Hello
I am wondering what small or new unknown online stamp shops you know of. I love looking and buying from new or small online shops.
Can you please post them?
You can go to Etsy and put rubber stamps in the search bar and there are a variety of small stamp shops making clear stamps, naked rubber stamps, hand carved, wood and cling mounted. Many of the shops will do custom orders too, particularly the hand carved shops. I have a couple handcarved and they are fun to have and different. There is a tiny bit of a learning curve on Etsy to navigate, but once you get going it is easy and you can really find some different, unique art items for your collection/studio.
Cindy also has a yahoo group that if you join, you'll receive member discounts and be able to participate in group buys for more expensive things like Copic Markers - I've been able to build my collection at great pricing this way....
Hi There, As someone who also loves purchasing from the smaller companies your post really stood out to me! Although you are (luckily!) in the US, check out Pink gem designs in the UK. I have just checked and they do ship internationally. Not sure how much but from past experience of buying from the lovely lady who owns the store I don't think it would be too prohibitive. The designs are gorgeous and sooooo lovely to colour. Here is a link to just one of the christmas stamps http://www.pinkgemdesigns.com/catalo...pid=396&page=2 but also check out the halloween ones which are supercute! They are the first ones I bought and got me totally hooked! Happy shopping! x
I love the fun and quirky images they have at Dog Gone Stamps - I think it's the expressions that get me. They are having a new release soon. I used to design for them and they are wonderful people! I'm still a fan and customer ;)
I just ordered from www.sweetpeastamps.com I love their images and the service was awesome. Shipping is only 4.95 .. even to CANADA !!! YEAH SWEETPEA!!! I ordered on Sunday and recvd an email yesterday saying my order had shipped.
I buy from this lady,She is in the US and her p&p charges are really reasonable to the UK.She gets 10 out of 10 from me!! xx jo xx http://lillambsboutique.com/shoppe/
This lady is just lovely, she has a brick and mortar store in Dover TN but sells online via an email, you can check out some of the stuff she has here:
I have to sub to this thread, since I love to support small stamping shops. I used to have a couple of stamping shops near me, but they have all closed down and I have to buy from the internet now. I hate to do that and pay for shipping and tax, but there are more possibilities out there, I see, for more interesting stamps
I love this guy's stamps http://www.graywolfgraphicsrubberstamps.com/
I don't buy mounted stamps anymore, but I do buy his mounted. He has the most realistic stamps and the wood mounting is beautifully done. Course, he also sells unmounted and his prices are great.

I'm from Canada and have bought from Pink Gem a couple times. The shipping isn't too bad and the stamps are so cute. Plus they arrive quickly
Add Lawn Fawn to that list. Just ordered from Kelly, LOVE the sets I got!! http://www.lawnfawn.com/
I can second this one...I ordered her ENTIRE initial release cause they were all so cute! The ones I've already stamped with have worked beautifully and shipping was quick
