Peachy Keen Stamps

Peachy Keen Stamps feature the incredible art of Kathy Jackopovich, the artist and president of this family company.  Although all of Kathy's images are darling, her unique face stamps have the industry buzzing.  As personal die cut machines explode in popularity, her variety of faces make their way onto art desks as the perfect complement to paper piecing.

These adorable faces add the perfect touch to anything from dolls to marshmallows  leaping out of  a cup of hot cocoa.  Not sure what size face to order for your projects?  No worries.  The Peachy Keen Stamps website offers a size chart or you can call for exceptional customer service.
