My wife and I used this technique to stamp a little dove on our wedding invitation envelopes. It was perfect and so cheap!!

[@amberveronique913]

I like how you don’t need those expensive carving tools for this one! Thank you!

[@phillykiki7320]

Get the cuticle cutter from dollar tree as tools too

[@amberbenton5001]

Cuticle cutters the v shape ones not the sissor kind work amazing for cutting stamps. Super cheap available at most dollar stores. I reccommended highly.

[@ItayaArt]

Awesome! I always feel less intimidated when learning a new craft when using less expensive supplies to practice with. More Dollar Tree carving please! 😁

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Aw, that's great to hear! Stamp carving can be pretty inexpensive - I'd love to see what you carve! Definitely subscribe, because I plan on doing these dollar store carve experiments for any dollar store I come across!

[@avcomth]

When I was in second grade I used a box cutter to carve out my grandfather's signature on an eraser and used it to stamp my homework book. Nobody taught me this I just learned by myself and did it for fun, does this mean that I'm a carving prodigy? (I also played with plasticine a lot, molding them into intricately detailed objects ex. airplane, excavater, cars, houses etc)

[@lesleybrojanac9586]

This is clever and hilarious!

[@matthewjeffersonmusic2722]

OMG-d when I was in the 4th grade I used a flashlight and traced her signature over my report card and turned it in. Your idea sounds better.

[@MimiDidi121]

It means you're damn lucky you still have all 10 fingers!! Hehe who the hell that you have a box cutter when you were seven? Hehehehe I don't know how old you are but I'm old enough that when we were kids we played with things we would never let kids play with now! I live in a very rural area and went to a very country school. In the late 70s, early 80s you would park in the high school parking lot and there would be no less than 20 pickups with a gun rack in the back window and it full of rifles! I am sure 19 at least of those vehicles were unlocked too! no one ever thought about going out there and getting one coming in and start shooting at the teachers and the students! But there was not the bullying that there is now. Sure kids bullied back then but it wasn't constant like it is now. There were only 80 kids in my graduating class and we were all friends. There were the "goat ropers", "pot heads", the holy rollers, but even though they tended to clump together in those groups at lunch, was nothing to see two or three of those groups all sitting together. half the people in the other cliques was probably related to us anyway!

[@vijaywaghmare3935]

Can you please teach me

[@briaa4535]

Genius

[@satyanpatel6403]

You not only saved me a lot of money, but I can't believe your artistic skills and how precisely cut around all that lettering with that Dollar Store Blade! Thank you, now I can make some fun stamps with my kiddios while still stuck in the pandemic!

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Glad I could help!

[@lsalmon907]

Impressive!! This is a learning curve for me. Retired and eager to pick a lot of hobbies. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@alzenamulder5597]

Finally a real helpful video! About to notch up my jewellery business by making a logo stamp. Thank you for the awesome inspiration!

[@bertaandrew9889]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love LOVE your frugality, creativity, and your voice. Thank You. Great video! Yes please do more! 😺

[@mignondee]

Thank you! As a mom, I already have the smaller block erasers in stock and as a crafter I have everything else! I’ve made my first stamp this evening and while it’s not extravagant, it’s pretty decent. It says ‘❤️Thank You! ❤️. I wish that I could stamp it here! Now... off to Dollar Tree I go! Take care.

[@win-dcitygirl6111]

Hello Cuts and scraps. Thank you for showing me an affordable way to make my own stamps. I never would have thought about using the erasers to make stamps. So awesome. thanks again for the tip.

[@E33_Surf]

oh my GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. It's three days before mother's day and I was just puzzling and puzzling about what to get her then I found this XD you are literally a lifesaver. Thank you so much

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Hope it turned out great!!

[@chill.time.with.amelia]

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for some giant erasers next time I'm at the dollar store! Excellent video, thank you for the ideas!

[@carolynbrown4112]

Wow!! I am totally blown away!!! Also a bit speechless!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@carolesimpson1474]

Great inexpensive CONSTRUCTIVE Hobby👍

[@elainebates6967]

Wow, so good! Lots of Love, Light and Laughter!

[@becauseifeallikeit0.061]

I just got engaged and you just helped me so much! I'm gonna use this method to do invitations. You saved me so much money thank you!!!

[@hippiegirl420gamer8]

Wow, you are amazing at stamp carving!

[@TheGeezzer]

You have some nice skills to go along with your intelligence. Keep on making the world smile!😊

[@danatookatumble]

Thanks so much for this video! I am a novice carver on a budget and will be stopping by Dollar Tree tonight to pick up some erasers!

[@danatookatumble]

Any ideas for objects that can be used as an inexpensive mount? I don't have a circular saw or anything like that.

[@thelmahall2593]

i love stamping with lots of things great video

[@PaulaJackman]

This. This video. I've been looking for something like this. It's awesome.

[@ViewtifulJosh388]

All I wanted was a simple stamp that said "Done" and even though I did find it I would have to pay more than triple the price! Plus with the left over material I could make more. Thanks a lot, saved me a pretty penny.

[@marthe25541]

Thanks so much for showing how to get a design onto the rubber without transfer paper!! I do not have any at home and was already searching where to buy some, but now I do not need any, yay!

[@shirleyobert9012]

Can't wait to try this!

[@Clasico_Domingo]

These were great tips !! Thanks for sharing:)

[@aceofdiamondsbunny1549]

Dollar tree also has wood carving tools that work pretty well, I just wanted to see how to transfer images to the stamp since I didn’t know graphite just was like that lol

[@thingmaker3]

Guggle says "B" stands for "black." 2b is blacker than b, and 3b is blacker than 2b. At least that's what Guggle sez. Awesome presentation, by the way! I love your tutorials!

[@farinamarivicambiong8896]

Wow! This is helpful! You made me save a lot! Thank you!!! 😍

[@misslayer999]

This video is like 5 years old but hopefully you've been back to the Dollar tree more recently lol. They started expanding their craft section a few years ago and haven't stopped yet. I'm consistently surprised and often delighted at the variety of shit they get in now. I guess that's the trade-off for everything being a $1.25 now. 😊🤨

[@davidshuman5949]

These big fat erasers are seasonal. Chance I will find these in towards the end of Summer or September when they start preparing for School starting after the summer. Andrea

[@A.M.Independent.Consultant]

U make it seem so easy

[@alternativewitchyunicorn]

That’s really cool. Didn’t think of using markers for inking lol

[@gracefulslumber8441]

Thank you times a bajillion!!! (That's not even a number, but whatever, you get the idea haha!) It never even occurred to me that I could use one of those giant erasers as a carving material! SO genius! This was an amazing tutorial and really shows that you don't need expensive materials to start doing terrific crafts. Thank you again!

[@connorbnelson]

I've heard the "B" in pencil grades be referred to as both brittle and black. I tend to believe the former since no graphite is quite black, and because brittle is the opposite of hard.

[@michellewilliams3736]

After coloring the stamp did you breathe on it to cause steam before printing to wet the ink again?

[@albertoserna3968]

Your choice of words was freaking hilarious for the stamp......can you make another that says....'You don't understand'.....Lmao

[@ellet.162]

You have made one of life's mysteries easily accessible to me thx😊

[@roxannamiguel7291]

That was awesome!

[@jess89O]

This was so awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I have so little money to spend on extra art supplies, but have been dying to make stamps- now I can! 💕 thanks for the inspiration 😊😊

[@emdee7744]

My sentiments exactly---no money for art supplies and the stamp I wanted is $7. Going to try to make it myself and SAVE!

[@Mel-gg3xg]

Thanks for sharing! I recently saw a wood carving set at DT that would be perfect for this project! :)

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Sounds great! Happy carving!

[@MiaGarcia]

Wonderful video! Really helped me come up with ideas and use resources.

[@seansanchez3710]

this was very informational and exactly what i was looking for :D great video!

[@lidiawest8615]

I really loved this! Thank you so much ❤️💕❤️

[@ArtisticInspirations.]

Love these dollar store videos!! Just found your channel!!

[@poneyfeathersart1442]

Love this! Ive seen the big erasers and wondered about carving them. Looks wonderful!

[@deadbob9]

I love this!!

[@ladyamalthia7688]

Good video!! I love stamp carving. So soothing. 😄

[@snoopu2601]

I bought some stamp making rubber and it's not easy to carve on the rubber. It might be for my first carving it's very detail because that's how I drew it out to challenge myself.

[@lospenguin5208]

Great job 💙🦅

[@collenrose3957]

Great great idea! Love-love this vid. Thank you for sharing. 🌈🙏🌈

[@pathazanov6341]

Thanks for an informative and helpful video.

[@grandysfitness7145]

😃😃😃 I've just gotten intetested in this craft and am THRILLED to have found your channel! SO hoping to be able to get started for less with Dollar Tree! Will be checking out your other videos too☺

[@robinschwarz721]

O.M.G. If only I had seen ur Video before I went shopping.

[@skramzrave]

This is pretty cool considering you can trace any image with a pencil, transfer it onto an eraser and make a stamp out of any picture.

[@1961crosley]

I’m looking to emboss large designs on velvet. The large eraser is great but do you have any suggestions on what I can use to make a stamp that’s about 12” square?

[@CutsAndScrapes]

It's hard to find, but you can find Speedball's Speedy Carve (it's pink!) in 12x12" squares. HOWEVER, if you're using the heat method to stamp the velvet, the rubber may melt. If that's the case, you may want to try real linoleum - it's harder to carve, but won't melt in the heat! Happy carving :)

[@mohammadhunaiti8982]

For curves use smaller blade ❤

[@skyevalley204]

THANK YOU! This is exactly what I was looking for!!

[@hollymaudsley3187]

Loved this video.Not a carved yet! Would like more dollar store finds. Thanks for sharing.

[@diana.diamond]

this was very helpful!! thank you so much

[@janeyep8607]

B stands for blackness or boldness, the darker the led looks on the paper means it’s softer.

[@nj4x4fever2]

First off I wanted to say - this is very interesting and my girlfriend wants to know where you got the cool fingerless gloves?

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Thanks! I think I got these ones at Ardene or a shop like that... I always have cold hands!

[@vomitorium7062]

you see, my art teacher made it out like I NEED to pour all this money into buying gouges, linoleum block, printing ink, etc... that's just rediculous. so THANK YOU for making this, I dunno why I never thought of using a giant eraser

[@peggygrabowski2604]

Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Thanks, Peggy!

[@derekbenn4620]

You are awesome!!!

[@shonoo2009]

can this rubber stamps use for fabric stamp printing?

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Yes, absolutely!

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Really glad to come across you on here.. it was just what I needed to see... I'm wanting to make a stamp to stamp an image on fabric and I think this would work great... thanks a lot!

[@CutsAndScrapes]

Excellent! Happy carving :)

[@thewitchofsloth]

Did you make it out of an eraser?? 😮💙

[@A.M.Independent.Consultant]

Thanks for sharing

[@heyman.9668]

Love this! Going to try it tomorrow! Thank you sooo much!

[@beautifulgreymouse]

Love your video's! Hopefully you will make many more :-) You got me carving every day :-D ... I have a question though. The Brother printer is out of production , as you also mentioned in one of your videos ... what should I look for in the printer toner so I can use it for transferring on to the rubber? Thank you. Looking forward to your next video! Best regards, Esther (The Netherlands).

[@CutsAndScrapes]

The exact Brother printer that I use is out of production, but the same modern version of the printer (I believe the series is the HL-2300 series) still works! You may want to try photocopiers, which sometimes work - my first transfers all came from the local library's photocopier :)

[@beautifulgreymouse]

Cuts And Scrapes Thank you. That's a great idea. Off to the library tomorrow 😊

[@txslingblade]

With the dollar store eraser, can you get clean lines? Or do you find it to chip off as you stamp and use it?

[@CutsAndScrapes]

I can get clean lines, but the erasers certainly don't last as long as purpose-made rubbers - and some erasers are better than others! Have fun carving :)

[@GrandmaLaura2nd]

every artist needs a cat. you are great at teaching your craft

[@amandaleahspears]

Brilliant!!! Thank you

that was awesome. thanks for sharing.

[@suzannekeir3974]

More please, thanks for sharing

[@Professional_ProCraftinator]

Do you think a cuticle cutting tool...(not the scissor type)...could be bent to use as a carving tool? LOL!

[@nappykemps2590]

Dollar Tree has cutting mats, box cuters, craft knifes and ink pads. Just remember Dollar Tree gets things as they can. So if you see something great get it.

[@glendadyar8975]

Love this ! Thanks!

[@bellnorton4453]

I love it.

[@VivaLaPluto1518]

The eraser is stupidly hard to work with to crave, no idea how you pulled it off especially on the curvy letters. I don't have access to a lot of supplies in person and from an online perspective the jumbo eraser is around $10-$15, I couldn't find it cheaper. I have knives already, but I found a kit on Amazon that has a decent speedball carver tool with multiple cutting heads of different style, and included a block of rubber all for $20 with shipping. Separately the lino cutting tool and Lino block/rubber block is more expensive so Amazon kits for beginner block stamping is your friend as opposed to erasers if you do not have access to local stores with any of these items available.

[@sapphireharris6953]

Can I use this stamp on glue from a glue gun

[@havefunbesafe]

09:20 that's what she said!

[@thebonifiedlady111]

Hey, how about using a cuticle remover? Remember those?

[@reginarobertsfil-amcouples3735]

Cool

[@Resell_crazy]

I tried this and i really suck at it...lol

[@eusebiou-say-bee-oh326]

Wish we could see how you cut the corners so we can learn from seeing. It's a useful tip where seeing is better than listening. Going fast forward is not showing since everything is moving too fast that the eyes can't process all the information. I would like to say go slow so we can observe what you are doing but it's ok if you don't. I usually skip to the end on the KZbin when they use the fast forward function on their videos because I perceive they do it because they want the ad revenue and the subs rather than actually showing something interesting. Anyways as a viewer, I would like to see how you build "in normal speed" because I am interested in learning what you know - rather than what they have at the dollar store (this is not as interesting as sculpting letters in an oversized eraser, which is in my opinion ingenious) 😊👍👍👍

[@CutsAndScrapes]

I totally know what you mean! Specifically to show all of that, I have my Carve Along videos which are in real time AND let you try to carve the exact same design. Check out my channel and you'll see them - happy carving!

[@brendamartin715]

My grandson taught me to go to settings and change the speed and slow it down.

[@eusebiou-say-bee-oh326]

@@brendamartin715 That is wonderful madam. Hoping you both learn from each other, like the youth learning from the wise and the wise learning something new from the younger generation. Times are changing, but its through these times that we start again to know what is precious in our lives. Wishing you a happy, loving and peaceful day 😀🌻🌷🌲

[@hurricanekitty6736]

This would have been awesome had it not been so sped up...I slowed it down to the slowest setting and still couldn’t see exactly how you made your cuts lol
