A touch of home: bespoke rubber house stamps for your stationery

Add a personal touch to your stationery, calling cards or gift tags with a bespoke, hand-drawn stamp of your home.

Whether it’s your childhood home, your favourite holiday cottage or  any other place that holds a special meaning to you, designer Holly-Anne Rolfe will turn your picture into a personalised stamp, perfect for new address cards, house warming party invites, wedding invites or general stationery.

Holly-Anne studied illustration at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. “I have been drawing houses and buildings for as long as I can remember”, she said, “my father is an architect so I suppose it must be in the blood.”

“The notion of a house as a ‘Home’ is very important to me. I grew up in a very beautiful Victorian house built in 1881 and feel a very real sense of history and privilege every time I set foot in the door.

“I am currently undertaking a project about the house and in the same project am exploring how objects and design tell us so much about the history of the places we live in and the people that lived there before us.”
