so much time carving out those stamps. after the first few, she could've just skipped that part or speeded it up. then she could've shown a lot more patterns I just skipped to the last 10 seconds of each section and I got it..

A good approach for a beginner stamper. A good way to build up a collection of stamps and even using some erasers to carve into. I love her playful approach and how she also showed us how to use an artist as inspiration for carving our own shapes.
