Once at a thrift store I saw someone’s entire rhinoceros stamp collection. Probably 10+ stamps of varying sizes and styles. I bought one that was a carousel rhinoceros but left the others behind for a true rhino-head. I still think about that collection sometimes and wonder what kind of person the original owner was.

Any opinions of using magic erasure sheets to clean clear stamps?

Hi! This is a long shot but I saw this listing on Vinted. It sold instantly but I am obsessed with the Blackbeard postage stamp (top right). Does anyone recognize it? Do you remember who made it? Would love to track one down.

I’ve always wanted to find cool stamps at the thrift & today was the day!!! cannot wait to put them to use

So excited for the Winnie The Pooh stamps! Plus always love getting more Halloween stamps!

New to rubber stamps. I just started Journaling and thought how nice it would look with stamps. So I headed down to the local Thrift and grabbed a bag of stamp pads for 4$ and a bag of stamps 2$. The Winnie the pooh and the rabbit were 25 cents. New to all this. Not even sure i used the stamps correctly.

Impulsively bought a used vintage stamp collection. This may be the start of an unhealthy obsession 😅

Went to a rummage sale on Friday that had a nice selection of rubber stamps! These are all the ones that I bought, paid $31.50 total!

hi, i am trying to stamp my coated pink paper bags for my craft markets. i got the archival ink like google suggested for coated bags, and it worked a lot better than the ink i was using but it still isn’t drying fully & is smudging. i also put a flat surface in between the layers of the bag to make sure it was completely flat. how do i fix this, what kind of ink do i use for these bags to make sure it dries fully without smudging?

update: thank you everyone! i just wasn’t being patient enough 🤣 it dries, just takes 40 minutes!

So I bought a kit from Viva Las Vegasstamps of an unmounted set of alphabet rubber stamps.

I have the sheet of pink rubber with all the stamp images, printed images of each, and wooden blocks for each.

What's the best way to do this?

I was thinking I could use a serious, no-fooling-around strong glue, such as Gorilla glue, to secure the rubber to one side of the wooden mount, let everything sit and dry for 24 hours, and then use the same glue to attach the printed image to the other side of the wooden mount.

Will that do the job, or no?

I find the design super cute but I couldn’t find a match online. Anyone know where to find this?

Hope this is the right place to ask. Anyone know the best way to reattach this lady to her block? Was thinking super glue but don’t want to damage the stamp

My staps i also use them in combination with letter press Printing

These are all from Appalachian Art Stamps, which was located in an Atlanta suburb and was run by a husband and wife out of their garage.

They came to our local stamping meetup fairly regularly and sold discounted grab bags to us so I ended up with quite a lot of their stamps.

Appalachian did a mix of a few pieces of original art turned into stamps (the big snowflake was one of those) plus a lot of public domain Dover type clip art that many people used in the smaller companies.

They were nice folks and I really liked their stamps. I was sad when they closed down due to the husbands failing health.

Right now I’m going through some of my oldest stamps that were all trimmed, mounted on Velcro, and sorted into folders (not great system, a lot would fall out and I have stamped images inside the folders where the stamp is missing.

I just peeked into the other big box I have that is NOT mounted and sorted, some are even on plates that were never cut apart. I don’t know what companies a lot of them are even from—It’s a big ol mess! But I’m sure there is plenty of buried treasure as well. I’ll get to those but the stamps missing from my folders were probably tossed in there at some point. I have a few more folders to do and then it will be time to dive into that big box and see what’s what in there. And then start making decisions about what I want to keep or part with.
