Whenever I feel creatively stuck, I find it’s helpful to go back to what started my love of crafting and creating things. Even before I could write, I would go through stacks of copy paper making “cards” for anyone and everyone I knew. Most featured indecipherable scribbles, but the sentiment was there. As I got older, I kept making cards, mainly for my parents and grandparents, but started using magazine images and stickers in place of doodles. Once I met my future mother-in-law, an avid rubber stamper, I began adding stamps to my cards too. 

So, when I recently felt like making something but came up short on ideas, I decided to keep things simple and make some cards. I’ve been trying to do more “analog” things this year, including surprising friends and loved ones with cards or letters in the mail. Who doesn’t love getting mail that isn’t a bill or advertisement? 

 As I was walking through our office, my eyes landed on photo transparencies that I thought would work perfectly as the main images for my greetings. To make the images “pop,” I used gel medium to adhere them to white cardstock and trimmed the excess paper. I sorted through my paper scraps and found some that complemented the transparencies well, including some from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Worn Wallpaper Scraps collection. I arranged the paper scraps and transparency on my cards, and once I was happy with the arrangement, I took a quick photo with my phone so I could refer back to the layout. I then glued everything down and finished each card with dried greenery and a few strips of wash tape. These couldn’t be easier, and I couldn’t be happier with how they came out.

Ready to begin? Here is where you can find our Submission Guidelines.

How do I change my address?

Our subscriptions ship directly from our printer in Wisconsin. For this reason, we need to be notified of your change of address at least two months before the next issue comes out, or it will be sent to the address we had on file and provided to our printer at the time it was due.

How to Notify Us About Your Change of Address
  1. Email the following to customerservice@stampington.com:
  • The publication(s) you subscribe to
  • Your name and new address
  • Your old address

2. Call to inform us of your new mailing address:

  • Toll-Free: 1-877-782-6737 or International: 1-949-380-7318
Mail Forwarded by the Post Office

If you forward mail to your new address through the Post Office, it won't apply to periodicals/your magazine subscription unfortunately. Also, since mail forwarding only lasts for a short time-frame, we request that you still notify us of your address change to prevent any service interruption to your subscription.

Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for replacing "lost" issues from your subscription, if we did not receive your change of address request at least two months prior to your next issue's release date.

What if one of my issues doesn't arrive?

Subscription issues should arrive within the first week of the month your publication is released. Please add up to two weeks for international delivery.

If your magazine has not arrived by the 20th of the month, please contact our customer service department, so we can check to make sure nothing is amiss with your subscription, and see if you're eligible for a replacement copy. International subscribers can receive a digital version of the magazine as a replacement if one attempt has already been made to deliver the print edition to you.

Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for postal delays or circumstances outside of our control, but we will make every effort to make it right.

What does shipping cost?

We offer FREE shipping on all magazine subscriptions and instant download purchases to our customers. You can also take advantage of free U.S. shipping on select pre-orders of your favorite magazines (discounted International rates will apply). Browse our selection of Pre-Orders With Free U.S. Shipping here.

What are my shipping charges?
Shipping charges are calculated by weight, shipping destination, and speed. You will be able to choose the best delivery method for your needs at checkout.
