Colorado Craft Company

So here's the thing about Colorado Craft Company-they're basically the new kids on the block who showed up with decades of experience and immediately started making waves in the stamping world. Founded by designers Amy and Adrienne Kennedy in 2018, this isn't some fly-by-night operation. These folks have 35 years of combined stamping experience between them, and honestly? It shows.

What makes them different is their approach to stamp design. While everyone else is playing it safe, Colorado Craft Company went ahead and created some genuinely unique collections. They offer some unique ranges of stamps - Lovely Legs which feature "cropped" people, Big and Bold which feature super-sized bold images, Whimsy World which feature fun themes and their new range of Savvy Sentiments. The Lovely Legs thing is particularly clever-instead of full-body illustrations, you get just the legs and feet, which sounds weird but actually opens up tons of creative possibilities for card makers.

And they're not just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Colorado Craft Company release new product on the 3rd of every month, which gives crafters something to look forward to regularly without overwhelming them. That's smart business right there.

The company focuses on clear stamps, red rubber stamps, dies, & accessories for cardmaking & scrapbooking, and they're not trying to be everything to everyone. That focus has paid off-they've managed to carve out a distinctive niche in a pretty crowded market. Their customer service seems solid too, with a dedicated phone line and email support during business hours.

What's really interesting is how they've positioned themselves globally. One of the largest suppliers of American craft supplies in the UK and Europe carries their products, which means they're thinking beyond just the US market from the get-go. That's not something you see from every small craft company.
