About Us

Crafting is soul therapy that feeds creative hearts.

At Honey Bee Stamps, we celebrate and support your creative journey by bringing you only the sweetest, highest-quality goods and supplies for your next project.

We are a small, family-owned business that opened in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in April 2015. Owner Melissa Elliott dreamed for years of designing her own craft line that would combine her career as a graphic designer with her love of paper crafts—and Honey Bee took flight!

Our standards were set high from the very beginning. We design and manufacture our original stamps from the highest-quality photopolymer so that crafting with them is a delight from the first impression. We offer 100% steel dies, paper pads, stencils, and embellishments. Our innovative products get the job done right, but most importantly, they're fun and easy to use. We believe great crafting tools should bring you plenty of joy, inspiration, and encouragement to keep creating.

The Honey Bee Name and Philosophy

Melissa chose the name in memory and honor of her dad (aka: her biggest fan) because she was his little Honey Bee. (Fun fact: the name Melissa means "honey bee" in Greek). Our company is a reflection of the creative passion and entrepreneurial spirit that he instilled in her. Whether we're designing a new stamp or packaging your order by hand, we do it with lots of love and care in hopes that you, too, will be inspired to chase your creative dreams.
