Rubber Stamps & the Return to Handcrafted and Approachable Design
By Kyndall Oakley June 26, 2020
In a digital world, people are craving things that have an artistic, raw and handcrafted feel. Artists and artisans have continued creating their wares, despite the growing digital presence for the last 25 years or more. Now in 2020, people are back to “homier times”, according to this article on adobe.com, and they’re buying handmade gifts, and making things with their hands.

It was once a novelty to receive an email, now it’s a pleasant surprise to receive a hand-written letter in the mail, or to open a gift that’s been wrapped in homemade paper. Rubber stamps are contributing to the approachable, handcrafted look people are craving. Letter writers, artists, businesses and others are re-discovering the traditional rubber stamp and all its creative potential!

Here are some of the standout stamp designs we’ve seen lately here at Simply Stamps.
