Speedball Speedy-Carve Kit

I brought this to make a stamp design for the back of my home-made cards and it's perfect. It's a great little kit for making a quick stamp and really helpful if you've never made one before! I'll go through the bits individually: 1. The wooden handle - it's perfect for a quick kit, nothing fancy, will allow good control of the blade though it might be a little small for men. 2. The blades - you get two sizes! Really helpful for small stamps when you can do the finer details with the smaller blade and then take out bigger areas quicker with the larger one. 3. The pink 'Speedy Stamp Block' - I only wanted to make a small stamp but that's not even a quarter of the block! I'm going to be making many more stamps that's for sure! My only reservation is that I'm not sure what it's made of! It's like rubber, soft and easy to cut - so it's perfect - but keep it away from kids because if they eat it.. well you might have to contact Speedy-craft themselves to find out what's in it. 4. Instructions and Tips - I really like this! It's a great introduction and it highlights safety points about the sharpness of the blades and tips about cutting so it's really good for people that haven't made a stamp with this type of tool before. 5. Tracing paper! - I love this little addition! I have plenty of tracing paper but oh my when that little sheet of tracing paper came out the box I was deeply warmed! It's a lovely little 'here just in case you don't have a piece you can still start a stamp right now'. The one thing I think it's missing is a block of wood to mount the stamp on so it's more of a permanent stamp but then it's not a necessary piece per say.

This is a very good kit for a beginner. I had a delay in shipping but the team has been incredible in communication and I can say the entire experience is a positive one. Thanks for a great product and customer support.

This is a wonderful started kit. The lino sheet is super soft and great for beginners. The blades that come with the tool are surprisingly good. The instructions are also nicely put together. Only wish it wasn’t so expensive. Also, wish this came in a version with some ink and a roller.

attention taille minimaliste un peu déçu mais il faut bien lire le descriptif ma fille n'avait pas bien vu la taille

The Speedball SpeedyCarve stamp making kit is a great kit to start getting into stamping with! The carving bit is a wooden handle with two interchangeable blades, one of which is for carving small details and the other is for clearing off large areas. The blades are well made and do not dull easily and don’t get stuck in the handle piece. The rubber block is very soft and easy to carve, even with a well used blade. I found that you can even make two sided stamps if they are small enough. Pros: ~If you aren’t confident in your skills and knowledge, the manual is very informative ~A small sheet of transfer paper is included which makes transferring designs to the rubber block easy ~Simple and effective for starting out ~Arrived within a few days of purchasing There are no cons that I can think of for this product. It meets all the expectations and works well.
