Poor Tired Santa Kitty!

Have you seen Stampendous' Curios? They are wooden sculptures that are also rubber stamps! Pretty nifty, eh? The latest release features five new holiday-themed Curios, which can make fantastic gifts!

Here's what Stampendous has to say about their Curios: 

"Our CURIO rubber stamps are back with five new images for the Christmas season. These adorable, hardwood stamps stand on their own and look so decorative in your studio or crafting space. On the back, each one has a deeply-etched, closely-trimmed, high-quality rubber stamp that will give you a Stampendous impression every time."
