What a gem! I use to scrapbook so I still love coming into places like this. I love seeing the creativity they display and as you walk back into the store they have workshops and seating to do projects. I picked up a few items that I have never seen before for Day of the Dead and Christmas. I did asked about an idea I had for envelopes for my Christmas cards and the sales associate was very helpful with her ideas and tips.

This is a self explanatory store. They have all the items needed for stamp art. I picked up a couple of nice pieces. It has a large selection and you can find pretty much anything.

Love this place! I have been here a handfull of times, not only for shopping but for classes too, and they have a great selection of stamps and craft products. Debbie(owner) is super nice, and if she doesn’t have something in stock, she’ll order it if it’s available. Love this store. :)

I have since revisited the store several times and I would be remiss if I didn’t update my rant. Debbie the owner has been friendly and helpful ever since I asked nicely. I suppose with the amount of lookie loos or window shoppers in Old Town I can relate to the lack of enthusiasm.

I had come here in 2007 and liked the store so I decided to come back this trip. I always forget how long it takes to get here and didn’t know I would hit a lot of construction on the way here but once I got here I found it to be the same nice store I remembered with the same nice owner/clerk. She has a great selection but because I didn’t need much it turned out she didn’t have the few items I was looking for. I was still glad I got to go here and look around and I did buy one item I’d been wanting to try. The parking is a problem as it is in such a popular tourist area the street parking is at a premium. I discovered a parking garage that waas only about a block to walk to the store(though it took me two blocks since I got turned around – haha!).

I took an collage class here once, and really loved the store. If you are looking for that rare stamp and don’t want to buy online, check this place out. This is a mom and pop shop that specializes in all things crafty — special glues, pens, stencils, ribbons, papers and stamps. The way the room in layed out, it will take awhile to see everything, but I think it was set up that way on purpose. Also, if you take a class, you get 10% off your purchases on the day of the class. I find that«crafters» treat the topic like a secret club, so I could understand Meredith S’ frustration at the shop. The owner and others in the class didn’t give me warm fuzzies either, but I am one of those resilient freaks that can still enjoy myself when I’m not part of the club.

I am an artist… not so familiar with stamps. The owner was EXTREMELY unfriendly and unhelpful. Including eye rolling(on asking a question about the ATC group) and lots of pointing to where I could find items vs showing. I asked if I could go behind the counter to look at a project for an upcoming class and was told, «NO!» It was so odd, I asked her if she was joking? She said, «no, this is my space.» Never offered to take the item down to put on the counter so I could see… didn’t matter. I had already decided that an art environment is to be fun and inspiring… not a place to get yelled at. I will always drive to Mystic Paper in Mesa or the Paper Store for a better atmosphere… better classes and prices!

Simply put, one of *the* best rubber stamp stores in the U.S. I have yet to ever walk out of this store empty handed. Debbie(The owner) not only is extremely friendly and helpful but also she’s got taste in what she orders. You want art stamps? You want the newest and best? Go here.

If you are a mixed media artist don’t let the word stamper in the store name keep you away from Frenzy Stamper! I love, love, love this store! Not only does it have all the greatest paper art crafting lines, it offers great swaps, and attracts local artists as well as big names to teach classes! Debby the store owner is friendly and helpful. If you’ve not been to check out Frenzy you need to go NOW! You won’t be sorry.

Frenzy Stamper is a crafter’s dream come true. They have tons of rubber stamps, book binding goods, paper and other artist’s goods. They have a decent size studio area where they hold a variety of classes. They also have weekly ATC(artist trading card) swaps and chunky book swaps. I highly recommend both swaps if you are into that sort of thing! Frenzy Stamper is locally owned by a nice woman named Debbie who will special order items if you like. She always has the latest new, fun stuff to try out. Frenzy loses a star because I have found that other mom and pops have the same item for cheaper(Paper Studio) as well as the fact that there is SO much merchandise, sometimes it is overwhelming. Having product on the floor is unacceptable to me.
