Cardmaking & Papercraft Mag

Just bought my Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine this afternoon along with this unusual chocolate bar - thought I'd see what it's like " Mistletoe Kisses" while I try and have a read of my mag! It came along with these gorgeous 6x xmas design papers too!

Cardmaking & Papercraft

While I was out down at our local shops I went to the Post Office to post my Tag swaps to shelleyhope and something for my DH. While I was in there I just checked the shelfs for magazines I tend to buy for a read. To my delight I saw my regular buy of Cardmaking Papercrafts! So, obviously I bought it! I am ever so much looking forward to a good read of this. The magazine had a free embossing metal tool with it which I am more than likey not to use so, hopefully someone I know will want it who shall make use of it! If interested just post a comment here!

My Monthly Magazines

Just the other day I noticed that my magazines were out when down posting things off to friends on he Crafts Beautiful Forum! I bought my Papercraft Essentials & Cardmaking & Papercraft magazines for this new month. What a great read and, what fab freebies yu got too: a lovely sticker book from C & P and gorgeous fairy papers in the Papercraft Ess. magazine which you can see at the bottom here of my post. Lots of inspiration has come upon me now!

Papercraft Essentials Issue 31

Just ythe other day I purchased my issue of this months Papercraft Essentials mag. and I was best pleased that I did as it was full of interesting projects, blooming with colour and excellent free papers and some interesting features too. I had a very pleasnt read of it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys this magazine as much as I do. :0) x

Along with the issue you got this fabulous booklet of free papers with 24/25 sheets in it. There are numerous gorgeous papers and below is one I particlary like. I shall be using some of my free papers from this issue and I shall post out others I do not use in RAKS. So keep your eye out those of you on the CB Forum.

Inside this issue I saw a set of stamps featured of Trendy Teens. I was quite taken to the Ballerina more than the others. The one with the sword.....well...I'm not so sure abvout to be honest. Looks like somethjing MentalSarcasm would like, I think!....This is called the Kerry Jo stamp set which you can get from Debi Moores website www.debbimoore.co.uk £14.99. These are said to be the "hottest stamps out right now".

You get a shopping Ideas page in every issue, and I usually always find that there is something that I like in this section. In this issue 31. I was drawn to these floral papers. New to Fancy Pants which you can get from here http://www.creative-expressions.uk.com/ at 80p a sheet.

Papercraft Essentials Issue 31

These cards above are featured in this issue of Papercraft Essentials. Fun and funky animal cards that really captured my eye. I just adore the Mouse card as it uses my favourite colours and I like the patchwork on it. Hope you like them too! There are more animal cards like these I just wanted to show a few. ;0)

Quilled Handbag

Quilling Masterclass

I have been reading my Papercraft Essentials issue 31 magazine last night and this morning and had found the great masterclass on quiling very interesting. Jut llok at this Wedding Cake with the quilled flowers, isn't it just beautiful! This is just one of many of the quilled sample cards they have featured in their masterclass pages. Now, I really fancy a go! Once upon a time I did try my hand at Quilling but, it was so long ago and these beautiful cards I've seen have now inspired me. The only thing is, I don't have any spending money to start myself off yet, so will be going on my Wish List amongst other things! (Instsructions are above, if you are unable to purchase the mag.).

Papercraft Essentials Issue 30

Another magazine that I enjoy reading is my Papercraft Essentails Magazine! I went to post a RAK, a letter to a craft pen pal and my July Card Swap today and, while in RSMcColls (Post Office is within here) it just so happened that I spotted the next issue of Papercraft Essentials (Issue 30) and I HAD to buy it no matter what ! ! I have included pictures of it as it may draw you into buying it, maybe not! I don't know. There is a pic to show some of the Free papers you get with this issue plus a picture of one of the templates used for one of the projects inside this months issue. I have still to read this magazine as I have not had the chance to do so yet. So, this will be my bed reading for tonight, or at least I'll start it. I want to go start something else first before heading off to bed. Happy Reading if you purchase this yourself!
