The owner of my LSS wants to start carrying rubber stamps. She knows I'm a stamper so she asked me what are some popular brands that you can't find at Michael's. I told her about House Mouse, A Muse and Hero Arts, but I couldn't think of any others. I stamp primarily with SU and TAC and I know CTMH is home sales only like SU and TAC. So what are the names of some other stamp companies that sell to stores for retail sales?
Thanks!
I use a lot of Hero Arts stamps in my scrapbooking. They have a wonderful selection of background and border stamps that are awesome, and they have a great selection of alphas that I use more than any other (even SU!).
Also, some UM companies I like are Wordsworth and Leave Memories.
My LSS carries wierd stamps for a scrapbook store--they're mostly Northwoods, which are great for cards, but I personally think scene stamps take away from the photos on a scrap page. The LSS has no alpha stamps and very few background or border stamps. I'd buy from them if they carried them!
I love, love, love Paper Inspirations stamps. They are really hard to find too. They have some great vintage and "turn of the century" style stamps, the best Aged Paper stamp that when used with silver encore just gives some depth to your overall image, and great sayings. Did I say I love them??;)

As someone suggested, tell her to check out the links page at Gingerwood and she'll see a most amazing list of practially every rubber stamp company known to man! ;)
Then she can REALLY take her pick and assemble a variety that can't be found at Michael's.
