Creative Stamping 107- on sale now!

Welcome to issue 107 of Creative Stamping. This is a milestone issue for me – my 50th as Editor, and I am just as excited about bringing this one to you as I was with my very first mag, issue 57, way back in 2018!

Equally thrilling is the fact that we have teamed up once again with Sara Davies and Crafter’s Companion, bringing you a fabulous collection of French-inspired stamps, perfect for shabby chic and contemporary creations alike. If that’s not enough, we have an exclusive Crafter’s Companion embossing folder, offering perfect backgrounds for your makes.

We kick-start this inspiration-packed issue with expert advice on creating collages from Jane Royston in stamping style on page 8. Ingrid Vichova shares brilliant techniques using the embossing folder on page 16. There are chic home décor ideas from Vanessa Hodgson on page 62, or stretch your stamps and bring in some of your crafty stash for masculine makes with Teresa Morgan on page 44. You’ll find even more creative ideas for your stamps and stencil throughout the magazine with no fewer than 31 inspiring projects!

We’re keeping the continental theme going with a masterclass in faux cloisonné – a French term for a very creative technique with your stamps; turn to page 20 to find out more. In this issue, we also take a closer look at a French stamping company, Chou and Flowers, whose creative ideas have a definite je ne sais quoi!
We catch up with crafting celebrity Sara Davies, and you can win the very latest Sara Signature collection in our exclusive giveaway on page 28. You’ll also find brand-new releases from Chloe’s Creative Cards, Marianne Design, Pretty Gets Gritty and more.

We have over £24,000 of crafty prizes up for grabs in our Cardmaker of the
Year competition on page 30. As well as a coveted spot on our Design Team, the four winners will also get a behind-the-scenes visit to Practical Publishing – who knows which crafting celebrities might be lurking behind a door?! Don’t miss out – see what two of last year’s winners have to say on page 32.
