-;Block: The ''block'' is a piece of material into which the design to be printed is carved. Linoleum is a common block material, but people also use wood, or even potatoes. Linoleum is inexpensive, easy to carve, and makes good prints. Wood is more difficult to work with, and potatoes do not make the greatest prints.

 ;Sandpaper: If you are using linoleum or wood, you will need to sand the surface first to eliminate the texturing. Texturing will come through in your print, which may or may not be desired.
 ;Ink or Paint: Many people prefer to use oil-based ink, but beware - oil-based inks will permanently stain clothing. If you are teaching this honor to a group of children, you would be well advised to stick with water soluble ink. For different effects you can use water soluable paints.

 The most confusing aspect of block printing letters is that the letters must be carved into the block as a mirror-image. When the block is pressed to the paper, the image will be reversed, and the letter will look proper. The saying ''"watch your p's and q's"'' comes from the fact that a ''p'' looks like a ''q'', and a ''q'' looks like a ''p'' when viewing the type (whether movable type, or letters carved into a block).

 ;Brayer: A brayer is a hand roller used in printmaking techniques to spread ink or to offset an image from a plate to paper. They can be made of rubber, sponge, acrylic, or leather. Rubber brayers come in varieties of hardness and are primarily used for relief printing. Leather rollers are only used in lithography. Sponge rollers are used only for scrapbooking and other craft applications.  A spoon can stand in for the brayer.
 ;Piece of Glass: Ink is poured onto a piece of glass, and then the brayer is rolled over it.  This transfers the ink to the brayer.  An old picture frame can work well for this.

 The design to be printed must be carved into the block, or more specifically, the ''negative'' part of the design must be carved out.  In other words, every part of the design that you wish to appear in the final product must be left intact in the block.  Everything that you wish to ''not'' appear in the final product must be carved out of the block.
 For multi-color prints, you will need a block for each color.  All the red parts of the design are left intact, and the non-red parts are carved away.  Repeat for other colors.  When printing, pay close attention to the block's ''registration'' - that is, that each color block is correctly lined up.  Once an inked block touches the paper, it's too late to make an adjustment.

 Remember to reverse the letters and to put your first initial on the ''right'' side of the potato, and your last initial on the ''left''.
 First cut the potato in half.  The cut must be straight, so use a large knife for this, and cut it with one smooth motion.  Your initials will be carved into the freshly cut surface, so it needs to be as flat as possible.
 Using a sharp knife (a paring knife, pocket knife, X-acto knife, etc...) mark out the letters.  Make vertical incisions into the potato to mark out the boundaries of the letters.  Once this is done, you can move in from the side and carve off the negative spaces.  For spaces inside the letters (such as the middle portion of an ''A'' or an ''O'' you will need to angle the knife down and pop out a portion of the hole.  Then try it again from the other side.
 Once you have all of the negative space removed, roll some ink onto your potato and press it firmly to a sheet of paper.  Do not move the potato once it touches the paper, except to press it more firmly into the paper, or to lift it straight off.  Any side-to-side motion will smear the print.

 For this, we highly recommend that you use linoleum for the printing block.  As you should well know from your experience with the previous requirement, potato printing leaves a lot to be desired.
 Avoid the heavy use of lettering.  Letters are ''hard'', and you can write a note onto your greeting card once you have printed it.  Images of trees, flowers, and animals on the other hand do not suffer from accidental image reversal as letters do.  Long strings of text are also difficult to keep aligned.
 Once you have chosen a design, follow these steps:
 # Sand your piece of linoleum until it is smooth.  Start with coarse grade sand paper (80 grit), follow that with finer grade (100 grit), and finally, use an even finer grade paper (120 grit).
