Looking for a good magazine

[lovenewhobby]

I am just curious as to what some of your favorite magazines are. I have gotten the CardMaker magazine, but am just wondering which magazines are the most inspiring to you guys. I would like to subscribe to something. Any thoughts? Thanks for the input!

I enjoy Stampers' Sampler and Take Ten both by Stampington & Company.
I usually use a coupon from JoAnns or Michaels to get them. You'll recognize many names from SCS in them.

My all-time favorite is still the Rubberstamper magazine. I tried Rubberstampmadness but the project seemed to ME to tend to be more collage-style. I also get Cardmaker and Papercrafts magazines but I'm probably not going to renew those.

I'm with Kimberly--Rubber Stamper is my fave. I subscribed to PaperCrafts for a few years, but most of the projects are paper crafts, not stamping.

I have just started getting Paper Crafts and enjoying reading it from cover to cover!

I haven't seen rubberstamper magazine yet . . . something to add to my never ending list of things to check out. snort!

Are you ISO a print magazine or would you give consideration to something of an "online" nature? ;)

Depending on what you are looking for, perhaps the SCS Fan Club would be of interest to you?

I really like Paper Crafts, myself and their special edition Stamp It magazines (I think the come out quarterly). I also sometimes like Stampers Sampler. Most of the other magazines I will browse at the store & then if I see something I would like to recreate or get more detailed instruction on, I will buy it with a coupon. I have found that most magazine subscription rates are not less than buying each issue with a 40% off coupon. So I figure that lets me pick and choose which issues are of particular interest to me.

Thanks so much everyone. I appreciate all the suggestions!:-D

You are likely interested more in "cardmaking" magazines... but my newest favorite "papercraft" magazine is from Australia's Pride Publishing. It's called "For Keeps Creative Scrapbooking" I was buying it from JoAnn's (usually with my 40% off coupon!) but I finally broke down and got a subscription when they kept making me skip issues...

I love papercrafts too! And, I also enjoy all of their special magazines like Stamp It!, Baby Creations, etc. I also just got a copy of the newest Cards magazine and it has some great ideas in it as well.

I've tried all the magazines, when it comes down to it there are only a few items in them I like. SO...I save lots of money on them now...I buy none!

BUT...I get LOTS more help/inspiration/lovely cards/everything else from the FAN CLUB! Best $25 I ever spent!

I love papercrafts. because it covers all areas of scrapbooking and crafts in general where you can make all kinds of fun goodies. containers. etc for any theme. and you can always add any stamping into the projects.

I like the Papercrafts magazine. I buy Stamp IT when I see it....but my favorite is Vamp Stamp News!
