I love spotlighting talented handmade shops that create unique, high-quality products. And today I get to introduce you to the most amazing handmade stamp maker ever!! Tyr, from This is Just to Say based in Stocholm, Sweden, is one talented carver! She hand carves stamps with intricate details. Yes, she hand-carves them! The detail and exactness she puts in each stamp will blow your mind! Tyr sent me a couple stamps to play with and I was seriously so impressed. I absolutely love them!
Hand-Carved Stamps
She designed this “handmade by Linda” stamp just for me and I love it! I think it will be perfect to stamp on silk ribbon to make little tags for my sewn items. Or on muslim bags filled with handmade gifts. A stamp like this would be perfect for handmade or etsy shops!
Can you believe how perfectly rounded the frames are? You would never know that it was hand carved without seeing the actual stamp!
Tyr mounts her stamps to natural wood slices that are hand-sawed & sanded. The natural wood feels totally awesome when stamping! I loved the feel. And I won’t lie, they look really rad too.
Tyr has been carving stamps for 5 years now. Things that inspire her the most are; Oscar Wilde, chalkboard typography, Star Wars and nature. She enjoys creating things that are both beautiful and useful. Which describes her stamps perfectly. When asked how she gets the tiny details and perfect lines on her stamps, she says, “All you need is a sharp knife and a steady hand. Carving takes a lot of concentration and, well, zen-ness, but it is so wonderfully therapeutic that I never consider it “work”.”
For behind-the-scene photos and exclusive discounts and giveaways, follow This is Just to Say on Facebook. You can also find Tyr on Pinterest, Flickr (high-res photos and bits and pieces of Stocholm) and on her blog.
Tyr can carve about anything. Check out more of her work!

Hi! I'm Linda, the craft addict behind Craftaholics Anonymous®, a craft blog. Crafting is cheaper than therapy, right? When I'm not DIYing something, I can be found taxiing around our 4 crazy kids or working out. Or shoe shopping... because you can never have too many shoes! Happy crafting! ♥

I would have a Russian-style 3 barred cross made. It is the symbol of my small but ancient religion and as such, I can never find things with it on, so a custom made stamp would be just the ticket!
I would love to have my logo carved!
I would have my address.
Our name and blog for letters and for gifts
Our name :)
Oh there are so many things that I would want carved… my logo… or “this took forever” or maybe something in portuguese for my Brazilian friends like “feito só pra você”… the possibilities are endless!
Those stamps are really beautiful. Thanks for the introduction
Beautiful stamps!!!
Oops… forgot to say that I would do a monogram. Or a “handmade by”… I think. Really the decision would be excruciating :)
I would LOVE this!!!
Most likely, “made with love by Cathi’s hands”
I’d love something floral with my daughter’s name <3
I would love a “Handmade by” custom stamp – carving & I don’t get along (well, me & sharp instruments don’t get along) and I envy those who have that talent :)
I would do our family crest
These are amazing! I cannot believe that they are hand carved!! I only wish my hands were so steady, never mind the fact that I cannot even draw stick men! Just beautiful!
