HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
 

Welcome to issue 240 of Craft Stamper…. And even with my dubious maths skills I can work out that at 12 issues a year, that means… WE’RE 20 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH!
 
Well didn’t that just fly past! 20 years has seen a lot of craft ‘fads’ come and go, but we’re still here inspiring you with amazing stamped artwork! Long may it continue, I say :) Check out our Facebook page this month for some extra special 20th Birthday giveaways, we have rather a lot of good things up our sleeves!
 
Our 240th issue is full of some gorgeous projects. New Craft Stamper family member Monika Maksym has used loads of moulds to create a wonderful book cover. Have a look on page 28. We have FOUR printables sheets to share this month with you, IKL Designs have created two background surface patterned sheets for us, as well as some wonderful stylised flowers. Have a look on page 58, to see how you can get your hands on them!
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Riikka Kovasin and Melina Dahl, Not one but TWO fabulous Masterclasses, and we also have some fabulous creations made using embroidery hoops in our 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!


"Welcome to our April issue!
 
Is it spring yet? I hope so! Due to our rather overzealous magazine lead times, today I’m writing this with storm Ciara battering the windows, and with flood warnings all over the place. I hope future me (and you!) who reads this once the magazine is printed, is in a much better place, weather wise! Definitely a day for battening down the hatches and getting on with some serious crafting :)
 
Our April issue is full of some gorgeous projects. I have smiled so much this month, it seemed like every parcel from the team brought yet another stunning project for me to be inspired by! I covet the bag that Jo has adorned with her beautiful stamped images :) I’m in awe of anyone who can combine stitching and stamping to this level, simply wonderful! I may have indulged myself this month with the Printables pages. Art Dolls are possibly my favourite things to make, so we’ve given you all some elements so you can make some too! Jaine has done a fab job with them, have a look!
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Chris Dark and Beverley Fraser,  Anna-Karin shares some cool techniques for creating grass, and we have some fabulous creations made using teeny wooden tiles in our 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!"

"Welcome to our March issue!
 
March always seems to be the start of spring, so let’s hope the weather has grown a little warmer and the new green shoots are beginning to be seen! As I’m writing this I’m still bundled up in warm jumpers with the heating on, so we’ll see how accurate I am with predicting the future!
 
Our March issue is full of fresh spring projects, lots of nature themed makes and gorgeous colour schemes. I adore the bright pop of yellow Michelle has used on our cover star project this month! Check out the rest of her She Art feature on page 22. Even if the spring flowers aren’t quite out yet in the garden, you could always make your own! Bozena has created the most stunning stamped flowers, all displayed perfectly in their own pot! Why not have a go yourself? The easy to follow tutorial is on page 46.
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Helen Chilton and Anneke De Clerck, Clare Horner shares Brusho powder techniques in our masterclass, and we have some fabulous creations made using wooden diptychs in our 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!"

"Welcome to Craft Stamper February!
 
I hope everyone is nice and rested from a lovely holiday season! Did you get new crafty goodies? I hope you’ve had a chance to experiment and create some art already.
 
Our February issue has a *little* nod to the traditionally romantic Valentine’s Day season, but not too much! I think wall to wall hearts and flowers can be wearing for anyone! We have a wonderful project from Kath Stewart on page 22, lots of lovely layers, with a delicate pink tones colour scheme. Just beautiful. We got a little over excited with our Printables this month, and made 3 pages for you. All with a text theme, we think these should prove very useful. The CS team have already been playing with them, as you can see in our Cut Out And Keep printables page!
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Clare Messenger and Jenny Marples, Brenda Brown shares another amazing texture technique, and we have some fabulous creations made using MDF frames in our 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!"

"Welcome to our first issue of 2020!
 
Happy New Year! (well sort of, obviously you’re reading this in December!) All the team at Craft Stamper wish you a year full of love, happiness and, of course, lots of crafting!
 
We are debuting two new features for 2020 this month. You may have already seen the Art Calls for our new Stamp Your Art Out! reader gallery on social media, but this will be the first gallery in print. Our new feature gives readers a lot more scope to create, with no colour restrictions or even ‘what can I make?’ restrictions, so we hope to see all kinds of stamped art work from you talented lot! We also start our Cut Out And Keep printables page this issue, featuring projects made from our printable elements with a handy ‘how to’ on the back. Cut them out, keep them handy and use as prompts and inspiration!
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Anna-Karin Evaldsson and Tracey Hey, a great Masterclass on metallic media from Michelle Webb, and some fabulous creations made using metal castings in our 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!"

"Welcome to our December issue!
 
It’s Chriiiiiiistmas :) Or so Noddy Holder and Slade would have us believe! Our December issue is traditionally our Christmas issue, so be prepared to feast your eyes on lots of seasonal wonderful-ness this month. Our photography team have been up to their eyes in fake snow getting all the lovely creations ready for you to see, and that snow gets EVERYWHERE, so we’re most grateful to them!
 
We are welcoming Saadia and Susie to the Craft Stamper family this month. Both ladies have created stunning, yet totally different projects for you be inspired by.

This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Clare Horner and Riikka Kovasin, a great Masterclass on texture paste from Helen Chilton, and some superbly seasonal creations made using Sizzix stamps in our Stamping Contrasts gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!

"Welcome to our November issue!
 
Halloween is always a tricky theme when you’re a crafter… some hate it and would rather drip glue into their eyes than create spooky projects, others simply love it and would use skulls and bats all year around! We’ve tried to cater for both sorts of crafters in this issue, we have *some* Halloween inspiration, but lots of other amazing art if you’re not that fussed!
 
We are welcoming two new artists to the Craft Stamper family in this issue. Firstly, Angie Coomber! I love her fun and funky journal cover. I think you will too, have a look on page 28. We are also welcoming WuWu to the Craft Stamper family this month. She has created the most amazing journal pages for us, I adore her style! Check it out on page 41.
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Magda Polakow and Anna-Karin Evaldsson, a wonderfully vibrant floral project from Tracy Scott, and some amazing bark slice 3D art in our challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!
 
Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!"

"Welcome to our October issue!
 
We’re all excited here at Craft Stamper HQ! This month we’re launching our Printables, something we’ve been busy with behind the scenes for ages, and now we can share! (I was never any good at keeping secrets!) We hope you’ll find them a useful addition to your craft stash, and don’t forget, if you have an idea that we could add to a Printables sheet, let us know! Check out page 58 for all the details.
 
Inside this issue, we are turning out thoughts to autumn. Our cover star Kath is just one of a few designers to use nature as her inspiration this month, check out the gorgeous stamped leaves on her garden notebook! Anneke has used a natural seed pod image, but combined with her signature vibrant style makes for a stunning variation on traditional autumn colours.

Here’s hoping everyone can find time for some nice relaxing crafting this month, we have plenty of projects to get those creative juices flowing!
 
Inside this issue, we have some amazing art for you to be inspired by. Tracey Hey has created the cutest puffin scene inside a journal box, the colours are so tranquil and calming, it’s a beautiful thing! The journal die Tracey used is by Eileen Hull, queen of all things journal if we’re talking about dies! Just to prove that point, her design team have used various dies from the Eileen Hull range by Sizzix to create some amazing journals. Love them!
 
This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Brenda Brown and Clare Messenger, a fabulous tie dye technique from Rahmat Gouse, and some amazing makes created with bee themed MDF in our 3D Challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with!

"Welcome to our July issue!
 
After the heatwave we had at Easter here in the UK, I must admit I was wondering whether that would be the extent of our summer! I’m really hoping this issue finds you all nice and warm, crafting outside in the glorious sunshine.
 
This month, we have a plethora of amazing art for you to be inspired by. Helen Chilton has created a wonderfully whimsical clock for us, such a cool idea!. Anyone who has ever seen any of my own work will know I’m not a pastel person :) However, I think the absolutely gorgeous projects from Bev Brown have changed my mind! Beautifully vibrant, yet delicate at the same time! I think they’re stunning.

Welcome to our May issue! I think we can declare spring is officially here! It must be, we managed to get a few outdoor photoshoots done this month, which are always fun! And no, nobody fell over a wall this time…. (well maybe a little one!). This issue is full of gorgeous projects, it’s difficult to single out the tiny few I have space to mention! Brenda Brown has used a beautiful colour scheme to create her amazing art panel on page 6. Those flowers are just stunning! We also have a typically bold and bright project from Tracy Scott this month. She has combined her signature colourful backgrounds with monochrome stamped images, which just make the art sing! Have a look on page 28. This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Sam Read and Helen Chilton, some beautiful colouring from Anna Karin Evaldsson, and a really cool junk journal from Anneke De Clerck. Lots for you all to experiment with!! Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!

Welcome to our April issue! Is spring finally just around the corner? Probably not, as I write this most of the country is covered in snow! We can be spring-like in our crafting though, I love all the bright fresh green colour schemes that pop up around now. Definitely a breath of fresh air! This issue could easily be subtitled ‘The Trac(e)y Issue’! We have amazing articles from a triumvirate of Tracies to inspire you all. Ms Hey on page 6 has created the most amazing layered acrylic block, Ms Evans on page 18 has a delicate pink floral panel to share, and Ms Easson on page 28 weaves her usual magic with a stunningly painted bauble decoration. Love all three, the Trac(e)ys are SO talented! This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Sarah Anderson and Riikka Kovasin, a really clever kinetic card by Angela Poole, and quite possibly my favourite ever 3D challenge gallery. Lots for you all to experiment with! Have a wonderfully crafty month everyone!

Welcome to our March issue! As we approach Valentine’s day, this issue has more than a few heart themed projects to share with you all! I’m not one for creating frilly, frothy romantic creations by any stretch of the imagination, but a fabulous heart image is something I use very regularly. I hope we have something to inspire you all, no matter whether you’re an old romantic or not! We have some amazing projects to share this month. As well as the heart theme, we have Spring projects appearing too, and the gorgeous art panel from Chris Dark on page 6 is just beautiful! The designers from SamanthaK have used some amazing stamps and substrates to create nature themed projects for us, that is well worth a look on page 32. This month we also have inspirational tutorials from Preeti Datta, Elizabeth Robinson and Mark Gould, a weird and whimsical assemblage from yours truly, and some fabulous art from our talented readers in our Ready Set Stamp gallery.

We have a wide variety of art in this issue, fabric art from the amazing Lou, 3D assemblage from Julie Ann, and some lovely journal covers from the Eileen Hull team.

Welcome to our January issue! As always, our January issue offers up another helping of seasonal treats for everyone! I think our Christmas issues are my favourites to work on, although all the fake snow (sssh, don’t tell anyone it’s fake!) we use in the photoshoots does have a nasty habit of getting EVERYWHERE :) This issue has some stunning Winter inspiration for you to drool over, I know I did! The Masterclass projects created by Anna Karin are just amazing, the layering details plus that beautiful colour scheme makes these projects some of my favourites. I’m always keen to try out new things, and I must say I’ve never used slate as a substrate for an art project before. Jo Firth Young has now got me checking out slate coasters, placemats, you name it! I love how she used her slate, check it out on page 28. In this issue, we also have inspirational tutorials from Jenny Marples, Tania Ahmed and Helen Chilton (to name but 3), some stunning cards featuring the most gorgeous stamps from Tracey Hey, and some fabulous art from our talented readers in our Ready Set Stamp gallery.

Viva Las VegaStamps have a wonderful Halloween range of stamps, and the designers are showcasing some of them wonderfully for us! I’m not sure I have the patience to create a storyboard when I plan a project, but if anything was to sway me in that direction, it would be Harry’s Dream by Tracy Easson I am now firmly in the camp that believes a planning exercise can end up looking like a work of art all by itself! In this issue, we also have inspirational tutorials from Sam Read, Elizabeth Robinson and Sara Naumann (to name but 3), some stunning cards featuring the whimsical images from Lavinia Stamps, courtesy of Tracey Dutton herself, and some superb art from our talented readers in our Ready Set Stamp gallery.
