Learn more about the exciting news about Rubbernecker Becoming Brass & Bliss Craft Co!

Some of you may have seen the announcement about Rubbernecker becoming Brass & Bliss Craft Co. I wanted to share more about this big news and tell you why I am really excited about it.

For 30 years, Rubbernecker Stamps has been a premier go-to shop for gorgeous stamps, dies, stencils, patterned papers and inks. As a family owned business since 1993, Dave and Pat, the founders, have worked hard to make sure that we crafters had amazing products to work with and as their son Rob showed the same insight and creativity, shared running the business with him and his own family.

Everyone felt like it was time for something fresh and new and so, after three decades, say hello to Brass & Bliss! The name may be changing but here’s what is not: the same loving, customer focused and creative family will be at the helm, the company will have the same unwavering commitment to excellence and of course, it will offer the same amazing, high quality and fabulously fun products you’ve grown to love all these years.

So where did the new name come from? Here is the story in their own words and I think it’s just lovely!

“So why did we choose the name “Brass & Bliss”? 

Glad you asked! 

The word Bliss means “Perfect Joy” which we feel adequately describes the crafting-high. We have found that in a world that seems increasingly heavy, crafting is a way to find peace and happiness; it’s also a tangible way to share those feelings with others; pure BLISS!

Using the word Brass was more symbolic in nature. Brass is known for its shiny gold-like appearance and its malleability. It’s a metal that can bend and be shaped without loosing its quality. Also, because of its high copper content, as brass ages it slowly patinas- changing from its shiny golds into deep blues and teals. Being a business with such a rich history and 30 years in the craft industry, we thought this symbolized our transition perfectly. Our ability to bend and change with the times, while not compromising on quality, is an attribute we pride ourselves on. Like Brass, we are the same, but somehow different. As our company ages, its changing from golds to blues, from ‘Rubbernecker’ to ‘Brass & Bliss’! And finally, being the crafty people that we are, we couldn’t pass up being associated with anything shiny and colorful!”

Isn’t that such a great story? 

What’s really nice is that Rob and his wife Beth are going to take on some more of the “heavy lifting” in this new company, giving Dave and Pat a chance to spend a little more time relaxing – they’ve earned it! Here they are – aren’t they adorable? Don’t let their looks fool you though – they are both powerhouses in both creativity and ingenuity!
