New issue out tomorrow and new challenge!

The June issue is out on sale in the shops tomorrow (1st May). As Father's Day is approaching, this issue has lots of makes for men including a stamped tie, ideas for cufflinks, a minibook and also card ideas. Our free stamp is by Crafty Individuals and is a lovely little ticket and a key in their usual vintage style.

As usual, we have the Sketch Challenge, so I hope you'll want to play along? Here is this month's sketch:

And here is the candy on offer if you take part this month, which has been generously donated by The Craft Barn. Footballer Dan is part of their exclusive Kadoodle range of stamps - pop over and check them out.
Have fun!

Morning all,
APRIL ISSUE SKETCH CHALLENGE

April issue hits the shelves today (visit the Craft Stamper website for a peek at the contents), and so it's time for a new Sketch Challenge!

Here's the sketch. Just make something, anything you like, based on the sketch and leave a comment with a link.

There is candy for the winner (selected at random) - this month we are giving away these lovely Papermania mini stamp sets, as seen on the 'First Impressions' page, kindly donated by Do-Crafts.

I'll announce the March winner next week, so keep an eye out :o).

Have a great weekend all.

Sketch Challenge!

Play along with our Sketch Challenge!

Here is the sketch Craft Stamper designers Isabelle Norris, Lana George and Rachel Ward used for their artwork in the February issue. In case you haven't seen it, the Sketch Challenge is a new feature, where three artists produce a card, altered item and scrapbooking project using the sketch provided. Simple idea, but it's great to see what the different designers come up with.

I'd love to see what you guys can create with the sketch! I do hope you'll play along and I'll send a little bit of candy to one person who joins in, selected at random.


The candy up for grabs is this lovely set of swirly stamps kindly donated by Jennie from the Artistic Stamper. Just leave a comment here with a link to your sketch-based piece (or email me at cs@traplet.com if you don't have a blog).

Take care and see you soon!
Katy

PS - I am contemplating another challenge feature and have put a poll up so let me know your thoughts. xxx
