Presenting: Hopkins & Friends™, a new rubber stamp line by InkyAntics.com!

Hello everyone! I am SO excited to present to you my very first line of rubber stamps!

Introducing...

Hopkins & Friends™
Clear Stamp Sets and Cling Mount Background Stamps

I recently received some samples and wanted to share this with you as it has been, for me, a very exciting, and interesting project. I have had the pleasure of working with my newest client over the past few months, and though previously slotted for 12 sets in total, we decided to embark on the first six with a launch of them in October.

October came, and it was almost over, and I hadn't heard from my client, and so something just didn't feel right. I've had a lot of super projects through the years, and I've had some disappointing and difficult projects as well, and I thought it was curious that I hadn't heard a peep from the outset of the launch. I decided to write to her, and ask for feedback of the launch. A few days passed, and finally I found out that she was also disappointed with the initial launch of the sets. My hunch was correct, but it was completely fine, as this is a new product/project/client, I wanted ultimately to gather feedback. Positive feedback always feels great and successful products are the goal, but as I continue on this journey, I always have to find out the nitty gritty (when possible) so as to learn and grow and do better the next time. (I hope there'd be a next time or chance!).

Anyway, with further feedback (that my little creatures were a bit more complicated than what is currently hot in the market), my client asked if I'd like to pursue something completely different, and so, I'm currently working on 6 more sets for this wonderful company. I can't be more grateful! I'll be lettering and designing, and hopefully in the future, these little critters (or iterations of them) will continue on in some form as stamps.

I am so honored to have this opportunity and to be able to share my work with all of you. They're available to order online, which is so exciting for me to share. I just stamped with one of my creations, and it is the most rewarding experience.

Though Hopkins & Friends™ didn't have the best initial launch, I'm hopeful that you'll find them worthy of a look, and perhaps sharing with others who might like these stamps for their collections and creations! I'm super happy with the quality of their stamps...they ink, and wash so completely and cleanly.

I'll be in touch with the next 6 once they launch...thanks friends for your continued support of my work, I greatly appreciate it! All my best ~ Shirley
