Curly-haired kids stamps?

[Lisa K Musil]

I make birthday cards for a LOT of people, and a lot of the kids are African American or mixed-race with curly hair. Do you have any suggestions for stamps, or stamp companies, or even keywords to type in to get stamps of kids that would represent the kid getting the card? Stampin' Up has a lot of cute kid stamps, but very few that look non-caucasian even when I color them with darker skin and hair. Thanks!

I have a daughter with super curly hair and am always on the lookout for the same

EDIT: I didn't pay close enough attention to your title - you had said "kids" and my suggestions are more for teens and older.

I have a couple of Bella stamps with curls from Stamping Bella back when she made the Bellas. Picket Fence Studios stamps also has some really nice ones. I like the Picket Fence ones because they don't all look ultra white and also, they aren't the juvenile style that so many "people" stamps are.

Stamping Bella has a lot of curly-haired girls. I'm partial to the Tiny Townies, personally: Tiny Townies
They are rubber stamps with cling foam attached.

If you are open to digital stamps, Mo Manning has a really fantastic collection that includes a lot of options: Multicultural - Page 1 - Mo's Digital Pencil
Some of her designs are in physical stamps via Penny Black (for example: Penny Black - andrea and raul)

Another digital option is Some Odd Girl's Piper character: https://www.someoddgirl.com/collections/piper
Piper is a bit older, but really great for teenager card because she's portrayed in fun activities like listening to music.
There are also some really fun fantasy characters from Some Odd Girl (like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell or a sorceress in training or Aquarius) if you wanted to go the magical route.

My Favorite Things' Pure Innocence line has a curly-haired girl stamp, too: https://www.mftstamps.com/products/p...10ab817e&_ss=r

The Greeting Farm has several curly options for both boys and girls: https://thegreetingfarm.com/collections/characters
And their digital line has even more variety.

I also really love this set from Right At Home:

It's great for winter cards.


Hope that helps.

Mo manning came to mind first for me also and while she has super cool digis, she still has regular rubber stamps too. Some are clearly non whites but many can be done by just changing the skin color.

She is also at stampingbella, etsy, Ebay etc.

Here is a cute one

There is this section at Rubbernecker but most of them are adults but some could pass for teens.

Picket Fence has at least a couple that I just stumbled across, though they’re not children. One is in her Beautiful Girls line called Sierra and one is Keisha Girl. pfstamps.com

Check on Sandy Allnock's blog for Coloring the Human Rainbow. She has various examples of how she colored "Caucasian" people to have culturally diverse hair styles and skin colors.

I like that she masked off the boy's hair to put in a different hair style.
