Cardmaker of the Year 2023: OPEN FOR ENTRIES!

Massive prize package!

Cardmaker of the Year is back with a BANG! With over £21,000 worth of prizes, you could win a stash so big you'll be crafting mad for years to come. All your favourite brands have joined us this year, including Lawn Fawn, Sentimentally Yours, Hunkydory, Colorado Craft Company, Craftstash, STABILO, Tonic Studios and Stamps By Me to name only a few!

Winning prizes just isn't enough though, right?
Four lucky winners will also bag themselves a spot on the Papercraft Magazines Design Team, meaning they’ll be commissioned to create projects for Simply Cards & Papercraft, Papercraft Essentials, Die-cutting Essentials and Creative Stamping! PLUS six runners-up will go onto a public vote on CraftWorld, where they will guest edit the CraftWorld magazine!

How to Enter

To enter this prestigious competition, we’d like you to create three projects – two cards and one other papercrafting project, to show off your creativity and originality. The third project can be a scrapbook page, a mini book or any other off-the-page item, but remember strictly no cards for that third item.

We’re looking for designers who can show a multitude of papercrafting talents, and remember that every single past winner never dreamed that they would be successful in this competition so don’t be shy – this year it could be you!

Closing date is the 25th April
