they look like they're possibly by the same artist as House Mouse...... and I believe the HM ones have a very, very strict policy about using them (non-Angel) which I only discovered after buying a number of them -- so they hardly ever get used now

These new ones are really cute, but assuming the policy is the same I doubt I'll be buying any -- they're way too expensive for a "use once" stamp

You're right, Cheryl. On the Stampabilities website it says:
GruffiesTM rubber stamps can not be used on items that will be re-sold.

well in that case i am very glad that i mentioned it on here before i bought any and wasted my money

thanks girls for telling us all

They are gorgeous stamps (the HM ones too), but if you want to use them on cards you want to sell, then the cards must be sold at cost not for profit. That means you can incorporate the cost of your card, paper, embellishments, and your 'time' for designing and making (I imagine within reason!!!).

I bought one the other day.....it's a bear and a pandabear sat in the penalty box with their ice hockey sticks as I'm addicted to ice hockey. I sell the cards i make and I always check first with the companies that produce them to see if they have an angel policy. With the stampabilities HM, gruffies etc....you can sell them but only at cost. So I figure if it takes me an hour to make one surely that's £5. 5o odd....whatever minimum wage is so if i sell the card for 2-3 quid, by the time i've used my time to make the card, my watercolour pencils, cardstock ribbon etc....then I am not selling them for a profit.....I plan on buying some more as soon as I have a job again as these are sooooo cute that I can't resist.

OKAY - despite my earlier post - they are too cute to resist so i went ahead & ordered - They've just this second arrived & they are sooo cute..off now to have a play! xxx

I was resisting due to the usage policy, but my niece's 2nd birthday is coming up this summer, and she is obsessed with pandas, so I had to get the cute panda with the pile of presents to make her card. *grin*

Here's my first Gruffie card. for some reason the colouring looks blotchy in this pic - its not like that in real life!!?? The cake is smothered in doodlebug sugar coating & looks yummy xxx

Arnt they gorgeous stamps, I just love the faces, noses and mouths on these stamps for some reason, and the house mouse ones too...........I guess that makes me just a little weird

He's lovely - what did you use to colour him?

Thank you I used watercolour inktense pencils, and the clear Sakura glaze for the chrome on the bike, but the photo doesn't really pick it up (it's nice and shiny)
