Sorry if this doesnt belong here didnt know where to put it :D
Do any of you subscribe to a craft magazine ?
And which one do you subscribe to ?
Was thinking Making Cards one or Do crafts , you get better freebies with Making Cards one.
Thanks Girlies x
Not a fan of Making Cards personally. There is a new magazine out, only available through craft retailers, and I think it's called Creative Cardmaking. Looks a much better bet imho.

I subscribe to Quick card made easy , cardmaking and papercraft and simply cards and papercraft. All ok but dont read them in detail as much as i used too though.

I love Craft Stamper, but I would say that it is very much for rubber stampers can be very inky and grungy which is to my taste. I also get Simply Cards and Papercraft and that's nice too, very bright and modern, more cutesy. They have some nice bits and bobs if you take out the subscription. :)

Craft Stamper is the only one I subscribe to and as suetheiron has already commented it's very much a stamper's mag rather than an all round crafting mag. Unless stamping is your "thing" there are probably other mags out there that will offer more of what you want.

I love craft stamper, creativity life and the do crafts one, I buy the odd other mags but usually find them disapointing, I used to buy crafts beautiful but that's the same old same old.

I expect the clue is in the title of the mag ;) :D
I just cancelled my subscription to Papercraft Inspirations which I really only took out for the subscription gift at the time :rolleyes:
Not sure which mag I prefer really - although I tend not to buy Crafts Beautiful, I just don't particularly like it's writing style.

I had lets make cards, but after the subscsription ran out no way would I want it again, they give you embellishments to make cards each time but they are cheap odds and ends, nearly always the same sort of things that end up in the bin. But everybody's taste is different so I suppose that some must like it else it would go out of publication.

It's Papercraft Inspirations, I love it and never miss a copy, I sometimes buy the Do-crafts card making one, I always bought it when it was £1, but obviously it's really one big advert and IMHO should be free.
Can't stand Crafts Beautiful - it's a bit old fashioned for me!

Craft stamper are offering a set of large rock a blocks and a flower fairy stamp plate (almond blossom) total value £39 if you take out a subscription this month. I have been hanging fire before subscribing for a gift that I would like and this is the one for me! Still showing the old offer on the traplet website though so maybe will have to phone up as I want to be sure these are the freebies I get Just thought there might be others out there who would e interested
