Favorite Go To Stamps: Linda’s View
Finished Card Size: 4.25″ x 5.5″ Picking a very favorite stamp is very difficult, if not impossible, for an addicted stamper. We like all kinds of different techniques, and different techniques require different types of stamps. Having said that, however, I do have a favorite genre in rubber stamping, which I always turn to when [...]

Fall Is In the Air
September is here, and fall is in the air. Autumn, starting with what we call Indian Summer is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the changing of the seasons, with the beautiful fall colors and gorgeous sunsets. All over the world children and adults are going back to school, and [...]
Happy Anniversary, Stamper’s Quest
July 2011 marks the third anniversary of our on-line magazine, Stamper’s Quest. I thought it was fitting to do an anniversary card to honor all the designers, past and present, guest designers, advertisers, and friends, who have contributed to the success of this venture. We also want to honor all our readers, without whom there [...]
June! Already?? Wow!
It’s hard for me to believe the year is almost half over. It seems like just a couple of months ago I was putting away the holiday decorations in anticipation of a new year. June marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. Kids get out of school, young adults graduate from high schools [...]

Our Day in Boston Photo Card
This was a fun card to create. I had a friend visiting me from Pennsylvania and she had never seen Boston so we went into town by subway (a new experience for her) and walked around the Common and the nearby historic sights. Then we headed to the Public Gardens and the famous Swan Boats. [...]
ATC Transformers: Landscapes
Finished Card size 5.5″ x 8.5″ Fits an A9 Envelope I have to be totally honest and tell you that when I first saw the theme for this month, “ATC Transformers”, I didn’t even know what it meant. Being a new designer and all, I didn’t want to expose my ignorance right away, so I did [...]
Reflections: Chief Seattle
Finished Card Size: 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Fits in A9 envelope; 5.75″ x 8.75″) When I first started thinking about the theme of “Reflections” I immediately came up with the two most common definitions: (1) the giving back of an image or likeness, as in mirrored; and (2) the fixing of the mind on some subject, [...]

Custom Wrapping Paper
By: Stephanie Loomis, Artistic Guide and Editor-in-Chief Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It’s the mantra of California living, and is spreading around the US. My brother and sister-in-law are the poster couple for green living (they live in Los Angeles, so it works.) They are expecting their first baby soon, so, rather than wrap a baby gift [...]
Stamping on Photographs – Part II
By: Linda Selymes, Artistic Guide Hi again, dear reader. The first thing I want to do today is fix the little mistake on one of the scenes I already showed you. Here is the one I’m talking about. There’s a little bit of black ink in the upper left corner. I could make a lot worse [...]
Stamping on Photographs – Part I
By: Linda Selymes, Artistic Guide I love beautiful pictures, paintings, and photographs, especially those of landscapes. I love mountains, water, skies, fields of wild flowers….I love it all! That is probably why I was so drawn to scenic stamping when I first saw it. And since I don’t draw very well, I was thrilled by [...]
