Card making idea Book? Magnolia Ink Mag?

[lovetotalkmom3boys]

Good evening everyone!

I have two questions for all the cardmakers/stampers.

Can you recommend an idea book for making cards? I know the basic skills so I'm looking for design ideas.

Has anyone ever heard of Magnolia Ink Magazine and if so, do you like it?

Thank you!
Brenda

Close to My Heart has 2 books - Originals and Wishes that are just cards. I love them because it has all of the cutting instructions included. I like to look through the books to get different ideas that I can incorporate into another card.

I also look to Paper Crafts for ideas. Another place is the gallery on SCS.

I hope this helps.

I bought Magnolia Ink for the first time this month and I loved it!!! I must say I love Magnolia stamps too.-

Thanks for the replies! I didn't even think of looking at CTMH.
I'd never heard of CTMH until we moved to Indiana so I'm just now checking out some of their items.

Did you find Magnolia Ink mag in a store? I've only seen it online.

I have the CTMH Wishes book and it's really good.
I also recently got the Papercrafts "Go to Sketches" and am loving it too, lots of great sketches and different ideas for each sketch. And if you can find them "Joy of Cardmaking" #1 and #2 are my go to magazines when I'm stumped for an idea, these are also from Papercrafts and older but might be available on their website still.
