Massive Sharpie Blog Candy Giveaway worth £350!

I am delighted to be able to reveal that Craft Stamper have teamed up with Sharpie to give 10 lucky readers the chance to get their hands on a goodie bag stuffed with fabulous Sharpie markers - worth £35 each! I personally love my Sharpie markers (I have quite a few!) and am rather envious that I’m not allowed to enter!!!

Sharpies are great for crafters as they will write on just about anything. Try using them for your Christmas makes this year – have a go at doodling with them on acetate and acrylic, use the fine markers for journaling your scrapbook pages or art journals, or use them to add faux stitching to your cards in an array of colours!

With Christmas just around the corner, we are already feeling the festive spirit; decorating our homes and wrapping up presents. Why not use a Sharpie marker to ensure your present stands out from the rest whilst under the tree; whether personalising your wrapping paper with a festive silver snowflake or putting colourful finishing touches to that perfect tag? Sharpie markers are available in 13 stand-out colours making them the ideal Christmas creative companion.

For your chance to win this fabulous prize just leave a blog comment before midnight (GMT) 30th December and if possible link back to this candy from your blog to spread the word. Who knows, you might get a fabulous Sharpie goodie bag to help write away the New Year blues!

Big thank you to Sharpie for offering our readers this special Christmas present!

Oooohhhh - I'm delighted to see I have 100 followers now! Thank you all for taking an interest and visiting me. I do appreciate it!

And to show my appreciation, I think I'll put a bit of candy up for grabs. As our ATC swap is so popular, I hope you'll like this set of stamps for the back of your ATCs, from Woodware which is today's giveaway.

Leave a comment by midnight on Tues 14th April and it could be yours.

Happy Easter!

Welcome to the new Craft Stamper blog

Hello and welcome to the all new Craft Stamper (CS) blog! On this blog you’ll find various bits of information which complement the contents of CS magazine including some extra little projects, sneak peeks of forthcoming features, news and other bits and pieces. I’ve included links to our contributors blogs and also links to other blogs which you might enjoy.

The December issue of Craft Stamper is due out Friday 7th November and is packed with inspirational projects for Christmas. Whether you like cute or classic, vintage or modern, we have a great selection of card ideas to suit many tastes. Trish Latimer’s classy star book and Gail Milburn’s stunning altered book are two of my personal favourite projects this month. Fans of Sue Roddis will be delighted to know that she returns to CS this month with some quirky and fun card makes using peel offs – yes, peel offs!!! No, she hasn’t gone mad – her technique still involves getting inky!

We aim to update this blog weekly, so please come back and see us soon for news, mini projects and more. If you’d like to link your blog to ours we’d be delighted - please feel free.

***LAUNCH GIVEAWAY!*** To celebrate the launch of our blog we have some blog candy for you. We are giving away these delightful Penny Black Twelve Days of Christmas stamps, as featured in the December issue. To enter the draw, leave a comment on this post and put a link back to here on your own blog. A winner will be drawn at random on 15th November.

Good luck!
