August 2009 - Question For You

[Huston]

What's your favorite Papercrafting magazine?

[karenliz]

I love Stampington & Company's Somerset Studio and Stampers Sampler. These publications give me samples of great cards and mixed media pieces. I also love Where Women Create!

[fabyon]

Paper Crafts (USA) and Creative CardMaking as well as Card Making both from the UK.

[Mrscleanhead]

I subscribe to CardMaker & Papercrafts magazines, but would look at anything that shows ideas for cards!

[Sandra]

I don't subscribe to any craft magazines.I get any new ideas or problems solved by going to Paper Wishes or the Message Board. :)

[Sonshine]

Just ditto what Mrscleanhead said :D

For a few years now it had been "Scrapbooking and Beyond," because they always had things made with HOTP supplies and included instructions. Last month, nothing. So depending on nest month it might be changing. Second to that would be their sister publication, not sure of the name, but it's the card one they put out.

I don't usually subscribe to magazines but just recently I put in a subscription to Stampington & Company's Stampers Sampler, hope I am not disappointed...
God bless

That's twice I've seen that publication mentioned - going to have to check it out - although I've maxed out on all my mag subs for this year.

Just ditto what Mrscleanhead said :D

because . . . great minds think alike! giggle, giggle!

My absolute favorite is still Scrap & Stamp because it usually has great ideas and covers both scrapbooking and stamping. Next would be Paper Crafts. I also look at Stampers Sampler and sometimes the Somerset ones, but sometimes they are just a tad too "artsy" for me...I'm not that talented plus tend to like a simpler look...

[Irishlady]

I like Creative Keepsakes which I'm finally getting a subscription. Thinking about one to Cardmakers. Don't usually get into magazines except for Nascar Illustrated. Judi

I've looked at several magazines including Paper Trends and Scrapbooking, Etc. One of the scrapbooking supply websites sells old copies for as little as 99 cents. I haven't found one yet that meets my needs on a regular basis so I skip around. I agree that the challenges and MB here at PW have taught me more in the last 2 months than any mag. I learn alot at weekend scrap retreats too.

Stamplers Sampler and Somerset Studio are very artsy. That's probably why I love them. They do have a publication with cards made in under 10 minutes called Take Ten. Those cards are great and easy to do. I'm more of a artsy person. I love to get my hands into whatever interests me. I know quite a few people who don't like their magazines.

[JodiSong]

I have subs to CK, SB ETC, MM. I occasionally pick up others. My favorite one is SB ETC.

Cardmaker (US) which now offers digital! Love them all! Here in the UK I subscribe to Cards & Papercraft and Complete Cardmaking. Occasionally, I will pick up Simple Scrapbooks, Memory Makers or Creating Keepsakes.

I subsribe to Paper Crafts and Scrapbooks, Etc. They both give me a lot of ideas! I did subscribe to Cardmaker, but let it go. My only gripe about most magazines is they never show the inside of cards. Thanks PW for showing the insides of the cards on the webisodes, that's my favorite part. Often, I'll make a beautiful card and then wonder what to do with the inside and it is PW to the rescue.

If you're on a tight budget check out publications at your local library. I did this recently for something other than cardmaking and I saved myself about $50...got the info I needed free vs. buying a couple of books.

Canceling this sb mag now! 2 times in a row with no PW stuff, but the worst thing is a layout featured with a swear word in the title. I don't think that's proper for a sb publication to publish something like that. :(

Wow - now you've got my attention - they seriously published a page with a cuss word????? I don't get that publication, but of course inquiring minds want to know. (Kind of like rubber-neckers passing an accident scene) :eek:

WOW! :eek: Craft magazines are one publication that you think you wouldn't see anything like that.
