FWIW, I bought the rubber stamping magazine with the letterboxing
article hoping for ideas. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be much
of use. It seemed mostly artistic. Any inspirations and ideas
gladly accepted...

So... getting back to more normal topics...
Back a few days ago, Susan encouraged sharpening carving blades with Emery sand paper. I am off to go purchase some at the beloved Home Depot (aka - Burly Man Central!)
Any suggestions on technique for sharpening would be greatly appreciated. Also, is the sand paper better than a wet stone? I am just noticing that my blades are getting a little dull.

I made a couple of stamps a few months ago. Instead of the carving
method, I created a black & white design on the computer, and printed it
out from my laser printer in the size I wanted. My local stamp store
then took the image and created a stamp from it.
I was rather impressed with the results, though I can see the benefit
and beauty of the carving method. Unfortunately if I carved the stamp I
would end up with several stitches. I'm much more skilled with a mouse
than a carving knife ;)
If you do go this route, make sure to make the design as smooth as
possible on the paper. Mine had digitized slightly and the pixilation
was visible on the final result.
