Creative Stamping 124 on sale 20th July 2023

The sun is shining and if, like me, you really want to be by the sea right now, dipping your toes in the water, then you’ll love issue 124 of Creative Stamping. With this Summer Vibes stamp set, featuring Colorado Craft Company, we’re definitely getting that summer holiday feeling!

For starters, Vanessa Hodgson creates gorgeous scenic cards, each one with a fabulous beach view, in her stamping style feature. Teresa Auden shares skill-stretching watercolour techniques, and I try three different ways of showcasing the hero stamp in the set.

Inspired by stripey deckchairs and parasols, Ruth Hamilton adds pattern to her masculine makes. We have clean and simple ideas for super cool cards from Sarah Jackman Read and mixed-media ideas from Tracey Rogers too.

As if the stamp set and sentiment dies aren’t enough, we’re also offering you 33 beach-themed digi stamps which you can download now!

This issue’s masterclass shows just what you can do with shrink plastic – and it sure does stretch the possibilities with your stamps, as Glenda Hall shows, plus we have a great beginner’s guide to recessed panel cards – great ideas to test your stamping skills too!

Don’t miss fabulous new releases from Hunkydory’s For The Love of Stamps, AALL & Create, The Ton, Uniko and Visible Image – we have stamping inspiration from cover to cover!

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!
