Hanna Stamps!

I am so excited about today's rubber stamp designer/retailer ~ as the title says it's Hanna Stamps! Why am I so excited you ask? Well, they have one of my favorite stamp lines on the market....RILEY!!! Isn't he adorable? I have a thing for Moose ;)

Hanna Stamps was born out of necessity....how you might ask? Well, Kristi, an avid card maker after years of making cards with other people stamps found herself wanting to use a variety of images that weren't offered by any other stamp companies. The Ferro's had a family meeting and they all agreed this would be right! The rest is stamping history! Kristi adds, "So I quit my nursing job to pursue my dream of owning my own stamp company. I also wanted to say quitting my nursing job was one of the most scariest thing I have ever done in my life. I had to work very hard to get my degree, with years of sacrificing a normal life, and now to stop doing what I love , only to continue doing something I really love made it an easy transition."

I asked Kristi what inspires her images and she said, "Hanna inspires my images. She is the who tells me what she wants in a stamp set." The Hanna she is referring to is her daughter! Kristi goes on to say, "Hanna is very excited to have a line of stamps named after her. The images and logo are a sketch of the real Hanna Ferro. That is another reason why this line is so near and dear to my heart." And who wouldn't be tickled to have a stamp line named after them!!

Hanna Stamps offers clear, unmounted deeply etched red rubber as well as mounted red rubber stamps. They come out with 3-4 new images each month so you'll want to check back often so you don't miss out! Kristi's best selling images are ~ Things Hanna Would Say, Sweet Celebrations (Kristi adds - This set is our most versatile set. I have made baby cards, sympathy cards, anniversary cards you name it.) and then Coffee Riley.

Hanna Stamps is an Angel Company ~ all they ask is that you give them credit for the images. They do have a special Hanna Stamps Image for the back of your card with all the proper information if you're interested!

HS offers free shipping on orders of $35.00 or more in the United States and Canada. $7 for the rest of the world.

Now on to the fun stuff!! THE STAMPS!!!!! There are so many fun images offered at Hanna Stamps, it's hard to know where to begin. Hanna is such a busy woman, you can go with her when she shops in the But I Need It set; read a good book - with Bookworm Hanna; or even clean the house with Hanna the Domestic Goddess! Hanna can also be found in the Garden; Kitchen, Wrapping the Perfect Package; or even being a Teacher... You simply must check them all out for yourself....so many fun, unique sets not found anywhere else!

Not to leave the guys out there is also Mikey, Anthony and man's best friend...in both the large and small varieties.

Then Kristi has Riley!! He is just the most adorable little guy doing all the fun things that moose do....

  1. OMG! Roni, I'm hyperventilating!! I only just recently discovered Riley, through you...as a matter of fact....and I have SUCH a crush on that little moose!! I would be over the moon to win the Driving Riley. He looks so jaunty with his scarf!!
    My favorite Hanna stamps would have to be the Riley ones. Love the Vampire Riley...he just makes me laugh! And who couldn't love Baking Riley with his tray of cupcakes straight out of the over!

  2. Riley is adorable!! I love how he looks driving in his little car and the snowman one is so cute, but I think my favorite one is pirate Riley. That is hilarious. I would love to own the Super Riley... my hero collection just wouldn't be complete without him!
    AS for Hanna images, I like Route 66 the best.

  5. All the Hanna Stamps are fun, but with Christmas creeping up quickly, I say Santa Riley: that would be the one for me.. but I also like Coffee Riley, Camping Riley (just the touch of those few mushrooms growing in the foreground adds so much). I've seen Sick Riley colored with a rosey fever across his cheeks that was DARLING! I don't own an HS's ~yet!

    Thanks to you for the link to "Flower Soft", I found a new Stamp/SB~ing store in my MIL's home town! I plan to go there this week to check it out and get some Flower Soft~yeah, I NEED it!

  11. I love that little moose. I have a couple blogs bookmarked that use him a lot.
    I need to place an order for some of the stamps.
    I think my favorite right now is the one of Riley in a Pilgrim hat, holding a turkey. I love Thanksgiving and it would be a cute addition to place cards.
