Cardmaker of the Year 2024: OPEN FOR ENTRIES!

Cardmaker of the Year is back and we could not be more excited! With over £17,000 worth of prizes, you could win a share of this fantastic mega stash stock-up form all your favourite brands including Lawn Fawn, Altenew, CraftStash, Chloe's Creative Cards, Craft's Companion, Spellbinders, Hunkydory and so many more!


But that's not all...

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, Die-cutting Essentials, Creative Stamping and Craft Essential Series!


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 Thursday 6th June 2024
