Less well-known stamp companies/sellers
Everybody's heard of Quietfire, Stampin' Up, My Favorite Things and the other big players in the stamp business, but there are a lot of little outfits selling interesting stamps. If you come across them at all, it seems to be by accident or referral. Maybe they're one-man or one-woman outfits, maybe their websites aren't slick, but they've got something to offer other sites don't. I'm sure I know some you never heard of, and you know some I've never heard of, so how about we give some of the less well-known companies or sellers a little media oxygen in this thread?
I'll start the ball rolling with a few:
Third Stone Art Rubber Stamps: Welcome to Third Stone Stamps - We have something for every taste!
Prickley Pear: Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps
Paperbag Studio: https://paperbagstudios.com/
Your turn!

I saw the sweetest new company at CHA - their site isn't operational yet, but it's called Flora and Fauna - really whimsical, sweet animals. Clear stamps made in the US. The owner was very nice.

One of my favorites is a company that used to be in my home town and would be at all the stamp shows. She moved but still sells stamps on etsy....check out

I'm not finding a website for them, Lydia. Do you know if they've got one, or are they too new/small to have got that far?
Update: Sorry, I didn't read that their site wasn't operational yet - my bad!

I thought Prickley Pear went out of business. I loved her stamps, though, and she is a very nice person. I was on the Repeat Impressions design team, and Wendy is very sweet and has great stamps. I also like Seaside Stampin', Just For Fun, Starving Artist, Inky Antics, and Darcie's. (Sorry I wasn't able to include all the links.)

Great thread, thanks, Diana! If these are well known, please tell me and I'll edit them out.
Sue Coccia's animal spirit stamps. Amazing for coloring, not that I color, with what each animal symbolizes below each image: Rubber Cling stamps
Gallery of designs (click on Rubber Stamps on the left): Rubber Cling stamps
Catherine Scanlon designs/blog: Rubber Cling stamps
My fave large wonky alphas are from her Etsy shop but the shop is empty now. Gorgeous sketchy flowers/nature. This site sells her stamps and represents other artists: Catherine Scanlon Designs
I've taken a class by the wonderful owner of Rubber Moon, Kristen Powers (Kae Pea). Quirky, endearing images, some that make scenes, or abstract shapes used together: https://rubbermoon.com

Prickley Pear was bought by someone else (I think the same people who bought Riley, but don't quote me on that).
There was a small company, Clear & Simple, from Maryland who came to our local Heirloom show years ago. They haven't been back since, but their web site looks like it is still active. I have the build-a-critter stamps/dies but had to search for them manually as they didn't appear to be listed anywhere. Seems like a lot of their stamps are hard to find but they have some really unique stamps.
Another new company at the Heirloom show this year was Blue Knight. They have some really cool antique cars and I just loved their mama and baby sheep stamp.
I also like DRS which was already mentioned.

I'll add a couple.
Happy Little Stampers - Shop started by Kylie - who is the nicest person and has designed some really fun stamps and sentiments. Kylie also runs several challenge sites Happy Little Stampers
I also bought a couple of the sweetest images from purpleoniondesigns they aren't mounted - I had to cut and mount them - but totally worth the little bit of effort.
So nice to see so many smaller companies being highlighted here

I didn't know that was a way to accomplish that! I just use the check boxes at the bottom of the page.

Wow! What a great list. Living 6 hours from probably the only LSS store in my state(at least that I have been able to find) doesn't help with shopping. 4-6 hours to some I've found on-line in other states nearby---but I would love to just go in and browse and buy. Thanks

I live in Los Angeles County and LSS are scarcer than hens' teeth here, too - the internet is wonderful, but it's closing brick-and-mortar stores of all kinds throughout the country. Sad.
Gingerwood links used to have a list of LSS by state, but I don't see it there any more. Maybe I am mis-remembering where I saw the list (happens at lot at my age...), but wouldn't it be nice to have such a thing? We don't always know what's in our own backyards.

Ditto that. I only found out about an LSS 35-40 minutes away when volunteering at a Stamp & SB Expo. A woman and her neice were working with me at registration, and asked if I had been there. I forgot the name and the town, so spent ages googling various permutations of LSS type words, and finally bingo.

Art Neko - www.artneko.com
Most people shy away from Art Neko thinking that it is just Asian/Oriental stamps. Oh no...... there is SO much more! They have the most gorgeous floral stamps, and the collage stamps are just awesome. The handmade Thai papers make me swoooooooooon.
Check out the Art Neko blog at ArtNekoGalleries.com - have fun drooling! :-)

I love Katzelcraft's stuff, too! Katzelkraft - French rubber stamps - KATZELKRAFT (This is the English-language version, but remember that "tampon" means "stamp" in French! Pricing is in euros)
