I make cards for lots of males in the family and have such a hard time finding stamps that work. These are ones I am always looking for:
fishing stamps - NOT trout fishing but rod and reel from the bank kind of fishing realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony. Fish types: crappie, catfish, bass, perch, bluegill Small stamps: hook, worm, minnow, net, stringer, bobber, etc
Dad and kids on bank fishing - realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Wild turkeys: realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Concrete truck, dump truck, backhoe, men working sign- realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Chain saw, hatchet, ax, wood pile, tree stump/stumps- realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Farm tractor vintage and new modern types- realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Cows, pigs, lambs, goats- realistic/artistic just not cute or cartoony
Coordinating barn and fence sections to create a scene in the same style and size ratio to go with the tractors and animals would be fantastic.
*A dove
*A Bible
*A church
*Several beautiful crosses in different sizes
*an icthus
*a lamb
*Christian-based words & Phrases that could be used together (Jesus, He is, Holy, Peace, Strength, Gentleness, Goodness, Amazing, Kindness, May the, He Will Give You, Mighty, Good, Grace, cross, ministry, thank you, service, Hope, Blessings, Prayer, Journal, etc.).
I agree...Unity doesn't have enough of these. I was very disappointed that there wasn't much selection for Easter, either.
My sons are celebrating birthdays on July and August this year. I'm having a hard time thinking what kind of invitation. There's nothing really cute that I could find. I think some sort of fun party invitations for kids would be great!
We could re-use them over and over again 'til they're in their teens! LOL.
I'm currently looking for a stamp of a blank drawing (like 50/50) ticket. Only can find ones with preprinted quotes. So this would be nice!

Well there was a big conversation on the Hip Hop today about Nascar...so how about trying your hands at some sort of race car related stamps?? Great for the guys!
I second the motion for some ballroom dance related stamps. I made a card for my dance teacher this week, and I would have loved to have some dance shoes that weren't ballet slippers, or a nice Fred-and-Ginger-type couple, or even the names of some dances in different appropriate fonts (waltz, tango, fox trot, rhumba, cha cha, swing, etc.) Even "Arthur Murray" type footprints would be fun!
I thought about since many people use Nestabilities not only for cards but also layouts, how about making some stamp sets that matches the measurements of their Spellbinder's nestabilities? (it'll also save us some time from paper piercing).
Ex. Labels 4 of Spellbinder. There are 6 dies in 1 set, maybe Unity can have 1 stamp set that has 6 stamp in it?
Die 1/Stamp 1: (Smallest die) A short word/phrase
Die 2/Stamp 2: Frame stamp (where the Die 1 can fit into)
Die 3/Stamp 3: Another quote/phrase or a cute picture
Die 4/Stamp 4: Different frame that will match Die3
Die 5/Stamp 5: A frame with journaling lines
Die 6/Stamp 6: Another style of frame/journaling lines etc.
Ok, I just discovered you and think I'm in love! Your stamps have such great simple lines that I love. I have been playing on your website and my request, like some others, is items for teen boys: skateboards, game controllers, miami ink type styles (I guess that's like skulls and scrolls, really), bikes... I see you have 4 beautiful boys, so check out their bedrooms for ideas!!
I also love the idea of a newspaper background. Maybe a "ransom note" type alphabet, too.
Another idea: kitchen gadgets/baking time. My daughter is in a HS culinary program and I've got about a gazillion photos of her baking at home. I always wish that I could find a chef's hat and coat stamp or simple line kitchen appliances stamps.
Lastly, gymnastics and dance stamps...it's hard to find decent ones of either.
Thanks for asking! Ok. time to order myself some goodies! Have a great day!

I would love more stamps with quotes, especially as I use two from Inka all the time, and it would be nice to have some "grounding" elements as well, ie, grass, short flowers, a dirt mound, things that you can use to place your images on so they are not "floating" on the page ; )
And would also appreciate stamp images that are easy to cut out as I tend to cut and layer my images.
Oh, and ditto to all of the other great suggestions, especially the newsprint one : )

Would love to see labels, distressing designs - coffee ring stain, newsprint, text, vintage children book stuff, journaling spots, frames, 12 inch border stamps, botanicals, buttons, more trees, bubble wrap background - calendar and date stamps...
Some great ideas here! I am jumping on the bandwagon with the suggestions for a blank 50/50 type ticket shape, newsprint background & a cooking/baking set! I would also love to see a Bride & Groom stamp (or a sketchy type silhouette of a bride & groom) and also a fairy!
I was wondering if you would bring back a twilight stamp. I think there was one last year and I've seen it on a few cards but I can't remember the name. I tried looking for it on the products page but can't find it.... Although I do have the werewolf sentiment!
I just got my first order of Unity Stamps and love them!
I see mother/daughter & father daughter stamps from other companies from time to time. I have two boys and would love to see something mother/son related.

My favorite stamps at Unity are the nostalgic ones... pinwheels, kites, dress form, etc.
How about some more vintage stamps:
jacks or marbles
tricycle
old fashion telephone
soap box scooter
deer stalker hat and pipe
rag doll
trellis covered with vines
BTW, I've been looking everywhere for stamps of some of the hana fuda playing cards... hint, hint...
