Typewriter Stamp Roundup

Sharing Dan's anniversary card yesterday got me thinking about how many typewriter stamps I've been seeing lately.

There's the one I used, which is from We R Memory Keepers:

There's this new wood-mount lovely from Hero Arts:


Hero Arts also has this useful cling set where you can change out the words on the typing paper:


Or, you can get their background stamp with typewriters and typewriter keys flying around all over the place (I'm not so sure about this one.):



Also in the change-out-the-sentiment family are these sets from the new stamping company Lawn Fawn:


And there are tons of super vintagey typewriter stamps, like this one from Technique Tuesday:


And this one by October Afternoon:



So, what do you think of this trend? I mostly just like thinking about the crafters of the future who will be using all sorts of vintage Kindle and i-Pad-themed products on their projects.

STAMPS! Stamps are the key to cute cards!

It's all starting to make sense.

Tracey, you're going to put Hallmark out of business.
Neato! I always associate old fashioned typewriters with my blogging pal Nat (of Book Line & Sinker fame) - she even uses a pink one in her header, but I've also seen them cropping up other places. Like, yesterday, for instance - another blogging pal Inky posted this exquisite black & white photo of his wife's typewriter -- Beautiful!

Yeah, I think this vintage trend is everywhere, from fashion to home decor to design. I'm also seeing old, fancy rotary phones, old-timey hot air balloons, and vintage bicycles.

I think I might try to steal my parents' unused typewriter out of their basement.
Cute, cute, cute, cute, and cute. I actually really love the . . . whatever that is . . . on the last one. The geometric thingy. I can see it being really useful as a random space-taker-upper.

I think it's a doily! But only because they're everywhere, too. If we go to Archiver's while you're here, I can show you a bunch of other options in case you want to start stamping them all over your pages.
Totally love the typewriter/vintage trend too and also posted about it a little while back. It's funny to think about your point of scrapbookers of the future using Kindles as "vintage" icons on their pages!
