Ladyfingers Letterpress Return Address Stamps

January 22, 2013 // kristen // 0 replies

As a total fangirl of both hand-lettering and rubber stamps, I just about had a “jaw meets floor” eposide when I spotted Ladyfingers Letterpress’ absolutely gorgeous, custom return address rubber stamps. These beauties feature hand drawn lettering from Ladyfingers’ own Arley-Rose Torsone, and the awesome array of styles makes it tough to choose a favorite. I love them all!

These stamps would add a wonderful, handcrafted touch to your wedding invitation envelopes, or you could splurge on one for everyday use. Who knows? The people at the electric or natural gas company may even notice how gorgeous your utility bill envelope is and give you a discount. A girl can dream, right?

Bookplate Rubber Stamps

August 27, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

Speaking of bookplates, I put together this little roundup of bookish rubber stamps that you can use to personalize your home library. Flat stamp your books in a rainbow of ink colors, or add some embossing powder to give the stamps additional oomph and texture. One of these stamps + and ink pad or two would make a great gift for any book lover!
