Additional
Helpful Information
While The Stampers' Sampler will include manufacturer's credits for rubber stamps and other art materials if specified by the artist, we cannot guarantee that all credits will be included. The Stampers' Sampler seeks first to publish as much artwork as possible, within the limited number of pages that the magazine allows. Our emphasis is on rubber stamping and we must first provide our readers with that information. Sample instructions and credits are provided for the purpose of helping our readers obtain resource and instructional information on published artwork and are edited as needed.
We
encourage article queries in the form of letters or email. Please send
your submissions to the address above or E-mail sameditor@stampington.com.
If your idea is accepted youll be contacted with additional article
specifications.
All
artwork submitted to The Stampers' Sampler may be considered
for publication in any of our magazines or special publications. This
includes, but is not limited to: Take Ten, Catch Up, Somerset Studio,
Gallery, Legacy, Art Doll Quarterly, Belle Armoire, or Salon.
All
published and unpublished submissions that do not have return postage
will be donated. Charities that have received card donations from Stampington & Company include: Progress Industries, Operation We Care, Keiki Cards, Laura’s House, Treat the Troops, Soldiers Angels, Camp Courageous of Iowa, House of Hope, Junior League, and SOS America. If you know
a special organization that would like to receive this artwork please
drop us a line at sameditor@stampington.com
with the name of the charity, phone number, e-mail address, and a contact

Due
to the unusual production of The Stampers' Sampler we may hold
artwork for an unspecified time until it can be published. We gratefully
acknowledge your patience while we assemble and create the pages of
this unique publication.
If
you are published in a bi-monthly issue you will receive notification
via postcard. This voucher entitles you to a complimentary issue or
you may extend your subscription by an issue. If you have been published
in Take Ten or the annual Catch Up issue you will receive
a complimentary copy as the magazine is released on newsstands.

Not sure
how you should label and attach your personal information and
instructions to a card submission? Take a look at this sample
card submitted by one of our readers. Notice all credits and supplies
are clearly listed. Her name and contact information is attached
via a sticker (won't come off or be lost!), and it all fits cleanly
to the back of the card. Artists following this profile will ensure
proper credit for both their work and stamps. Please note that
instructions that are bulky or larger than the piece of art must
be removed during photography.
