When I send credits I don't understand what having the credits on the back of the card has to do with mailing it. I type the stamp credits on a 1x3 self adhesive mailing label and stick it in the very center of the back of a greeting card with my VSA stamp below it and below that, a stamp that says, A note from Darlene. I put the label in the upper left corner of a postcard where you'll find the description on a commercial scenic card. > And stamp my vsa stamp where the postage stamp would go...and stamp my "note from Darlene" down the center that separates message and address.

Difficult!! because when I used to do this or send an insert, I was unhappy knowing that the reciever could take the credits off. And I don't want you to take them off. I feel strongly that every artist has a right to recognition including the artists who design rubber stamps. Unfortunately, all we are usually told is the company that sells them, but we can at least do homage to that artist by telling others who admire her work where they can purchase the stamp. Which is why I am disappointed to get a card without credits. No matter where the cards I create go for the rest of their lives, I want the stamp credits on there, so I try to put them on in such a way that you can't remove them without ruining the card.
