Pre-order
Estimated dispatch: August 2026. Orders ship once stock arrives.
A tall rubber stamp from the original Hide and Seek collection, showing the little elf ascending by balloon: optimistic, upward, light.
Balloon travel is inherently optimistic, and this stamp captures that quality in TWO BLACK CIRCLES' characteristic style. At 20 × 40 mm, the tall narrow format suits the subject: the elf looking up, the balloon above, the composition naturally vertical. Made in Japan, MDF white-coated handle.
From the Vol.1 release. Works well alongside the New Journey stamp for a travel-themed narrative spread.
Example use cases
- Use as a vertical accent in a journal spread alongside the New Journey stamp
- Stamp on the inside of a card for a cheerful illustrated surprise
- Add to planner pages as an uplifting decorative accent
- Build a full Vol.1 Hide and Seek spread with this and other series stamps
The details
- MDF handle with white coating / Rubber
- 20 × 40 × 25 mm
- Made in Japan
About TWO BLACK CIRCLES
Founded in 2012 by Hong Kong illustrator Pan Li, TWO BLACK CIRCLES is a design studio dedicated to integrating personal observations and hand-drawn illustrations into stationery. The name playfully refers to the "dark circles" of a hard-working creator. TWO BLACK CIRCLES focuses on producing high quality wooden stamps, PET tapes and various journaling accessories that bring users to the whimsical fairy tale inspired by "The Elves and The Shoemaker" by the Brothers Grimm.
