Hi, friends! I am so excited to have the opportunity today to share a bit about one of my new favorite lines of products: PSA Essentials!

PSA Essentials manufactures personalized, self-inking stamps. With patent-pending Peel & Stick technology and thousands of stamp designs, PSA has stamp designs for every holiday, occasion, or sentiment that strikes your fancy, with licensed designs from Hello Kitty, Smirk, UBU, Peanuts and more. These stamps are the perfect way to dress up your envelopes or to use for crafting projects! 

PSA Stamp Camp, the PSA Essentials Blog, is devoted to those types of crafting projects, from sewing and decorating to paper crafting and scrapbooking.  


Without a doubt, what I love most is the versatility of these products. With their interchangeable Peel & Stick stamp sets, there are literally hundreds of possible designs that you can change out with every season!


The personalized return address stamps are a perfect option for all of your mailings, and especially for things like wedding invitations, holiday cards, and birth announcements that really call for an extra special touch. There is no better way to get a feel for exactly how PSA stamps work than to check out this terrific introductory video, which gives you a play-by-play for how to switch out the designs quickly and easily.

I recently had the opportunity to get my hands on the Wallace custom design set. It is terrific!


I love that I can mix and match the two components, both the outer ring with my address and the inner button with our monogram, with other Peel & Stick components to create countless other designs. With so many options, these stamps really are a terrific value.

This week, I made some cards to replenish my stash using my new PSA Essentials stamps.

 I created a few different card designs, and then adhered a blank 2-inch cardstock circle to the front of each card. Now I can pull out any of the cards for any occasion that comes up and use my PSA stamps to easily embellish the blank circle on each one with an appropriate sentiment or design. This makes cardmaking so much simpler, since I don’t have to worry about making a particular number of any one type of card (birthday, anniversary, thinking of you, etc.). 


With greeting cards costing upwards of $5 a pop, handmade cards really are the way to go. Not to mention that there is something about a handmade card that makes a recipient feel truly special!


So, how would you like to win a custom stamp of your very own? I thought so!

PSA Essentials is generously offering one lucky PS reader a custom stamp of her choice + free shipping!

    I’ve been interested in this for awhile now but did not want to get one as we’re in a rental. It is my hope that we’ll be in a house of our own by the end of March. (We’re currently under negotiations for one and it looks like we may just get it.) This would be a perfect start!

    Wow~! What a great product to make card making easier. I would definitely do exactly like you did and just switch out sentiments as needed.
