You CAN make a difference by emailing Karen Foster at [email protected] and letting them know how much you love the Snap stamps. Below is the email many are receiving in return - so let them know what you like about the stamps and what fonts you would like to see. Even make up some new ones if you'd like. Keep those emails flooding their inbox if you would like to see the Snap stamp manufacturing continue!!!
What size of stamps and font would you like the most? We are going to discuss this in our next company meeting.
Thank you!

You can also leave a message on this thread with any suggestions you may have. I have been in touch with Karen Foster Design and hope to talk with their product development manager soon. So let them know what you would like to see. I have suggested a lowercase formal set and an upper and lower case casual in the 1/8" and 1/4" sizes. I would LOVE to see stamps in both a sans serif and a serif type - this would give us both a masculine and feminine look. Perhaps even a Calligraphy type or a script. Funky is always good, but we need to start with the basics and add from there.
Let's see if our voices can make a difference!!! I don't want to loose this amazingly flexible product that allows us to stamp any sentiment our minds can dream up!
Please make these stamps again. I bought a set last year and now cannot find them. All my friends love my set and want a set of there own. Please, Please, please make these again.

I received today (June 21) an email from Shauna (at Karen Foster Designs) saying that they will indeed be making more SNAP stamps, but that she didnt know what font or size, other than the fact that they'll likely be "the smaller ones". I wanted to share this with all of you - although likely everyone already knows this by now.
I use the stamps to outline special words in my decorated diary/journal and these are the best thing since rubber stamping became an art-form. Before this, I had to search and cut out words from magazines, or equally time-consuming, use my creative fonts and hand-cut words with an Exacto knife (no wonder I'm known as the "ransom-note'queen" around here ...lol).
I wish there was a way for us to be notified as soon as they are available ...
Thank you Ellen for everything you do. I visit your blog often, though I do not leave messages - but your creativity is always inspires me.
Warm greetings from a Florida gal,
Vianna

I would love to have an casual italics set. I would really like if the letters could be closer together (don't know if that's possible).

I sent an email last week, but I have not received a response. I may not have recognized the address and deleted it if they replied. Thanks for the hope.

I sent an email last week, and they replied to me...twice! They wanted to know what size, and what type fonts. So maybe? ? ? ?

I just sent off an emailing asking them not to discontinue these stamps and possibly adding new fonts to chose from. I hope our efforts are answered and the snap stamps are here to stay.

One thing I would LOVE with the snap stamps, is if they also had a "snap" on the tops and bottoms. This could let you have cool vertical messages, but also you could space multi-line messages perfectly! I think that would be amazing.

Thanks for the info. Ellen! I have e-mailed them as well. :-D
Posted by: Debbie Olson | May 19, 2007 at 08:43 AM
I just sent them an e-mail, Ellen. Keep up the good fight! :o) Linda

I already begged and pleaded in my e-mail to them! Ellen, if there is anything I can do to help...please let me know...it seems you sure take a lot on! Would be more than happy to help!

Ellen I just wanted to tell you thank you for such speedy and wonderful service. I got my order today complete with my snap stamps! TY also for the cute ribbon and I loved the little card. What a great touch. I was looking forward to seeing that as I had heard you send out a TY card with every order.

Hey Ellen. I too wrote them and received the same email. I mentioned you in my reply and gave your blog link so that they could ask you for suggestions too (they probably already had but I didn't want to leave you out since you are so talented and a fan of the snap stamps!). Anyway, hope it helps!

Thanks for adding more comments on the Snap Stamps - I just couldn't get by without mine. When I emailed the company I included examples of the types of fonts I would like to see: Script, some kind of handwriting & Edwardian.

Thanks Ellen for taking this on! I'd hate to see these stamps go! They are fun and functional all in one!!
I've sent Karen Foster Design my e-mail!!

Very cool Ellen!
It might be nice to see something in a script type font. I only have the medium and small casual right now (ordered the rest from you not long ago) and I find myself gravitating more toward the smaller fonts because I am more of a card/3-D project maker. When I do more scrapbooking then I might be more inclined to use the bigger fonts more.
Posted by: Julia | May 18, 2007 at 10:15 AM
I sent an email begging them to continue the line and to add more fonts. Here's hoping that together we can make a difference
