Themes
& Deadlines
You can submit art on any issue themes (below) for consideration
for the Cover
or any Centerfold Gallery
in RubberStampMadness.
Cover
art can be larger, but in all cases, refer to the guidelines
below.
April 20, 2006: Gratitude
and Trick or Treat:
Before you know it, autumn will be knocking on our door, so
for the September/October 2006 issue, we have two themes to
fire your imagination: Gratitude
and Trick or Treat.
For the former, just let us know — with rubber stamped
art, of course — for what or to whom you are grateful.
Think of friends, family, strangers, places and events, then
make art. Just about everyone loves Halloween, so a Trick
or Treat theme for you should
be sweet on ideas. Spooky houses, witches, jack o’ lanterns,
candy, black cats — just about any Halloween motif will
do. Be sure to remember that April 20 deadline, and be sure
to include your stamp credits with each submission of art.
June 20, 2006: Paper Dolls
and Holidays.
Our crystal ball for forecasting ideas for the concluding
weeks of the year says Paper Dolls
will be one innovative theme, for our November/December 2006
issue. Stamp your doll or dolls, go with mixed-media accents
(if desired), dress up your dolls, and let us see the results.
Just mail them to us for consideration. The second theme for
the year-ending issue is — tah-dah! —
Holidays. Yes, Christmas and
other November/December celebrations are some time away, so
write down that June 20 deadline for stamp art on both themes,
Paper Dolls
and Holidays.
Again, be sure to include your stamp credits with each submission
of art.

Guidelines
All submissions should have some rubber
stamp imagery. With each card, please list the stamp credits
used on that card. Instructions for making the card are not
needed with the submission.
Submit up to four entries per theme. Artwork is returned when
accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE). If
submitting for more than one theme, please include an SASE
for each theme.
Always include your name, postal address and telephone number
or e-mail address on the back of each submission. Submissions
can be original artwork, slides, photographs, color photocopies
or color prints.
Cover Art
This is your opportunity to get your artwork on the cover
of RubberStampMadness and receive big bucks - US$200!
Sizing Option 1: Cover art can be 8 5/8 inches wide
by 11 1/2 inches high (22 by 29 cm). This size assumes the
artwork fills the whole cover. About 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) will
be trimmed off the edges. Please leave a blank space somewhere
for information about what's inside the issue. Try not to
put any of your favorite images in one of the lower corners
of the cover, where a store pricing symbol will be placed.
Refer to any recent issue for layout guidance.
Sizing Option 2: Cover art can be sized the same
as Option 1, but the artwork fills the whole cover and no
space allowance by you is necessary for text on the cover.
About 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) will be trimmed off the edges. Again,
try not to put any cool images in the lower corners, where
a store pricing symbol will be placed. About 1 3/4 inches
(4.5 cm) at the top of the page will be overlaid with our
logo. Refer to any recent issue for layout guidance.
Centerfold Art
Centerfold submissions should be no larger than 5 inches (12.7
cm) by 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm). All submissions are subject
to reduction. Centerfold art can be highly dimensional and
include embossing, embellishments, glitter, laminates, layering
and other mixed-media enhancement.
