Stamp companies sprout up all the time -- which ones have you discovered and fell in love with this year? Mine was Kim Hughes' Paper Smooches site - she rocks!!
Totally agree about Kim's company - her funky style is awesome I fell in love with Lawn Fawn and had to have a few of their sets... Check out their blog for wonderful videos and specials - they rock!

These have been around for a while but are new to me - Kraftin' Kimmies and Lily of the Valley. I just discovered them this year and got a whole bunch of new rubber over the past year.
A new company and is Hawaii based is Sister Stamps. They have asian children - chinese and japanese. 4 releases so far and a 5th is due out in about two weeks.
One new company I discovered this year is Rogue Redhead Designs. They have some cool, funky stamps as well as vintage, old-timey stamps. My particular fave is their Millinery Misses set. BTW - their sheets are on sale through the end of this month. Just saying... (I don't work for them, I just love their stamps.)
Verve was new for me, MFT and Wplus9. I have not ordered from Lil' Inkers yet but I am thinking that will probably happen in the next year. This is a cool thread...some of these places i would have NEVER, EVER found!
I just "discovered" La Blanche stamps. They are very detailed images, made of silicone on foam mounts. I was skeptical at first because I generally am a wood-mount purist- I do occasionally use Hero Arts clings but I tend to stay away from clear stamps and definitely never use foam mounted stamps. Anyway, I ordered one La Blanche stamp from joann.com just to try it out and I was blown away by the quality of the image I got from the stamp. The images remind me of the elusive psx botanicals. I cant wait to order more!
Disclaimer- I am in no way associated with la Blache, Hero Arts or joanns. I am just a long time stamper THRILLED to see companies introducing great new stamping products.
If you like artsy/vintage type stamps the English company IndigoBlu has UM plates packed with stamps. Blue Moon Scrapbooking has started carrying some of them in the U.S.: IndigoBlu Rubber Stamps

Another vote for Paper and Such! GREAT stamps. I'm drumming my fingers for the next release! (and eating all the leftovers in the fridge so I can justify spending money on it!)

Oh my.. I so agree with what you are saying I started stamping with the PSX stamps and still hang on to one of their old catties... I too love the La Blanche stamps and Hero Arts has great new stamps... not to mention their new clings and dies sets... Can't wait to get my hands on a couple of 'em!

I went to a stamping/scrapping expo in November and got some gorgeous stamps at Stamp Camp. I failed to get the woman's name who ran the booth, but she was very interesting, and her sample cards were just terrific.
It's all unmounted rubber, which I know is not appealing to some people, but her prices were right.
Oh, I love this thread! I'm always looking for off-the-beaten-path stamp companies to sponsor our Catered Crop challenges. Thanks to this thread Avacado Arts is a new sponsor! Whoop Whoop.
Sweet 'n Sassy stamps...they just had a fantastic new release blog hop that is worth revisiting, lots of inspiration! Sweet 'n Sassy has just about everything a card maker would want, cute images, beautiful silhouette-style images, heart-felt sentiments and dies! This company is new to me but I'm very excited to get to know them better and maybe even enter a few of their challenges.

Thanks for the shout out, Melinda! We are so glad you found us, too, and can't wait to see what you make with our stamps!
