Inky Antics was founded in 1997 by Jackie Lewis, a middle school teacher from St. Paul, Minnesota, who discovered stamping the previous year and immediately (but willingly) fell under its magical spell.
"I stumbled across rubber stamping while looking for activities I could share with my students during homeroom, but little did I realize that I'd become completely hooked myself!" she recalls. "It allows me to express my artistic side, even though I can't draw at all. There are so many creative possibilities to explore with stamps."
And explore she did. Jackie transformed her love for stamping into a cottage industry--hiring artists, taking care of all the business details, and assembling her products at the kitchen table.
Today, Inky Antics stamps are manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio, under the ownership of Ted Cutts. Jackie works for the company as its Creative Director, and our growing team is proud to continue providing our customers with inspiring designs, high quality stamps, and excellent service.
