We first debuted Blockwallah hand carved wood stamps in March of 2014 with a video and an assortment of designs I’d ordered while at CHA earlier in the year. That group sold out almost immediately. Over the years I’ve restocked and added new designs here and there.
Fast forward to the present and an enormous order of more than 125 new styles that not only debuts today, but does so at clearance pricing of 50% off. I got such a good deal on them that we can pass along the savings – that’s the 50% off deal you’ll see each stamp reduced by.
I’ve resurrected the video here since in it I demo how to work with the stamps – they’re wood without cushion and no real way to add any – but there’s a workaround that’s easy to implement. You’ll find that information in about the first 5 minutes. The remainder is examples of stamping in a journal and on fabric, where the process is pretty much the same.
What’s changed in the intervening 3+ years? New products and new ways of working.
- If I were filming this now I would substitute one of Ranger’s Inkssentials Mini Ink Blending Tool & Foam Refill for the elephant ear sponge I use to ink the wood with paint. It’s easier with the tool and you’ll find your hands stay more paint free.
- Another substitution, should you not have access to a sheet of sticky back foam, is to use a small stack of printer paper – probably 15 to 20 sheets. That will provide enough cushion under the paper you’re stamping on to allow for a good impression. You can also use a mouse pad!
50% off is an awesome deal. My suggestion is to grab the ones you want now, while the selection is the best. We received only a few of some styles while others we have quite a lot of.

I love the designs of these. Have you ever tried them on your gel plate? Curious minds want to know…LOL
I haven’t but can’t see why the wouldnn’t behave the same way as any other stamp and lift the color. And yes, they’re pretty awesome!
I have used them on the gel plate…..works great
I wonder how well a small bryer would work for inking or painting the stamp. It would get a good even coverage with little or maybe none would get where you don’t want it.
