I am organizing my room for 2020. I am going through my stamps right now. I was sad looking at some of my favorite stamps that the companies are no longer.
I took a break and was peeking over here when I saw this thread. I didn't even realize some of the companies mentioned were no longer in business. You all trying to be depressing, lol? I have three more boxes to get through. I am going to be all maudlin by the time I am done, lol.
I really miss Cornish Heritage Farms.
I miss TAC.
I loved Stampsmith. I don't think they are around any longer.
I loved Stamps Happen. I don't think they are around either.
I remember another one- Stampa Rosa
Stampotique is still around? I was at their website recently- Stampotique Originals This is the same Stampotique right? I loved Art Neko too. I never got a chance to buy any of her stamps. I loved looking at the catalog. Didn't the company get bought over and is under a new name. I swear Lindsay (Frugal Crafter) mentioned they did in a video.
Stamps Happen - yes. The sentimental scenes by D.Morgan and the flower fairies... just gorgeous.
Stampa Rosa - a few of their lines are still around - Alesa Baker is with Impression Obsession, and the House Mouse line has changed hands several times since.
I collect Stamps Happen-they are on Ebay all the time, but the fairies can be crazy expensive like the florals from PSX. I am a big fan of Wright's birds.
I am confused about House Mouse...they have their own site and I thought it was the artist herself? I know stampendous has a lot of it. Is that it? Who is distributing them keeps changing?
I am sad about Witt and Sass. Shooting star-I have three of hers in my wishlist. Once in awhile I will see one at some gen supplier...
Wild Rose Studio (UK) for rubber stamps-I enjoy their storybook sort of style (Dreamerland is similar) They do still have digi
The HM artwork is licensed out to different manufacturers, and their official site sells the licensed products. Currently Stampendous holds the license to produce the artwork as rubber/clear stamps. In the past that license has been held by Stampa Rosa and Stampabilities, and Joanna Sheen had some exclusive unmounted sets at one point too.
I miss The Angel Company. Since they went out of business, I've bought from Gina K. Designs but they just seem to keep copying their own stamps - just changing itty bitty things. The vast majority of my stamps are Stampin' Up!, but their quality has gone down horribly, as well as their "new" stamp pads in 2019, so now I'm on the lookout for a different company.
Wild Rose Studio looks to still be active...? I see their stamps on lots of UK sites and on Amazon.
Dina...people still have inventory but the company had stopped making rubber stamps for the second time I think it was last year and they were going to fly with just digi and pre-prints... but now I cant even bring up their home site and their blog-the last entry was Jan of 2019.
There was a site that was their authorized sales place for discontinued for years. I would have to look it up now on ebay (prob UK since they are in the UK) I had talked to them about this bc images I want are not available there either. (typical for me pfft)
I will miss Winnie and Walter too as they are closing this year.
I really miss Cornish Heritage Farms.
I miss TAC.
I loved Stampsmith. I don't think they are around any longer.
Stampsmith is no more:( I bought a bunch of her bare rubber stamps made from classic movie stills and was in touch with her on how to get the best impression. This was on Etsy a few years ago at least. I also miss that woman who made stamps from Jane Austen-era engravings on Etsy! Never managed to buy any…

Oh, that is sad - I will have to hunt down a few more of those. I have a couple animal stamps I really like, and I love their elephants.
The Angel Company for sure. One of the first companies to start “cling” red rubber stamps. Reasonable prices, excellent quality, and with a great variety of stamps.

I have to echo Elzybells - I absolutely love that line and still have my stance to this day.
I also miss There She Goes - I was newish to stamping and wish I knew them to stock up when they closed!
And The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS). Loved the whimsical style of that stamp line !
I miss TAWS too. I hadn't been purchasing from her for long when she had to close shop. The one I miss most is Paper Smooches. I used to buy all if her sentiment stamps
I LOVED the Angel Company!!
I still have a LOT of their stamps and love the artwork on the realistic ones!!
I'm not so impressed with all the "'cartoony" stuff.
Does anyone know what’s going on with Northwoods? I tried to get on their site and it seems to have been hacked. All that appears is a bunch of Korean, or possibly Chinese, writing.
They have always had the most adorable Easter stamps, and lots of realistic animals. I hope they’re still in business.

I just logged onto their site and it seems to be ok at this time.

‘I saw your reply and tried again, but I was still getting the suspicious website and warning even when I tried clicking the site link on Northwoods’ Facebook page. I ended up calling the company and was told they changed their web address some time ago from northwoodsrubberstampstore.com to northwoodsrubberstamps.com. Mystery solved! Hopefully they’ll update Facebook soon.
I just ordered a digi from a Day for Daisies, and it isn't downloading right. I have left messages, so hopefully, she can get it resolved. I hope she is alright, as I notice no one has posted on her facebook blog since last summer.
I also miss Crafting Desert Divas. Loved her stamps and digis!!! She had the most adorable images and such cute sets!!!
Well, Tammy at A Day For Daisies is such a sweetheart! She sent me the digis to me via email ASAP! It may have been an issue with my computer or a setting etc.., but she took care of it for me. She was so nice! I ordered her "Cats Favorite Chair" digi as I loved the cats all sitting together on the chair. So sweet! Love her images and her kitty ones are adorable!
I looked several times at this discussion, and after thinking about it I miss Deadbeat Designs the most. I think Mark had the greatest sarcastic sentiments, such as Valentine Splash by gaylestamps at Splitcoaststampers

One of my favorite stamp companies, CAS-ual Fridays, closed in October. They had a lot of funny sentiments that I loved. I'm so sad I won't be able to buy new sets. So, even though it was recent, that is the stamp company I miss.
