I have been busy, busy, busy making stamps! I managed to get the soft carve rubber from the shop Lawrences. I phoned them up and told them there was no way I was going to pay £14.99 for postage just because it was to the Isle of Wight and after a little heated discussion they agreed to send it to me via Royal Mail.
The soft carve rubber is a lot smoother to carve but I am finding it more difficult to get fine detail on it over the lino.
Anyhow, heres a photo of the stamps I have made so far.
I cheated with the 'confidential' and 'fragile' stamps as I cut the words out on my cricut and then traced around them. All the others I have drawn.

Love, love that red page, so vibrant
Wow Sam, your stamps are FANTASTIC!!! Imagine how much a stamp plate like that would cost! You've done a brilliant job - and I'm glad the shop saw sense about the postage costs too!
These stamps are coming out beautifully Sam! I love the text ones. P.S using your Cricut isn't cheating ;)
I tell you what Sam, you could sell these! Having seen an amazing and may I say totally gorgeous (*ahem!*) stamp up close you have a real talent with these! I would buy a raven off you in a second!
I also agree with Paige - there aint nothing cheating about using the cricut. You still did all the hard work. Good for you in getting the postage reduced.
