Every issue of RSM includes an Upcoming Events column which includes details on stamp conventions, retreats, and crops. In the Fall issue, there’s a report on this year’s Kewpie Konvention held in Branson, Missouri. Longtime stamper Eleanor Waladkewics taught a class to 37 “newbies.” Each one made Halloween cards that included Kewpies—of course!
Each issue of RubberStampMadness includes stories for, by, and about, stampers. Plenty of stamp art is featured, along with information on how each piece was created. Stampers are encouraged to send in artwork for upcoming issues. Information about how to do this can be found on the Submit Art page.
