Creative Stamping Magazine

Issue 148 is packed to the brim with gnomes! We are all huge fans of these cute characters and we have a stunning collection of cards to inspire your creativity with these brilliant mix-and-match Summer Gnomes, featuring designs from Altenew. Look closely and you will find complete characters to stamp and colour, plus partially-designed gnomes to which you can add a myriad of accessories and expressions.
We take you through the basic techniques of masking your elements to build your own gnome and show you how to make them work for masculine cards too.
With the fun paper downloads you’ll find instant background scenes and also gorgeous patterned papers to use with your stamps, plus we have clean and simple ideas and the grooviest set of feminine cards to inspire your stamping!

You’ll find techniques to improve your crafting throughout this issue, with an ink-lifting and faux bleaching masterclass which uses stencils in a very creative way. We take a fresh look at working with silhouette stamps, and, if you love digi stamps, check out our freebies from our friends at Two Red Robins, with 34 seaside-themed stamps to download from www.craftworld.com.
Enjoy the latest releases from Sentimentally Yours, Hunkydory, Altenew, and Timestamp Creations too!
