If you don’t mind the time and want to give stamp making a try…
I came across on Pinterest an article about making your own stamps using linoleum block and cutter so I thought I might share this with you if you prefer to make your own stamps rather than shop with me. (sniff sniff)
I kid. The process itself takes a bit of time so the value of making your own stamps vs. buying is entirely up to you. 
At least this is one way of researching your products before you buy. A wise thing to do!

All my wood mounts made with reclaimed wood or dowels. How BRILLIANT!
