I'm intrigued...
In the last month, I've meet 5 or 6 new people that call the rubber stamp itself a "Stamper".
Until now, I've never heard a stamp itself being called a "stamper"
To me:
Stamper means "Person who stamps"
To them:
Stamper means "Rubber thing you stamp with"
I'm wondering how many other people on here call the rubber stamp itself a "stamper"???
Could it be a thing about what part of the country you are from? For instance, I am from Maryland and say "soda". However, my niece and nephews in Minnesota say "pop".
Yup - have to agree... A Stamper Stamps with a STAMP!
Although I have never done it, I guess I might call one of those stamps that looks like a date stamp (or is a date stamp) and it has several words to stamp a stamper, and I might also call a wheel a stamper, like "Hey you! Pass me that stamper!" but I would probably get lots of funny looks, not for the "Hey you!"... (I do that all the time) but for the "stamper" part!
Just a funny thought (miss the edit button). At the next stamp camp, if I do say "Hey you, pass me that stamper." Someone might actually throw their neighbor at me : )
The object that one's uses an ink pad to make an image is a stamp (at least that't how I refer to it) and the one that uses that said stamp is a stamper. :lol:
Seriously, I have never heard the stamp being referred to as a stamper. Could be different parts of the country refer to it differently????
I'm with you. Kinda of weird, calling it a Stamper. Oh well, each to his own. Maybe they call it a stamper so they won't confuse it with the little sticker that you put on the outside of the envelope in the top right hand corner to insure that your card is delivered via the U.S. mail. Ya think?
Well, the vote is now 160 to 0. I think it is pretty clear how people on SCS feel. I'm wondering about these 5 or 6 people that you met who call the rubber a stamper.
Do they stamp? That is: are they stampers?
Do they go on SCS?
How did you meet them, and how did stamps (or stampers) come up in the conversation?
The first time I heard it was at a craft fair and some ladies looked at my big Linen background stamp and said "Wow, is that whole thing a stamper?" And I was like, what? and I realized they were refering to the stamp. Then I was at my downline's mom's house and she called it a stamper too??? And then a new customer as of a few months ago told me that her husband can make stampers and may start a business... so this is THREE PEOPLE in the last few months!
I don't think it is a regional thing. I've been stamping for 8 years and a demo for 5 and this is the first I've heard it used this way.

Okay it was me!!!! I accidentaly hit the wrong button and marked that its a stamper. NO NO NO Its a stamp and I am the stamper so it should be 100% stamp. I haven't finished my cup of coffee and I'm still groggy

LOL!!
I was wondering who that was. (I do that before the bottom of the cup, too ;))
Is it a Stamp? Or a Stamper?
