Abstract: A stamping device is provided for imprinting inked images onto an external object. The stamping device includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a passageway therebetween. An image nib is attached to the second end of the housing and has an outwardly projecting face portion with at least one raised image formed thereon. An absorbent transfer medium or insert member is disposed within the passageway of the housing in adjacent relationship with respect to the image nib. In use, the passageway is adapted to receive a marking nib of a writing instrument, such as a marker, at the first end of the housing. When the marking nib of the writing instrument is inserted into the passageway, ink flows from the writing instrument to the absorbent insert member and then to the image nib.
