DECORA 6 Pieces Floral Pattern Round Wooden Rubber Stamp for Scrapbooking

For my uses, I think these will work out very well. I do not intend to use these stamps with ink and paper. I intend to use them to imprint polymer and air-dry clays. I'm a miniaturist. I build dollhouses and dollhouse miniatures in various scales, from 1/144 to 1/12 scale. For a number of years I've been searching for small stamps that would be useful for impressing designs into clay. I think these are what I've been looking for. The six little stamps stand approximately 15/16" tall and are 1 1/8" in diameter. The actual stamp portions are of delightfully delicate designs that are in scale with some of my projects-in-the-works. Each stamp has a different design which is adhered to a round dowel (hardwood, I think) with double-sided self-adhesive foam pad to provide some give when stamping. The stamp designs remind me of old-fashioned crocheted doilies; very pretty and feminine looking. Due to the very small size of the stamp base, I suspect that using this product for long periods of time might result in hand cramps. For additional control in positioning the stamps and less risk of hand cramps, I'm considering purchasing unfinished wood finials or unfinished wooden drawer knobs to attach to the wood base to give something more meaty to grab onto when stamping. If I do follow through with this notion of giving the stamps handles, I think I'd try using a strong epoxy adhesive since using a screw to attach any kind of handle might be unfeasible. As other reviewers have noted, the stamps do appear to be a bit off center. Not a problem for me, but it could be for one attempting to stamp in ink with accuracy. Keep this lack in mind if you are planning to use these on a scrapbooking project. The six stamps come in a clear plastic, rather flimsy holding case that is useful for keeping the stamps together, though I doubt the case will survive for long with much handling. All in all, I'm pleased with my purchase and expect the stamps will fulfill my intended purpose. Yes, I would buy them again -- they are a steal at less than a buck a stamp (I paid $5.88 for the set) -- and would recommend them to others -- depending upon how they intend to use them. So, do consider these if you are looking for inexpensive, dainty stamps with lovely, old-fashioned designs. Incidentally, I have tested these stamps on scraps of polymer clay (don't we all save bits and pieces of poly clay?) and was very happy with the results. With air-dry clays being softer than polymer clay, I expect the impressions won't be as defined as it is in poly clay but would still be satisfactory depending on its intended use. (Think: Designs stamped into air-dry clay on exteriors of dollhouses or dollhouse cabinets = interesting and unique.) Use your imagination and have fun with these!

For the super low price, these lovely, intricate little stamps are an absolute steal! They are really small, only about an inch in diameter each, and apparently some people end up with duplicate stamps and thus don't get a complete set of all 6 different patterns. I was willing to take the risk, because I still thought it was worth it even if I only got 5 different stamps. (I got all 6.) They stamp fine on paper. The patterns are really pretty. They are off-center, so look before you stamp!

Much smaller than I thought but still cute

very nice little stamps

These stamps are adorable!!!! I wasn't sure what to expect, the value was so good. They are perfect. Image is probably a little bit more than size of a quarter. Each one is different! I love these floral stamps.

they are smaller than I was expecting on a nice wood base and I do like the design. They are easy to use

Perfect for adding a special touch to holiday cards and kids arts and crafts. No smudging. Small size that can fit nicely into a crafting box or with other stamps

This small set of floral design stamps is the second set of this type I have purchased. The designs are detailed, clean and print nicely. Because the design is circular, the pattern really has no particular orientation and the wooden "handle" makes it easy to use. These are really nice for repeating background images, for gift tags, subtle ink designs, and work as well as incorporating into other designs. I do not know if this is true of all the stamps, but the design on top is not necessarily the orientation of the image produced. I simply put a line across the center of the top of the stamp to be parallel to the left and right of my sheet of paper and this keeps it straight when stamped if that is desired.
