Hi! My name is Holly McGuire and I'm the Big Cheese here at Two Cheese Please.


By day I'm a mild-mannered bus driver but by night I'm an avid crafter! Here you'll find some of the quirky things I've made - custom plush, needle felted sculptures and hand-carved stamps just to name a few!

I use eco-friendly and recycled materials whenever I can. I have recently switched from using polyfil to fleece, sourced locally. This means that all my plush not only feel better (springier, softer, and with a better weight to them), but you can be assured that your plush is filled not only with love but with a renewable resource, and you are helping local farmers! I also try to reuse and recycle like-new shipping packaging where I can, but let me know if you prefer a brand new box.

All the stamps you see here are my designs, and as such are copyrighted and for personal use only. If you would like to use them for anything other than personal use (ie: anything that is to be sold), please contact me to discuss. I support cottage industries and in most cases will grant permission as long as credit is given to my designs (ie: mentioning my name/shop in your listing).
Stamps designed exclusively for you (ie: logos) will carry a small additional fee. If your stamp design is provided and designed by you, you will retain the copyright and are of course free to use it as you will :)

[CARING FOR YOUR HAND-CARVED STAMPS]
♥ After each use remember to clean your stamp as soon as you can.
♥ Run them under the tap (faucet) under warm water, then blot them on a serviette (napkin – now you can learn Aussie terms too!). If ink prints off, wash them again and stamp on the serviette some more, repeat until no more ink comes off.
♥ NEVER RUB ACROSS THE SURFACE OF YOUR STAMP! This can break off details.
♥ If you use a strong colour like black or red, sometimes the ink will stain your stamp. Don’t worry – if you clean it properly it won’t transfer the next time you use it, just the rubber will be stained. It’s the sign of a well-used stamp! :)
♥ Leave on a clean dry serviette to dry, then store your stamps in an air-tight container with the carving facing up.
♥ If you follow these steps your stamps should last a long time!
