In addition to the 39-piece stamp set you will also get a gorgeous DL trellis stencil to make instant backgrounds for your stamped creations.

Try out different ways to use the stencil in our stencil spotlight, and Christina herself shares inspiration both in the magazine and also on video with an exclusive craft tutorial which you can find here.

You’ll find clean and simple ideas, off-the-page projects plus clever techniques to stretch your stamps and your skills in creative ways. Beginner crafters will love our technique feature, with just a basic watercolour palette that won’t stretch your budget.

Simon Hurley’s stamping foam is in the spotlight with our masterclass this month, where you can learn how to make your own textured stamps. We check out the latest contemporary designs from Uniko, plus we take a look stateside at brand-new Colorado Craft Company releases. Visible Image brings the summer with a quintet of sunny day cards, and we have a look at cute canine stamps from My Favorite Things.

Check out our brilliant competitions and giveaways throughout the magazine, including fabulous stamping hauls from Pinkfresh Studio and Hunkydory.

As usual we focus on all the latest stamping trends, colouring and inky ideas in a magazine jam-packed with inspiration for stampers of all abilities.

Happy stamping and I'll be looking out for all your makes on CraftWorld to share on our letters page!
