Felicette Rubber Stamps

May 18, 2015 // kristen // 2 replies

As an ardent admirer of rubber stamps, I’m always on the lookout for new and new-to-me companies that offer fresh, modern designs in classic, wood mounted form. So, naturally, I was totally jazzed when I found out about the recent launch of Felicette. Named after the famous French space cat – and that, by itself, is pretty darn awesome – Felicette specializes in quirky, hand drawn stamps that range from personalized taco and volcano-themed address stamps to simple and versatile designs such as anchors, stars, clouds, and silhouettes.

Lauren Quinn Ward, owner and head stamp maker, creates all of Felicette’s stamps in house from start to finish, including the wood mounts, which are cut and routed by Lauren from American Hard Maple that is sourced with the help of a local lumber yard. I am thoroughly impressed by Lauren’s do-it-yourself spirit and dedication and am absolutely enamored with Felicette’s fun and unique stamp designs. Check out some of my favorites below, and be sure to head on over to the Felicette shop to see the full collection!

Postage Frame Rubber Stamps by Anticipate

January 05, 2015 // kristen // 3 replies

It’s a brand new year, and you know what that means? Yep, it’s time for some fresh paper cravings!

First up is this awesome, new collection of “postage frame” rubber stamps from Anticipate. These clever stamps were designed to add a bit of fun and whimsy to an envelope’s postage stamps, and they are the perfect “frames” for most vintage and current postage.

Each of the frame designs, which range in style from clean and simple to ornate, is available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Use a single frame to add a touch of whimsy to your envelopes, or use multiple frames to create a gallery wall effect. Pretty neat, huh?

Anticipate also offers curated sets of vintage postage stamps that coordinate beautifully with the frame stamps.
