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.
A big thank you to Hero Arts for letting me share the Woodblock Wednesday fun with you!

Thank you for sponsoring. I have several Hero Arts Woodblock Stamps. This challenge is a great inspiration to use these again.
I love Amy’s cards and enthusiasm for this craft! I started using woodblock stamps back in the late 1980’s-early 1990’s when my daughters were young and liked to do crafts. We even used embossing powder! I still have most of my woodblock stamps and even have a set of Hero Arts woodblock leaf stamps that my mom had bought years ago. Thanks for sponsoring Woodblock Wednesday!
I’ve been stamping for over 17 years
so – Yes, I have lots of wood block
stamps and I still use them. Good
to see somebody bringing back
attention to them. thanks for
sharing.
Woodblock stamps will forever be my favorite for so many reasons! They forever remind me of opening the drawers in my grandma’s home office as a kid and finding her (now vintage) Hero Arts stamps which are now part of my huge collection!
I love woodblock stamps! I just stamped up some Hero Arts ones for the challenge! Thanks so much for the chance to win these beauties!
