Micheals stores carry $1 rubber stamps. They are usually in a bin in the front of the store. I have not seen Christmas ones at my store yet but they did have Halloween so I am assuming they will have Christmas ones. I actually think they are of pretty good quality. I've used some of mine many times and they seem to be holding up well.
got almost 100 stamps for $15 at a garage sale. if you look at the back of rubber stamp magazines you will find ads for people selling stamps etc. printers usually have bits and pieces of paper that they will sell by the pound. good luck, it is an addictive hobby.
Remember that you get the quality that you pay for. That said, you can make some nice images with the potato idea, also an apple or sponge cut into the desired shape. Try a thrift store, a dollar store, or eBay.
I saw something where you took a potato and used a cookie cutter to make the shape of the stamp and then cut the rest off....other wise try the $1.00 store or big lots
