Rubber stamp out boring Valentine's cards

My four year-old can spend an entire afternoon playing with rubber stamps. And I must admit, I never thought of using them much myself until watching her and seeing some of the results. (She's good!) So when I came across Mollie Flatley's Etsy shop packed with the lovely handmade rubber stamps, I was lured right in.

 

I especially love this triple rose rubber stamp from Norajane, which would be a perfect way to decorate Valentine's cards in a few weeks, but would still be great for weddings, birthday cards, and anniversaries all year round. There's a heart doily stamp too, and the Valentine elves (below) kind of slay me.

There are more than 100 designs, and not just holiday ones. You'll find koalas and starfish and vintage designs like skeleton keys and cool rotary dials. Starting at just $3.50 each, I might even put a bunch of them together and make that the Valentine's gift in itself.

Then my kids have no excuse not to make me a thank you note. -Liz
