This stamp is not 1 x 1 x 1 inches. The block is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches and the print itself is 2 x 2. Luckily, I had been looking for this particular stamp for awhile and so already knew its real dimensions. As for the stamp itself, I was a little concerned having heard mixed reviews about this line of stamps from Inkadinkado that are supposed to look like pencil drawings. I heard it's hard to get the detail to show up as the picture on the block, but figured I would check one out myself as I collect shell stamps and this one appears quite beautiful. Well, after testing it out about thirty times stamping some plain giftwrap, the mixed reviews are correct. Do not expect to see most of the fine pencil detail. They will appear more like continuous shadow on the darker side of the shell. Luckily, on a stamp of this size, it does not harm the overall effect too much as the giftee won't know there was supposed to be fine pencil detail there and the impression is otherwise clear.

I purchase and use a lot of Inkadinkado stamps -they're consistently high quality and the prices are quite reasonable compared to other brands.I purchased this stamp to use for a special Christmas card for a friend who LOVES lighthouses. By careful coloring (I use Prismacolor pencils), this "beachy" scene can easily become a winter scene. I paired it with this little snowman stamp Inkadinkado Wood Stamp, Snowman -stamped and colored him separately, then fussy-cut him out and mounted him slightly to the right of the lighthouse using dimensional foam tabs so he looks like he's in the foreground. Turned out great! Just what I wanted.
I can also see using this for a lot of other cards, too -encouragement, sympathy, even "thinking of you." Quite versatile!
Very happy with this.
