Celery Stamp
This is a fun way to play with your food and make beautiful
custom wrapping paper for Christmas.
I ♥ celery salad and the cut hearts make great stamps.
I used a white ink pad and stamped the rosette onto recycled brown paper.
Digital collage using my celery hearts & clip art :)

What a wonderful idea! It looks prety!!
That's so cool. I would never have thought about that!!
Great idea! Realy amazing how can celer looks like roses.
how elegant and simple. thanks for sharing.
Wow, that turned out amazingly beautiful! Very very cool ideas!
Such a pretty idea! I agree that it looks like roses. Only problem I have here is getting to the celery end before my guinea pigs devour it!
Wow, that is beautiful. I happen to have some celery around and I don't really like it all that much, maybe I will cut off the end...
Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness this is the best! I never would have thought about that. No one will ever know it's celery either, unless you tell them.
Great innovative idea :)
Oh this is fantastic! xm
Wonderful way to get rid of that end of the celery plant. Never liked eating celery when it reached the wide end.
This is so beautiful.... love the collage too!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for that awesome idea!
Love this! Years ago, by chance, I made this same beautiful discovery while cutting vegetables, and later I stamped celery rosettes on a T-shirt for my mother in law.
Have you ever seen the amazing Tree of Life that can be found inside a head of cabbage?
Also, check out the Madonna and Child I found in an onion!
Qué divino !!! que idea fantástica !!!
Fantastic idea!

This is about as cool as it gets!
Great!!! Cool idea! Greetings from Therés
Great idea! They look just like roses!
And a very smart way to finally use the DAS clay that I have laying around.
You rule Geninne!
Geninne,
You are so clever. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Love how it really looks like roses.

Beautiful Geninne, I'd love to try digital collages like you with my photos and paintings, would you do a post on where and how to learn? Recommend some tutorials, or, do one may be?!!
LOVE! I think we'll be doing this for our Christmas wrapping paper this year :) And maybe some potato stamps added into the mix.
Geninne, you are so creative and generous with your ideas. Thank you for this beautiful inspiration.
I love it!!!!
Sabes como me gustan estas ideas!!!
Beso grande amiga

how adorable and clever. it has a very 50s look to it and so easy! I love ants on a log and celery in general too. a great trick is to use it in other recipes that call for garlic, adding a little brings out the flavor
Arent they beautiful...I would never have thought of that. What a great stamp design. I wont be throwing out the celery heart again without having a play.
Love your little tags too. I have some DAS, might make a few Christmassy tags for my pressies too.
Thanks for the inspiration and sharing.

Fabulously clever. Thanks for sharing.
You never cease to amaze me.. and celery has never looked so pretty!
What a great find Geninne! I will try that one out for myself. I love what you said: it's fun to play with your food!!!
What a great idea! Love you blog, as always!
That is amazing Im off to buy a head of celery to try myself . Thanks for the idea. Regards from New Zealand
what a fantastic idea. i'm definitely going to try it myself :)
The celery rosettes made lovely wrapping paper...
Wow! It looks so beautiful!
I thought that you carved another stamp but it's a pure nature :)
Pure genius. I would never had thought to use celery as a stamp. Your Christmas wrapping is just beautiful from the paper to the ribbon to the clay tag.
Love the digital collage too!
Muy buena idea!! los estampados se ven geniales!!
Saludos.
Ale.
Always blown away by your creativity :)
Now that's an easy and terrific idea!
Wrapping paper looks great, it reminds me of when I was in primary school and we did the same thing with potatoes, cut in half and you would cut a design onto the flat surface :)
Wow! Great Idea!
Your choice of paper/ink colors is nice, too.
Absolutely love this idea!
WOW, this came out so well! I've been doing veggie stamps with my daughter's class and thought we'd exhausted all our veggies, but we'll have to try this next time! Thanks!
Great idea !
cant wait to try this
Vow - amazing!!! The most beautiful packet! The paper and the tag are so wonderful! And what can I say about the celery flowers - just beautiful!

When I was putting my celery end into the compost bucket on Thanksgiving (after making dressing) I wondered how it would work as a stamp. Your paper is lovely! Thank you for sharing this.
Amazing! I never would have seen that from the celery hearts (didn't even know they were called that!) .. you are sooo talented. Love the tag too.
wow! that's really neat, I'm going to have to try that!
The sign of a true artist is being able to see art and beauty in places no one would else would think to look. Talk about stop and smell the roses.
So simple and wonderful results.
Your works / creations inspire me how wonder is our nature and the beauties around us!
I love the celery roses... can't wait to try that on something! So pretty!
What a fabulous yet simple idea! Thank you!!
I've stamped with celery before, in an art journal, but yours looks much prettier than mine - I might give it another go :)
I love your digital collage.
Brilliant! Who would've thought. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Such an amazing and effective idea!
This is absolutley gorgeous!
wow. thats amazing! Why didnt I ever think of that?!
that's absolutely something worth trying, I love to transform the function of objects too...
Really wonderful idea!
Geninne, es un trabajo hermosísimo. Super elegantes el papel y la "tarjeta". :-)
I LOVE this and your birdie illustrations are to die for, I can't wait until your Etsy store is open again so I can buy prints. I found your blog via Flickr, so glad I did too! I have added you to my blogroll so my own readers can find your lovely work too <3
What a great idea! ;)
I love your digital celery -- very innovative and too cute how it all blends so well in your collage.
I have celery in my fridge right now – trying this tonight!! The rose shape would work well for a Birthday or wedding as well.
you are one "crafty chick"... love your blog...
such a gorgeous idea..makes my potato printing escapades look a little silly :)
What a great idea! So clever.
Very cool... can't wait to show my grandchildren. Thanks for sharing (via a friend of mine)
You do amazingly creative things. Something different all the time. Wow! Margie
I'm sew inspired! Art in nature rox!

Just simply lovely!!! Look sweet as well :)"
Hi Geninne! I really love this idea - it's so lovely. I actually made my own celery-stamped wrapping paper for a package for my mother. I have my own craft blog, and I was hoping to blog about my little project. I would love to be able to use your top photo with a link back to both your site and this tutorial to show where the idea came from. My email address is rachel.everydaysimple(at)gmail.com. My craft blog is Everyday Simple (http://everyday-simple.blogspot.com). Thanks! I look forward to hearing back from you.
