Custom Stamp

One of my fave things about creating custom home stamps is hearing the stories behind the homes + the people that inhabit them. The latest stamp is for a pair of newlyweds who just bought a home and are starting their lives together… How exciting is that?!

This San Francisco custom stamp is one of my faves. As soon as I saw the ‘LIVE WORK’ sign above the door, I knew this was a home I identified with. The house is painted black, so I created a stamp in which almost the entire thing is inked up. I love how it turned out, but this can get a bit tricky for details over time. Therefore, I created a second, outline-only version as well.

P.S. buzzzzzz.

Those 3 dots above the house are actually bees, as the owner has been keeping bees + making honey on his roof! How rad is that? He is currently writing a survival guide for urban beekeeping. Check it out here on Kickstarter.

Just completed this custom home stamp for a beautiful row house in Ohio. This project was extra special as the owner just purchased the home… so exciting! The stamp will serve as the return address on her moving announcements. Love that.

Custom Stamp

Just finished this custom stamp for a gorgeous California home… check out the center pathway flanked by two giant palm trees + an American flag. How cool is that?! I am seriously right now.

I’ve been working on a bunch of custom home stamps lately. First up, this amazing home in Wisconsin… loving the wide porch and lawn full of wild flowers + grasses. My real estate envy continues…

Just wrapped up this custom stamp for a gorgeous home in Connecticut. Had a lot of fun with this one… really loving the architectural details of this house, especially the oval window above the front door. (I think I’m starting to live vicariously through my stamps).

Custom Home Package

Just wrapped up this custom home package for a lakeside cottage in the Adirondacks (one of my fave places to visit). The trees in that area are unreal - dense, looming, and always providing shade on a hot summer day. Okay, I kinda want to be there right now…

Congrats to K + B on the new home!

It’s no secret that I love stamps. You just can’t beat the imperfections and versatility that they offer. I am super excited about this custom stamp that I just wrapped up… my client asked for an illustration of her home as a return address stamp (genius idea, CW!) which led to the custom home cards. Which led to me falling in love with drawing people’s homes. Harks back to the good old days when homes had their own identities. Hello, Monticello!

One of the products I am super excited to offer when my shop opens (coming soon!) is a custom home package. These are the ultimate gifts for new home owners, beloved family homes, or even better - yourself! The custom home package will include an illustration by Scout’s Honor Co., a boxed set of 25 cards & envelopes (size A2), and one 8” x 10” print. Below are some examples I have been working on… If you are interested before the shop opens, please feel free to contact me. Photos by AB
