As for me, I'm Canadian, and we all know how we say, "eh" so the top of the stamp says Made by Beth, and under the bird it says, "Canadian, eh". Perhaps you can think of an American saying that's catchy. My American sister loves when I make her cards with that stamp.
I have a stamp that says "Better than Hallmark". I love this stamp.

I have the Hand made with Love by Inkadinkadoo also and use it alot. But I try to use a little stamp that matches the theme of the card. Weddings I use the Bride and Groom from Voila (the extra set) that went with the chef. Shower cards I use the little SU Showers of love with the umbrella. Baby Cards I have a little bootie stamp..You get the idea. One Easter I stamped a bunny that was backwards showing it's cute little cotton tail. Well, I have a SIL & BIL that insist on my cards having the "Bunny Butt" on the back no matter the Occaision. They love my cards but the first thing they do is flip it over to be sure the bunny butt is there. Remember the old Hallmark commercial where people check out the back of the card first "When you care enough to send the best". That tradition is alive and well (at least with my SIL & BIL LOL)

The one I use most often I got at Hobby Lobby and it's by Stampabilities. There is a handprint in the middle and around the edge it says, Hand stamped just for you. I have two others from HL also.

I have 2 different stamps from SU with my name for the rare occasion that I sell a card. In the past, I used them for everything, but it's easier to just grab a marker in a coordinating color and put my initials on the back. Basically, a mini signature
When I was a demo, I bought a set of the tiny stamps you are speaking about, and I would give them out to my card club. I kept a few. My favorite has a ink "splot" and it says Best Card Ever

My favorite (to put on cards sent to fellow stampers) "stamp me a card and I'll stamp you one too". It's by Stampworks and I bought it at a yard sale for 50 cents.
I also like the little card with a heart on it from Stampin Up set "I did it".
I always put my name and year on the backs of my cards.
I have a stamp from Stampin Up! One of those tiny "incentive stamps" I think they were called. Place an order at a party and you got to choose a stamp from the basket. My demo gave it to me. We think it is a turkey but I suppose it could be confused with a seashell. It goes on every card I make, usually in a color matching the card.
Before that, I used a barcode stamp that says handstamped where the numbers usually are.
I either use a custom made stamp from Stamps of Life, or a stamp that says Best Fishes!! As we love everything to do with fish/aquariums etc. Our whole home is full of fish decor.
I just ordered a mermaid personal made by stamp with my name from the ebay seller that was mentioned earlier, and waiting for it to arrive
I use a little stamp that says "This started out as art". Suits my twisted sense of humor. For awhile I had forgotten to stamp it, and someone commented that she missed the cute stamp on the back. Now I make sure I always stamp it. I love this thread…some cute ideas out there.

I like this idea. It would give me a chance to use some of those cute little stamps that I have. Could even stamp it on the corner of the envelope (front or back) to match.
I have a few that say, created by, hand stamped and stamped by that I use now.
Years ago I had a personalized stamp that said "I cared enough to send the very best" in a circle, then in the middle of the circle read created by shelley. I loved that stamp, but after years in storage it go warped and then I misplaced it!!
I have a small bird of prey stamp that I put on the backs of my cards, I try to use the same ink colour as card stock. Then I add over the top, "Hawke Made 20xx". It's a play on our surname and hand made.
Some really cute ideas/stamps for the back of your cards. I usually find something that coordinates with the front. But I never sign them. Something to think about......
When I was a kid in school, I doodled chain links all the time. I made a lot of single chain links and doodled inside that link. DH had mentioned a few times I should have a stamp made, so I looked up a chain link graphic on the Internet, and put the words inside each crossing of the link: Art Created by Gillian. I can use this stamp on all kinds of projects, including my cards. I took the graphic of the chain link to Office Depot and they made the stamp using a cute font for the words. It's unique, and I like that! I thought the price was rather reasonable considering the use of the graphic design.

Sent a card to my brother-in-law for his 70th with this on the back. One of the guests at the party saw it and it became the hit of the party. My sister-in-law called me the next day to find out where she could buy it as she also makes cards.
I have seen alot of personalized stamps but couldn't decide what I wanted it to say exactly...I like variety. Then I went to the CKC Houston and visited The Stamps Of Life booth and found one I love because it's not just one stamp! stamped4you stamped4you [stamped4you]
So now I have a choice of which stamp to put on the back
For the backs of special cards, I use my favorite from Morningstar Stamps: "One-of-a-kind people deserve one-of-a-kind cards."
For routine, nothing-super-special cards, I use one of two Hero Arts stamps I bought at Jo-Ann's -- "Hand Stamped Just For You" and "Handmade from the Heart."
I always hand write my initials and the year below whichever stamp I use.
