Spring in your step? Get ready to Hop ‘til you Drop!
Welcome to the Craft Stamper Blog Hop!
What’s the Hop about?
In a blog hop you simply ‘hop’ from one blog to another, following the links until you come full circle back to the host blog (in this case us!). Our theme is Looking Back and we’ve asked our Design Team to create a post based around a crafting memory from 2012 that’s important to them. On each blog you’ll find a new post with insights and inspiration from our talented international team.

Why should I play along?
Each blog post will have loads of stamping inspiration from the talented team behind Craft Stamper magazine – completely FREE! There will be tips, tutorials and inspiring makes to be found all along the hop route.
