A stamp, especially for embossing or cutting out, with a plate having a top surface and a base surface opposite to the top surface, as well as an edge surface connecting the top surface and the base surface. The plate features at least one handle and has at least one projection protruding from the base surface and/or at least one indentation protruding into the base surface. In order to provide a stamp that can be stored in a space-saving way when not in use on the one hand and that is easy to handle when used on the other hand, the proposition is that the handle is mounted to the plate with an articulated connection and can be moved from a neutral to a usage position and vice versa.
