Spooky Ghost & Skull Mini Stamps with Ink Pads

These spooky mini stamps bring a whole cast of ghosts, bats and creepy crawlies to the craft table, with a black ink pad and a red one sitting beside them in their own box. Each foam stamp is cut to the outline of its picture and printed on top with the design it makes, so you can tell at a glance which is the ghost, the skull and crossbones or the vampire in his high collar. Alongside them you will find a coiled snake, a spider, a poison bottle, a clawed hand, a pair of fanged lips, a grinning face, a cracked skull, a little bone and a wobbly Booo in bubble letters. The whole set packs into a black card box printed with the same characters, 14.2cm long, 8.2cm wide and 2.3cm deep.

We like them for homemade cards, gift tags, letters, notebooks and scrapbook pages, or for edging a sheet of plain paper with a creepy border. The red and black inks print neat little pictures, so a skull and a pair of fanged lips can sign off a note, and a spider can scuttle across the corner of an envelope. The box is small enough to keep in a desk drawer or a craft basket, and it makes a small gift for anyone who loves a ghost story.

The stamps are made from foam and TPE plastic, and the ink pads sit in ABS and AS plastic cases with a neutral water-based ink. The whole set weighs 29g, so it travels easily to a friend's kitchen table. Press a stamp gently onto the pad, then firmly onto the paper, and wipe it with a damp cloth before you switch colours so the black and red stay clean. Keep everything back in its box once you have finished, and pair a few stamped cards with a plain envelope for a handmade spooky greeting.
