Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!
Hello, stamping friends! Aimee here. I just wanted to share with you the recent cover of Rubber Stamp Madness magazine that features two Lost Coast Designs Yoga Cat stamps and the Brush Strokes stamps.
If you're not familiar with this magazine, let me introduce you! It's published quarterly and is a great place to get your creations put into print for all to see. You can learn more about the magazine HERE.
Since 2017, I've had my submissions published in every issue. This is my 7th cover! What I love about the magazine is that they welcome submissions that include stamps from any company, even those stamps in your stash that are unidentified. Each issue features two challenge themes, and when I submit a cover, I like to try to incorporate both themes into my art. You can read about upcoming challenges on the Rubber Stamp Madness website.
One challenge due in September is "Say It With Stamps." The magazine is looking for creations with clever sentiments. There are SO MANY perfect options for this using Carmen's Veranda stamps! If you're interested in submititing one of your creations that includes a fun sentiment, the deadline is September 5. They ask that the size not exceed 5 x 6.5 inches (though I think they make exceptions). You can mail it to: Rubber Stamp Madness, PO Box 610, Corvallis, OR 97339. If it's difficult to mail, you can email a JPEG image to graphics@rsmadness.com.
The magazine is really fun to read because you learn about the stamper and their inspiration behind the submission. There are articles that provide tips to stamping techniques and information on where to buy stamps or attend conventions.
I must admit, it totally makes my day when I hear one of my submissions has been selected for publication! I'd love to see you feel that same kind of happiness. Give it a go! The first step in getting published is submitting.
