Assembled in our home with my husband's craftsmanship (he is a willing contributor if he gets to play with his power tools), these rubber stamps feature "hello love" designs on quality Michigan maple wood mounts, the finest etched rubber in the industry and finished with an unique decorative door pull from my favorite shops and antique markets.
Each rubber stamp has an unique handle; all are packaged for individual or retail sale and most designs correspond to a "hello love" product such as a matching wrapping paper, notecard set, or invitation suite.
The first rubber stamp- "Belle Bleu"- will be available for sale at "hello love" starting March 27.
Look for new designs coming throughout the year.
