STAMPSCAPES® Advertising History

Advertising has played a key role in the development of Stampscapes® as a company. The following images chronicle the growth of Stampscapes®. As you may recall, these ads ran in Rubber Stamp Madness, and other major stamping magazines. The text and images of the advertisements are reproduced to serve as both samples of Stampscapes® artwork, and as a fond recollection of our growth. The stunning advertisements are presented in chronological order. Color advertisements begin with "Vacation's Over."
Some of these files are rather large...please be patient while the graphic files download.
