Description:

I enjoy carving my own rubber stamps and making ATCs. I would like to have one made by you.

The stamp that YOU carve should be the main element in the design of your ATC. Embellishments are welcome, just remember the finished cards must fit into a standard trading card sleeve.

Each person will have 3 partners and send 1 ATC to each partner. Only original ATCs please, no computer generate ones or copies!

Artist trading cards are 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches, and should be flat enough to slide into a standard trading card sleeve.

Please be sure you can meet the mailing deadline of May 4th before you sign up for this swap.

Newbies are welcome. Please don't sign up for this one if you have a swap-bot rating lower than 4.

What do you use to carve your stamp? I'd like to try this.

Donnaj,

I like Staedtler Mastercarve. The ad says cuts "like butter" and it does. I live in the US so my references will be American store; Hobby Lobby, Dick Blick, Jerry's Artarama. Michael's may carry it but if not I know that they carry a product made by Speedball. Some people carve erases.

Here is one place to go for instructions

Good luck. Hope you decide to join us. Any more questions, please ask.

I like Staedtler Mastercarve also, and I have used the white erasers, which I think are also made by Staedtler, so maybe they're the same material.
