In the new issue of Moyo Magazine I wrote a column about DIY Party Decor:
…..a few photos were used from the projects below but I thought I’d share some additional photos that are centered around DIY stamping! It’s very easy to carve your own stamp…and depending on the theme of your party or gathering a single stamp can carry all the way through:
Add tiny accents (dots, stars, hearts etc) with a smaller stamp made from a pencil eraser:
For these invitations I printed out the “Home Sweet Home” on regular card stock, rounded the corners of each invite and added the stamp:
Roll some fabric paint onto a paper plate and use it to stamp your table cloth and napkins:
Having a wine tasting? Stamp a few old book pages with a hand carved stamp:
I wrote an article on wine-themed decor over at Parade:
Also wine themed: tese wine cork stamps….cut one in half and they double as place card holders! (View the tutorial here)

Boy, stamping sure has come a long way! MANY years ago I taught craft classes thru Continuing Education for Kindergarten classes. I used small paint rollers with things like band aids, elastic bands etc. glued to them and made wrapping paper! We thought that was such a great idea LOL! Like I said – a long time ago! Just thought I’d share. Love the idea using square erasers.
