A rubber stamp, an ink pad and a piece of paper are all that's needed to make a print. The rubber stamp works like a traditional carved block of wood or linoleum. The lines and areas of the design to be inked and printed are at the surface, the background is cut away. Your hand supplies the pressure to imprint paper with ink. Simple and elegant. And fun — especially with whimsical designs like those offered here.

Our designs were created by well-known printmakers specifically to be made into rubber stamps and sold to benefit the American Print Alliance. The highly detailed stamps are mounted on solid maple handles. Collect all five of our "printing blocks."
