Here is a little description about Spesch Designer Stamps:
"Spesch Stamps was started in March 2010. I wanted to have my 'own' stamps designed for me.
I wanted to tell someone what I wanted and they did it for me - so Spesch Designer Stamps was born.
We specialize in digital stamps but have branched out in to Clear Polymer stamps and soon to have Rubber which everyone has been wanting.
Our style is more Manga/Chibi style but we have a new designer aboard - Sylvia - who has the most amazingly cute Fantasy designs that I just love.
We are based in Australia. We have one retailer outside of Australia and that is Paper Jewels in Canada but hoping to have more soon."

Here is a little description on Spesch Designer Stamps:
"Spesch Stamps was started in March 2010. I wanted to have my 'own' stamps designed for me.
I wanted to tell someone what I wanted and they did it for me - so Spesch Designer Stamps was born.
We specialize in digital stamps but have branched out in to Clear Polymer stamps and soon to have Rubber which everyone has been wanting.
Our style is more Manga/Chibi style but we have a new designer aboard - Sylvia - who has the most amazingly cute Fantasy designs that I just love.
We are based in Australia. We have one retailer outside of Australia and that is Paper Jewels in Canada but hoping to have more soon."
