Craft Rubber Stamps

This is the whole range in one place — every stamp I've cut, from the smallest folk flower to the largest winter landscape. Browsing it is the slow way in, which I think is the right way. Birds and animals, botanicals, folk patterns, hearts, words, borders, seasonal designs, landscapes that hold a whole card on their own. Almost everything is designed to work with something else: a single botanical stem alongside a floral arrangement, a hare layered onto a winter scene, a word stamp pulling it all together. Most people start with one or two designs they love and add coordinating pieces as they go. They sit happily across a wide colour range — VersaFine Clair in Nocturne or Camellia Red, VersaColor in Sage or Atlantic Blue, metallic gold or copper on dark card — pick a colour you'll enjoy stamping with.

The range is built to grow with you. Buy a Folk Heart on its own and it works as a card or a gift tag; buy it alongside a Pretty Flower Border and now you have a wedding suite; add a word stamp and you have invitations. The same logic runs through every part of the catalogue — there are very few stamps in here that don't have natural companions.

For ink, VersaFine Clair is the workhorse for the detailed designs — sharp pigment, fast-drying, waterproof once set. VersaColor is softer and more translucent, better for sponge-blended backgrounds, folk florals and repeat patterns. Most stampers end up with both.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start if I'm new to the range?

The bestsellers are the safest place to begin — designs like the Snow Hare, Fox and Fir Tree, Folk Heart and Hare and Moon work year-round and are forgiving to stamp. A gift set bundles a stamp with a matching VersaFine Clair ink pad and removes the guesswork.

How are the stamps made?

Every stamp starts as an original lino cut on my workbench. The rubber is made from that artwork using a photopolymer process that uses about 95% less energy than traditional rubber stamp manufacture. The wooden handles are made in the UK from sustainably sourced beech.

Which type of ink should I start with?

VersaFine Clair is the most versatile for the range — it works on every detailed stamp, dries quickly and is waterproof once set. Colour choice is personal: Nocturne or charcoal for classic black-line work, Camellia Red for warmth, Smoky Blue or Deep Green for something quieter. Pick a colour you'll genuinely enjoy using — there's no wrong starting point.

Can I stamp on fabric, wood or kraft paper?

Yes — with the right ink. Use VersaCraft for fabric and wood (heat-set after stamping for permanence), or Stazon for non-porous surfaces like acrylic, glass and metal. Kraft paper works beautifully with any pigment ink; just press a little more firmly than on coated card.

How long do the stamps last?

With normal use and basic cleaning between ink colours, the stamps last for years — the photopolymer rubber is durable and the wooden mounts are made to handle. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth between uses; for pigment inks, an alcohol-free baby wipe lifts colour cleanly without damaging the rubber.
