Just a quick note to let you know that the July issue is on sale now (official on-sale date is today).
The cover project is by Trish Latimer and it's a brilliant tutorial on making your own stamps by carving rubber blocks. I am really keen to try this out myself!
Our free stamp is designed by the lovely Jean Hardy from Crafty Individuals and it is rather nice I think - I have a real 'thing' for seaside imagery so I was very happy to work with this stamp. I hope you enjoy the samples Jean and I created to give you some ideas.
There are lots of other ideas and techniques to try so I am sure you will find something to inspire you to get crafting.
Have a lovely weekend,
Katy x
