Alaska Mission For Christ Card Contest winners are...


We have a TIE! 

The card from the bear on ice #6 and the card from bear standing #1 were tied with the most points from the votes.

Ice 6 was made by Denise Clark, she used our shaker box template and made a fun shakere box using white and blue seed beads over the bear on ice stamp and accented with 1 Corinthians 13:7 



and Stand 1 was made by Jeanette Waters with our bear standing stamp and a sunrise behind the bear, I believe accented with colored pencils. John 1:1 is the verse above the sunrise.

Congratulations to both winners!

Card Contest is FULL!


Our contest is now full with 10 participants! I can't wait to see the awesome cards you will be making!

Here is a card as a sample to show you what I am asking for in this contest. The bear is stamped on cream paper, and I colored the ice block with tombow markers (still on sale!) Image cut out and pop-dotted onto the green paper. Bible verse I found at Blue Letter Bible by typing in "bear" in their search. You could do any background technique on your cards, I just chose a plain background, just remember you can only use the bear stamp and no other stamps. This
 challenge will stretch you a bit :)

Here is another card I made, using distress inks on craft colored paper, stamping the bear in black distress and another printed out bible passage.  Im going to redo the bear and pop dot it cuz he looks a bit lost in the background.

Ideas for future contests are most welcome and encouraged :)

Card Contest! Sign up now!


Here is how the contest will work: (note this is a religious card contest). For each stamp you receive (up to 2), you must make 2 totally different cards. You can only use the stamp I give you (unmounted rubber) and no other stamps. You can use any technique or accessory you wish. Full cards please, not just fronts. Envelopes not needed. Card size is up to you but no ATC's. You must use a bible verse on the card front, printed by hand or printed from computer, but not a stamp. 
Stamps can be seen here: Alaska Mission For Christ stamps
on the web page, and they are all shown here. (I have more drawings for this category but they are not in rubber yet and aren't part of the contest stamps.)  Suggestions for stamps for the mission are greatly appreciated, especially word/phrase stamps!
Cost to enter the contest is $1.00 if you want 1 stamp or $2.00 if you want 2 stamps. The stamps are then
 yours to keep, but you must snail mail me the cards, no emailing of cards. This low fee is to help with postage and weed out those who just want free stamps. I've done this in the past and had no problems. Th
e $1 or $2 must be snail mailed, no paypal or credit card. Cash hidden in a layer of paper works fine. 

Email me privately please to join up, don't post on here cuz I may not see it right away. Tell your stamping friends!

I will be donating $1.00 per card received to the Alaska Mission for Christ, and the winning card creator (chosen by a vote and not me, and a randomizer if there is a tie) will receive a $30 gift certificate good towards anything that I sell and have instock on my web page.

Holler if questions, email me privately please (cowtown@cowtownstamps.com) to join.
