Craft Product Review: My Stamp Box Stamps

October 7, 2011

It’s no secret that I love stamps, so when I opened my box of products from Summer CHA to review, I was super happy to see stamps in the box!  At first glance, these stamps called My Stamp Box might appear to be just another brand of your ordinary photopolymer stamps.  But they’re not.  The name is a clue…and the packaging for these stamps is very cleverly designed!

Let me demonstrate.  When you open the package, you have a clear CD-like jewel case, and inside is a sheet of acrylic stamps.  On the inside of the CD case are black line-images of each of the stamps.  The idea is that you open the CD case flip it around, and it stands open…the first time you use your stamps, you remove them from the sheet they come on, stick them on top of their corresponding images on the CD case, which is where they will forevermore be stored – but also where they will stand open, ready to be used when you want to use them!  How clever is that?!

I loved that once I had put all of the stamps in place, they were right there, waiting for me, and thanks to the black line images, I could see clearly what each image was.  I have MANY different kinds of acrylic and rubber cling stamps – and have tried many different storage solutions (including CD cases) – but had never come across something like this before – and I have to say, I quite liked it!

But how did they stamp?  Perfectly well!  I stamped some of them using Archival Ink, and then colored them in using Pitt Artist Pens and Aquarelle watercolor pencils/water brush here.

I also stamped several using the new Limited Edition Fall Distress Inks onto vintage dictionary paper, colored them in using an ink blending tool with the same inks, and cut them out to make this card.

This Leaves set retails for $15.99 U.S. and the same Canadian at the moment.  (Did I mention that My Stamp Box is a Canadian-based company?)  Overall, I love the design, love the storage…I think the stamps are great.  They have a focus on scrapbooking-themed stamp sets, but lots of the stamps could also be used for cards or other projects.  They are definitely worth checking out and asking your local retailer to carry for you!

    Wow, I love the way they are stored in a way you can find exactly what you are looking for!! I love the way you did the leaves on that paper!

    I absolutely love this storage idea. I just knew that all of those jewel cases I have squirreled away would come in handy some day. Sorry for stealing your idea “My Stamp Box” but my own personal stash of clear stamps is about to get a major re-org!

    Your ‘happy fall’ card is really cute! The flower is a nice finishing touch. I will have to give this brand a try. If you like these stamps look at Papertrey Ink stamps. They have done this exact storage solution that comes with their sets for years and their photopolymer is also high quality.
