Rubber stamping encourages us to sing, to dream, to hope!
Come sing, dream and hope with RSM this year.
Since1979, RSM has been singing stamping's praises, dreaming about new opportunities and hoping to keep serving the rubber stamp industry. In the early days, there were no stamp stores,
no Internet and no way to know how far stamping would reach. Now stampers and stamp stores can be found around the globe. The industry has proved its staying power.
RSM provides stampers and paper crafters with fun-filled and idea-filled issues all year long.

"I advertise Guadalupe's Fun Rubber Stamps.
Sometimes I'm not sure if it works or not. A gentleman from England walked into the store one day. He'd been sent by his
wife, who didn't make the trip with him. She had taken her back copies of RSM and given him a list of stamp stores to stop at while he was on tour. Guadalupe's was on the list. Some of our stamps made their way back to England."
—Lee Kellogg, store owner
"There's a woman in Colorado who wrote to me after the Monster Mash issue came out, saying she was trying to collect every image I'd used. Every time she'd find one, she'd write to me and say she'd gotten another one and they were piling up on her couch. I used to do this all the time and a lot of stampers still do . . . you see something in RSM and you immediately want to buy every image."
—Diana Sample, cover artist
