Introducing Hampton Art Stamps

Posted on by

Welcome to the Crafts ‘n things Blog!  Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Hampton Art Stamps! I have been working as a sample designer for Hampton Art since the fall of 2010 and joined their first-ever design team in the spring of 2012. They are a wonderful company to work with and I wanted to share more about them with all of you!

Since I first joined Hampton Art, they have added a steady stream of stamp licenses to their catalog!

Hampton Art has so graciously provided a prize to one of our Crafts n things readers!

To celebrate the latest Winter CHA 2013 release of Graphic 45 licensed stamps from Hampton Art, and to get you excited about winning that fabulous prize, I have created two cards for you!

This is a simple thank you card in perfect springtime colors.

I stamped the image and colored it with alcohol markers, then trimmed it out with circle dies.

The Hampton Art catalog also includes a full complement of pretty inks! I used moss green ink to stamp my sentiment.

I have also created a pretty friendship card with a sunflower theme.

Sunflowers just say “friendship” to me!

I once again stamped the image and colored it with alcohol markers, then trimmed it out with dies.

I finished off the inside of this card just to give it that extra-special “something” for an extra-special friend!

  1. I love the detail on the stamps. They are clean looking and very appealing to the eye. The stamps that you are showing, there are many things you could do with them, cards and signs for the garden to name a couple. I would very much like to win these.

  5. I really wouldn’t mind too much if I won the prize. Those are totally gorgeous stamps. Secret Garden is going on the top of my wishlist. I am also going to be on the lookout for the ink pads you used. Especially since I can use alcohol inks with them.

    Your cards are lovely and nice job on the coloring. Thanks for sharing your creativity and thanks for the chance to win.

  8. I love Hampton Art and all of their subsidiary companies: Graphic 45, 7 Gypsies, Studio G Doodlebug, etc. Unfortunately I have not gotten as many as I would like. These are also on my list of stamps I want.
    I plan to get more of their inks. Right now I only have some of the Studio G ink pads.
    I hope your relationship is a fruitful one. Thank you for the giveaway.
