How we build our stamps.

Our Images:  We spend a lot of time getting our ideas out of our head and on onto paper.    Drawing, sketching, inking, and rendering each image until it's "just right."   

A lot of home work is done on items that are technical in nature, like aircraft of military equipment.   About 95% of our renderings are original designs... each stamp image has been made the old fashioned way... we render 'em all personally!   We send our rendered designs off to be turned into rubber and then put it all together to make mondo-cool stamps!

MOUNTED vs. UN-MOUNTED:

A MOUNTED STAMP from A Fistful of Stamps included the image etched into a rubber die which is mounted to a layer of rubber cushion which is mounted to a wood block.   The wood block is indexed with the image of the stamp die.

 

An UNMOUNTED STAMP is a rubber stamp die, with out any sort of mounting or backing added.    You will need to use a mounting system such as an acryllic block or wood block with unmounted stamps!

Mounted Rubber Stamps: 

Includes everything in the anatomy of a stamp, wood, cushion, rubber die, and an indexed image of the stamp hand indexed on the wood block.   The rubber art stamp is fully assembled and ready to use!   Great for collectables, and gifts!

 

Un-mounted Rubber Stamps: 

Rubber dies only... you supply your own mount and cushion.   Some folks use sticky tape and re-use the same wood blocks over and over again...  Other folks use plastic or acrylic blocks.  We recommend acrylic mounts by Stamp-In-Ink.

SAVE MONEY!!!

Un-mounted StampsCost 50% LESS
than fully mounted stamps!

Why?

Lower assembly and production cost, no wood mounts, no cushion,
lower materials, and shipping costs.   We pass this savings on to you!


The Anatomy of a Stamp.... by A Fistful of Stamps!

  • Wood Mounts: 
    Our wood mounts come from Guida Woodworks.  
    We did a lot of searching for wood mounts, and these are the best we've come across!    We like the flat mount for easier storage.   The materials used are yellow maple finished in a glossy resin to protect the wood for moister and heavy stampin' abuse!

    Guida's wood stock is their own fully renewable source of materials.  

    In our opinion, Guida Woodworks make the best maple mounts in the business! 

 

Our wood mounts have
a Square Profile.


Even though they're square,
they're cool man...

  • Rubber Cushion:
    We use high quality medium "squish" rubber cushion so your stamps will evenly make contact with your project every time!      Color is red or black.
 
  • Rubber Dies: 
    When the images are ready, we send them out to the master rubber crafter Jim Marcus at Circustamps. 
    Jim does an excellent job of converting our images in
     to rubber.   His product and service is simply the best around. 

    The image on the die is etched into the rubber from a high quality mold which is made from a master sheet, made from a similar etching from a photo static original image.

  • Alternative Acrylic Mounts for your un-mounted stamps:   When you order un-mounted stamps you'll need your own mounting when using your stamps!  We recommend acrylic mounts by Stamp-In-Ink.

We put it all together our selves and make stamps!  We trim, cut, index, and mount each stamp by hand.   We take pride in our the quality and workmanship that goes into each an every one.    We consider each stamp to be not only a tool for artists like you to use, but also as works of art themselves!

 We hope you agree!
