Making Cards

Yip, I do mean the magazine!!
I don't know about anyone else that gets this mag but I really have trouble using the papers that come free with it.
I just have to force myself and even then I just cannot do it.
I do tend now to order the hard copy of any specials that they bring out then order another copy of the on-line mag. That way you can keep the hard copy for reference and as it costs just the same. They give you a code so you can print out the papers to your heart's content
There is no time limit on it either. Only thing is that you have to be hooked up to a printer when you go on-line.
I apologise if I am repeating myself here but I just feel that it is worth pointing out.
I am not sure if you can do this with any monthly mag that you may particularly like but it is worth having a look on their website.

That's a really good point Sadie, I still have most of my Making Card Mags intact. I have managed to use a few I thought this was on here before but then I realised you had told another friend the same thing on facebook getting my websites muddled up now

Since they changed the freebies [they are not a full a4 now] I have not used them so much, but love the mag

Jacky it would not surprise me if I have mentioned it on here before but my be-fuddled brain could not remember

No I don't think so, I knew I had heard it very recently and you have been away from us for such a long time

I feel a bit cheapskate using free papers on cards! (Unless I know its going to get thrown in the trash after the event) I know I have bought the mag... but .. I still feel a bit mean. We used to sell out of it within days of it arriving in the shop. I wonder if thats the reason why we have loads of back copies left????

I know they seem to be sealing them up a lot more which means we open a copy for people (Including me) to browse, then decide. But to be honest I haven't had time to look. (I avoid the mags when they do the Mothers day cards as well. ) Still a bit early days...

I cancelled my subscription a while back as there were so many similar cards each time and the papers were not really my 'style' but it seems to have improved again! Have kept the templates/samples for different folds. I buy one occasionally if it catches my eye.

I love the new MAGNOLIA magazine and have just ordered issue 2. I hope to bring some Auusie ones back with me too.

I stopped buying it too Jane, I'm a Craft Stamper addict these days he he ... love that magazine Brilliant idea though Sadie for those who do get the magazine

I did stop my subscription for a while but have recently started again when I saw their Christmas special, which yes, I ordered via the web link
To be honest, I refuse to use the freebie papers that are enclosed in other mags
The quality of the paper and printing tends to be terrible although I do confess to printing them onto my own paper via their websites
I have spent more than enough pennies on other craft items so have no problem whatsoever of using them. Must be my thrifty Scottish side coming out

I have never tried a stamping mag yet. Is there anyone in particular you could advise me to get Jan?
Was Craft Stamper the actual name?
Magnolia? Not heard of that one Jane but apart from this one subscription I have not bought many mags for a while will have to keep an eye out for it
Thanks for the tip

Craft stamper is the name of the mag Sadie, I also stopped getting the Make It mag as I have so many and really must use up some of those papers. They are the only papers I use out of magazines too but only very occasionally. Such a waste though sitting up on my shelves

Craft Stamper is my favourite now + this one for a treat http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/mags.htm

Forgot to say Anne sells Craft Stamper

I stopped Making Cards as well. Thought the papers were getting very boring and never used them but I do like the quality of the ones in Creative Cardmaking. never heard of Magnolia - where can we get it?

Here Sue

No I can't its sold out! Actually I really wanted to have a look before I bought! Bet WHS don't have it!

Probably one you can only buy where they sell the Magnolia stamps. Does the Craft Barn sell them

Got them here Sue

We didn't sell many of the Craft Stamper mag so we stopped getting it. But I guess it is because we don't sell a lot of stamps unless they are acrylic. The wooden ones end in the sale. I got to sneek on cos hubby snotty and grotty! xxx

I swap and change around. I was putting my new craft stamper mag on the shelf and discovered I had bought several last year too. I think you get a bit fed up of the same ones sometimes

I think you are right. I like to be able to see what I am buying. If there is a few cards I think mmmmm I could do that... If it looks complicated.... I lose patience. I don't have the time I did pre molly... xx

I've only been getting Craft Stamper since it changed its format last year, for the better I think he he. I love the fact that they cover other things like metalwork and new techniques that I can play with each month. Shame its only sold in Smiths or craft shops as it means I can't pick it up with my weekly shopping

Might give it a go. I am missing Scrapbook Inspirations..... xx I know it wasn't card making but I did love it!

I love Craft Stamper magazine , The craft barn does'nt sell Magnolia stamps anymore .I love the scrapbook mags too but like all the mags I get fed up with them all now and again !
