A reader recently contacted me to rave about her latest find. Here's what Laurel Carpenter has to say about Sideshow Stamps:
Do you like retro crafting? The family-owned company Sideshow Stamps has a wacky, fantastic selection of hand-crafted rubber stamps which remind me of Coney Island and 1940s-1950s nostalgia. All of the designs are original and drawn by owners Noah and Jennifer Snodgrass.
One of the featured rubber stamps on their site is the infamous fringed lamp from the movie a Christmas Story! How cool is that?! Their Web site sells a variety of stamps, including images of mermaids, tiki lamps, circus performers, hibiscus flowers, and mod pinup girls. Sideshow stamps come unmounted or mounted for easy use. I also was pleased with the customer service I received from Noah and Jennifer.
Right now, they are having a great special. If you post a card to your blog or Web site using their rubber stamps, you can receive a grab bag of stamps for free. Also, to celebrate the birth of their new baby girl, Noah and Jennifer are offering shipping for $1 for a limited time only. That's a great deal!
I am getting my grab bag in a few days after sending them my Web site, Crafting with an Edge, which includes a sample of something I made with their stamps. To contact me about these cards, card making in general or classes, please send an e-mail to nycpearl2003@yahoo.com.
