Issue 122 of Creative Stamping has a tea-rrific set of themed stamps! It’s a mouth-watering 38-piece stamp bundle featuring a 10-piece layering teacup set from Crafter’s Companion. As I'm a big fan of tea and cake, I can certify that this issue’s amazing projects from our talented Design Team are good enough to eat!

We have delicious inspiration from Lorraine Lowe, with incredible masking and colouring techniques. In our stretch your stash feature, I have dug out my doilies, paper roses and pearls for some vintage tea-room ideas. Sarah Jackman Read has gorgeous makes for women. For masculine makes, Mel Jess raises the bar with an amazing trio of shaped cards.
Vanessa’s off-the-page inspiration on page 52 is quite delicious, with elegant stamping and decorative ideas to try. But if it’s clean and simple that inspires you, look no further than Monika Weclewska’s marvellous makes.

Teresa Morgan’s masterclass stretches your embossing folders with heat-embossed letterpress ideas for beautiful backgrounds. Another must-try technique is featured on page 38, with blackout colouring inspiration. We have a new product focus from John Lockwood, also known as John Next Door, who clearly has the Midas touch with new Craft Artist Gold Fusion inks. We showcase brand-new releases from Alpaca Pals, Crafter’s Companion, Stamps By Me and Alex Syberia Designs, always bringing you the latest on-trend inspiration. You’ll also find fabulous competitions, giveaways and discounts throughout the magazine. Don’t forget to hop over to our ever-expanding readers’ gallery where you can share your makes with us!

Happy stamping!
Nicky
