I’m a bit of a stamp hoarder (thankfully I can hide them at my office now), so I thought it would be fun to round up my favorite hand-carved examples on Etsy. There are some pretty decent stamp sellers on Etsy right now, so there is a TON to choose from here (organized into groups: love, symbols and shapes, nature and random). My favorites are kinda quirky, but hopefully there will be something here for everyone. Who doesn’t love getting real mail with a little stamp on the seal? It’s the best.

You've seen my labels before on my Acorn Patch Pillow, Vintage Postcard Pillow, and Scrap Buster Fall Pillow... Easiest Design Transfer Method You’ll Ever Find.

Today with some help from the kids we made some candles to give to my parents on Valentine's Day. You will need some regular paper, tissue paper, tape, sharpies or markers, a candle, wax paper, and a heat gun.

First, I taped a piece of tissue paper, about the size of my candle, to a piece of copy paper. Markers will bleed through the tissue paper pretty easily so you will need something to protect your table, and it was easier for the kids to draw on the tissue paper when taped to the "paper". When your little artist is done, remove the tissue paper from the copy paper. Next, you are going to take a piece of wax paper that is larger than your candle. Once you have heated the entire design gently peel back your wax paper and make sure the entire design is adhered to the candle. A very cute gift for the Grandparents.
