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.

Wow! This kit is awesome! I tried it out for the first time today. As usual I only skim-read the instructions as I was impatient to get started and I went for quite an ambitious design for a first go - I was pretty sure I was going to mess it up! It ended up looking GREAT! The limo block is super soft and so easy to cut and the carving tool is really easy to use. The kit comes with everything you need to begin carving straight away (though you'll need to get some ink - I just used a black ink pad I had already), a block of soft Lino, a carving tool with 2 interchangeable blades, a sheet of tracing paper and an instructions pamphlet. I chose to handraw my design onto a sheet of paper, trace it and then transfer it to the Lino but you can use images printed off the Internet or just draw your design straight onto the Lino if you're confident. Then you just get to carving! Any of the Lino you 'take away' will be white space in the finished print and any Lino left will be the inked space. Can't wait to have a go at my second design! *update* tried a second design and I love this stuff more and more!!! So pleased with how it turned out for only my second go! I've attached some photos - the black is attempt number 1 and the blue is attempt number 2.

Good starter set as both the tools and a (small) sheet of Speedy-Carve are included. I wish I had ordered an extra sheet at the same time but it's not cheap!

This kit is fantastic as a first time stamp maker, it has everything you need and is so easy to use! the little cutting blades are great, plenty to start with but for more detailed work you will definitely need to think of buying a few more types, also i found my craft knife to be a big help. I used this product to make four little animal stamps for wedding cards and it did the job perfectly.

Love this little stamp making set! I bought an extra rubber pad but I've made 5 stamps and I still have some left of the first. Tool is easy to use. Great for crafting and addictively fun.

This stamp making kit is fantastic. Really soft rubber and you get all the bits and bobs you might need. Wish they did it in a bigger size

Excellent product, very good value for money. Worked perfectly for what I wanted. Fast delivery. Would definitely recommend

Has everything you need to begin with though it tooks weeks to arrive, I would recommend this product as long as you're not in a hurry to get printing.

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.

This is my first time block printing and this kit was perfect and easy to use! Super handy that it comes with two chisel tips since I definitely needed both.
