I am totally addicted to stamps. In the past, my favorite company was Stampin' Up, then it switched to Close to My Heart, and now I think it is Heartfelt Creations. I love the Heartfelt Creations style, how many of their stamps coordinate, and I love their matching dies. Right now I especially love their stamps and dies for making 3D flowers.
Would you like to share your favorite stamp company and tell what you love about them?

I'm loving Altenew and Wplus9 right now. They have stamps with matching dies and I love that.  There are so many great companies but these two are my newest faves. |

I'm sitting here racking my brain trying to visual what company I have the most of.
I have loads of CTMH (used to be a rep) and Stampin Up (currently a demo) but I think I tend to buy mostly..
My Favorite Things - love their sentiments and stamps good for scrapbooking
JustRite Stamps (sadly closing) - love their sentiments
Anna Griffin - she has some wonderful sentiment and interior sentiments for cards.
I also have a lot of Heartfelt Creations - love their flower stamps that coordinate with the dies

Wow, I have lots of favourite stamp companies. So I took a quick look through my catalogue to see which I favour when it comes right down to buying.
B Line Designs
Impression Obsession (especially the background stamps)
Crafty Individuals
Stamper's Anonymous
Hampton Art ( G45 stamps especially)
Chapel Road
Stampendous
Quietfire Designs
I was a little sad to notice that a lot of companies that I used to buy are no longer around.

I just had a garage sale today and was trying to sell most of my wooden stamps. I had to laugh at people who were shocked to see them. I guess people are used to clear stamps now. It was funny though since they still sell them.
I don't have a favorite brand, but I do like the ones that have stamps that go with them.

I used to work for Impression Obsession and they have literally over 10,000 stamp designs plus dies and lots of other cool products created by the owner. Another company I love is Serendipity Stamps. They have dies that coordinate with stamps, too.

My favorite is still Catslife Press (CLP), a small mom-n-pop company that designs their own deep-etched red rubber images, made in the USA & offered mounted or unmounted, with unparalleled customer service. Although I live across the country & have no affiliation with the company/owners, I have been a fan & customer for years & highly recommend CLP!

I really like unmounted rubber stamps especially sheets or even individual stamps-sometimes having choices is perfect. The reason I like them is because I really think rubber stamps make the best impressions, and with unmounted rubber I save money and storage space.
I buy most of my unmounted rubber stamp sheets from Club Scrap. You don't have to be a member to shop at their store. You can see what they have by going here http://www.clubscrap.com I would love to find other stamp sites that offer unmounted rubber stamps. Does anyone know of any?
It's very easy to prepare them for stamping. If it's a sheet, I just cut out the individual stamps. Then I get my handy dandy Club Scrap pizza box or any clean pizza box will do. I spread a layer of Aleene's Tack it Over and Over glue all over the bottom of the box and let that dry first. Next I put the stamps in the box upside down so the bottom is facing up. This way they are secure, but peel off easily. Oh, forgot to tell you-I first take the glue and mix it with water half and half. Makes it so much easier to work with and it's still sticky enough. Aleene used to make a easy to use direct out of the bottle diluted tack it over and over glue called Aleene's Spritz On Reposition It tacky glue, but sadly that isn't made anymore.
So the next step is I pour some glue out on a piece of cardboard, dip a foam brush into it and brush it onto the back of the stamps that are laid out in the pizza box upside down. I do them all and then shut the box. I let it sit overnight. I usually do a stack of boxes at a time for as many stamp sheets as I have to do in that session.
Next day I open the boxes, take them out and store them on acetate sheets which I slip into page protectors that are 81/2 x11, putting the paper guide with the illustrations of the stamps in the front of the page protector. These all go into Unikeep binders. I like them because they completely enclose and they just work better for me than 3 ring binders.
