Toto, we’re not in Vermont anymore. I mean, look at that foliage. Had fun creating a custom home stamp for this beautiful California home. Spanish roof tiles, curved windows, palm trees, + other exotic plants I’ll never know the names of… California living is looking pretty good. (Besides the fact that it’s 19 degrees right now).

Just wrapped up this custom home stamp for a lovely home in Ohio. This was a gift from one sister to another… as someone with 3 sisters, I am backing that! I really enjoy working with clients to figure out what the essence of each house is - which details to highlight to make it truly feel like home. In this case, it was all about the texture. The house has wood planks on the bottom and wood shingles on top. Extra details were added to capture those unique qualities… I am psyched with how it turned out!

The latest custom home stamp features a gorgeous family home in Massachusetts. This one was a gift to the customer’s parents for Christmas - love that! My fave details are the lanterns flanking the front door and the flag on the far right of the house. Classic.

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.

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).

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!
