Stampsations! - Mark, Shelly, & Lydia Hinkle
When Stampsations! Rubber Art Stamps was established in October of 1998, it was the end result of a rubber stamping adventure that began years before when a relative gave us a box of unwanted stamps. At the time, we had no idea of the potential that lay in that ordinary-looking little box. At first, Shelly was introduced to embossing, adding a whole new dimension to her stamping projects. Gradually she became proficient at other techniques and began teaching classes. Finally, Stampsations! was born out of a desire to expand the love of stamping into a business venture.
When he is not teaching school, Mark can be found cutting stamp backs, indexing stamps, and maintaining the web site. He also creates most of the designs in the Stampsations! line of stamps. Shelly cuts the rubber, assembles the finished product, and handles promotion and marketing. She also prepares the orders for shipping so that Mark can make his daily pilgrimage to the post office. Lydia, who is a teenager, has become a proficient stamper herself and lends a hand wherever needed. Overseeing the entire operation is the sometimes serene, sometimes slightly psycho feline, Baby Dude.
Our goal is to provide unique designs and quality products that will inspire our customers to "Create a Stampsation!".
