An unmounted stamp is the rubber that is usually mounted on a clear or wooden block. Requesting unmounted is leaving just a rubber piece with no mounting at all. Certain crafts and projects require the stamp to come this way, however we don't offer up our stamps unmounted unless requested otherwise.

The difference is simple. Both stamps are made from the same material except one is mounted on a wooden block, and one is mounted on a clear piece of acrylic block. Wood mounted stamps make great presents and keepsakes, while our clear block stamps are best for DIY projects since your can easily see where you're placing your impression.

A self-inking stamp is definitely the most popular when it comes to stamping. The reason being it is easy and effective! All you need is the stamp and your paper, there is no ink-pad needed! We love self-inking stamps mostly for their crisp and clear impressions, along with their long lasting life. You should get about 10,000 impressions before having to re-ink! (not recommended for glossy surfaces)

Since Etsy doesn't have a photo attachment feature, you can purchase the sock design you're interested in and send us a message with the image you want in an attachment. We'll be able to match up your photo with your order using that message. If you check out as a guest, please give us your order number as well.

Typically, any major design changes or additional engravings/features will be a $5-$10 fee. The final custom fee ultimately depends on your individual order. Most of our products come with the personalization included such as the names, dates, etc. shown in the original design.

Depending on your usage, our self-inking stamps can last up to 10,000 impressions or up to 2-5 years with proper care. Each stamp order comes with a proper care card to make the most of your stamp! However, we do sell bottles of refill ink if your stamp starts drying out.

If you live near the Glendora, California area - we offer free re-inking services if you visit our shop!

Our recipe boxes are 6.25 inches long by 5 inches high and 4.75 inches deep and they can fit 4 inch x 6 inch sized cards. The amount of cards that can fit in one box depends on the types of cards and dividers you have. We'd estimate one box can fit around 100+ cards.

We have a handy size chart image located on each sock listing, but if you're having trouble viewing the chart, here's a breakdown for you based off shoe size and our corresponding sizes:

Child 1-4 - YOUTH SMALL

Women 6-7, Men 4-6 - ADULT MEDIUM

Women 8-10, Men 7-11 - ADULT LARGE

Since our chalkboards are engraved, not printed, the design will be a light brown/beige color just like the wood underneath the chalkboard material.

If you're interested in signs with color, we have whiteboards that are color printed and can be used with dry erase markers!
