Just got the email this morning and this stamp set is already sold out. I really love her stamps, but $19.50 for a 4x6 set, yikes! I am so torn between supporting a small business and trying to find something similar for less $. |

It's available for pre-order!
Christine is awesome. She has a great eye for design and a thirst to improve her offer constantly. She not only asks input and ideas (you can always DM her on Insta with stamp set ideas and see where it goes from there), she actually listens and applies. On top of that, she is a one-woman business and does everything including fulfilling every single order on her own and customer service. She sources supplies locally as well, including her stamp sleeves (and boy, they were a game changer in the scrappy stamp world when she first introduced them).
I'm currently waiting to see what happens with Kelly's clearance sale. After that, I'll be placing a decent order over at Everyday Explorers. I understand $19.50 is high but I can't see how she could go lower considering she's operating all of this on her own. She's a true indie brand all the way through in a niche corner of the documenting world. That simply costs more for her as a tiny business owner.

Well they may be expensive but they are good quality, do not loose their stickiness ( at least not after washing ) and she has good customer service. The stamps hold their shape and perform as they should. Everything comes wrapped well and properly packed for shipping. I’d own way more of her stamps if they were a better price point but I don’t know her expenses so I can’t say if she can do that. I don’t have a lot of her stuff, but what I do have I love & use and have no issue with. Costs are higher for a small business.
I have plenty of lesser cost stamps but many of them are lesser quality too. Some have aberrations on the stamp, some loose stickiness, some have both issues. Some stretch out, I hate squares or rectangles with bowed sides because the stamp is cheaply made and stretches out if shape.
( Heidi Swapp I’m looking at your stamps, they suck! Though I love the designs & want to use them all the time in my planner, I can’t use them if they are constantly falling off and crapping up what I’m working on. Heidi you partner with bigger companies that can afford to provide a quality stamp and yet they are the crappiest ones I own. Every Heidi set I have is in the give away bin because of quality not design. I wish you would partner with a better quality company! )

I have one tiny set of icon stamps, bought like five years ago, that I barely touched because they wouldn’t stick to my block. Lo and behold, they’re Heidi Swapp!
I grabbed the 29 prompts and the days of the week set. There were a couple other sets I’d love to get, but the price is a deterrent. I was really pleased to see she’s dropped her shipping price! It was only $3.xx to ship to me across the country, last time I just wanted a few sticker sheets the ship fee was double that.

I love EE stamps & customer service is great. I do want to say here though that I have had issues with her stamps losing stickiness, at least one of her stamps that has tiny icons that I use frequently. But, the stamps are well made and stamp a crisp design and I love the sleeves they come in, I want them for all my stamps! I still buy her stamps and would happily buy more, but they are pricy so I don't have as many as I'd like. But I agree with others... the price point is because it is a small business so there is more overhead and the quality is pretty good, minus the stickiness issue.

So I love the stamps and have several sets of the 4x6 but I must be the only person alive who doesn’t like the sleeves they come in lol. They are too tight and I always struggle to get them in and out....almost all of them rip because of this. The side edges are so sharp I’ve sliced my fingers open on them several times. At this point I just throw them away and use the Avery Elle ones instead.

It does seem pricey, but I love almost all of the prompts! I have the book club stamp set. If I feel like I can use a set multiple times, I don't mind spending more.
You can always buy the digital version for $5.99! I might do this instead. The types of stamps she sells, I'd probably use black most of the time anyway. I don't have PhotoShop. I convert the png files to jpg and print them that way.

Christine is going to get all of my money lol. I placed a big stamp order for June and am doing the positivity passport. I keep seeing the sneaks for her July release and I will be buying those too. I swear IG is the worst thing for my craft buying.

If I know I can use the stamps multiple times, I think it's a good investment. I really like this set.
