I found a card that I MUST make LOL and it uses a retired stamp from PSX. Not sure what the actual name of the stamp is but it's just a twig wreath with berries on it. It might just be called Berry Wreath. Here's a card made with the stamp.
I've also posted here on the ISO board, but just in case some people on here don't go over there, I thought I would post it here too. Please let me know if you have this and are willing to part with it.
Thanks

PSX the company ceased trading quite a few years ago, and all their stamps are highly sought after. They usually sell for silly money on E-Bay & Etsy. You could probably create a similar wreath using a twig stamp, and then adding berries? But good luck in the hunt for the original stamp.
I also did a search for "twig wreath rubber stamp" images and came up with some beautiful results. Impression Obsession and Penny Black both had some nice options, and I have the "Wreath Builder" set from The Cat's Pajamas that would make a similar wreath. Flourishes had a set called "Seasonal Wreaths" that included a twig/berry wreath - it might be easier to find than the PSX one. I would provide links, but I'm at work and my work computer won't let me do that. If I remember to come back later, I'll try to add some...
Stamp Tapestry has some great single stamps that would work for this and also Stamps by Judith has a nice collection to work with. I know you want the exact stamp but I have found over the years that just does not happen, lol. Good luck with your search.
If you want to hunt down the exact stamp that Janice used its
PSX K-1882 from 1996
Personal stamp exchange did not really "name" their stamps, they numbered them but, a lot of eBay sellers gave them names over the years and that one typically gets called a "bittersweet" wreath.
Search under PSX K-1882 rubber stamp. (never just stamp or you will get postage stamps) It isnt going to show you anything. Go the left, scroll down the side to SOLD listings. I see two were sold in Dec...this tells me if you are patient, it will likely show up again soon.
Checking sales lets me know if it is "around" with any frequency.
Also: if you have time and patience just ask for PSX stamps, wreath stamps (non stampers dont get the mfg thing), and stamp lots.
It has taken me two years to get some stamps on ebay, at a price I could afford. Other times they just pop up. I do a daily search on the mfg I like and that makes it fast and easy. (I am looking for a particular angel) PSX can show up for reasonable prices if you are not looking for pristine. NOTE: They made the same images in more than one size sometimes...be SURE of the size you are getting. Been there, done that.
Thanks so much. I didn't realize that they never named their stamps. Interesting. I will definitely keep checking everyday. I did some searching today with other companies for a comparable one but I'm the type that if it's a stamp I want, I will hold out til I find that particular one. LOL
And I copied down the "item number" and will use that when searching Thanks so much for the info.

I usually see it listed as PSX wreath stamp with berries. I used to have it, but lost almost 4000of my stamps in a house flood 3 years ago. I had it listed in my inventory as:
PSX -Personal Stamp Exchange Rose Hip Wreath-K1882
So maybe searching for the rose hip as part of your description might help you locate it. It is a beautiful stamp. I was devastated to lose my entire PSX collection.
I, too, am looking for this stamp: PSX K-1882. I would be willing to purchase this stamp at a reasonable price. Used is acceptable as long as there is no damage to the stamping image.
Anyone wanting to sell their PSX K-1882, or knows of someone who would be willing to sell, please contact me here.
