A hand stamp that has a frame member that has mounted therein an image forming stamping member. This can be either an ink cartridge or a flexible rubber die. The cartridge has an ink storage layer and an image forming layer with an image thereon. The die is a conventional raised indicia die. There is a ledge surrounding the inside of the frame member that has an adhesive applied to it to hold either the ink cartridge or the rubber die. A bottom tray is snugly yet removably attached to the bottom of the frame. The bottom tray protects the stamping member and has a protruding post that provides for mounting multiple stamps, one on top of another.
