finally started taking shape… Here are a few outtakes from an afternoon spent with handcarved stamps, some colorful ink pads and a stack of stark white notecards.

The set on the left are fill-in-the-blank style cards for everyday notes, thank yous and all. I love these polka dots! The handmade quality of the stamps gives the prints an extra bit of texture, which I really like.
