Oooops....

Apologies to everyone - it appears I forgot to draw the sketch challenge back in April (I just found the prize in my box when I went to send out the latest one...oh dear...).

I'm really sorry for the oversight. The random choice of winner is DEBS, who created a lovely card which you can see here: http://debs-eternity-cards.blogspot.com/2009/03/craft-stamper-challenge.html

Please get in touch and I will send your prize (some lovely Papermania stamps) out to you asap.

Sorry again folks - I'm only human!

Sketch Challenge!

Play along with our Sketch Challenge!

Here is the sketch Craft Stamper designers Isabelle Norris, Lana George and Rachel Ward used for their artwork in the February issue. In case you haven't seen it, the Sketch Challenge is a new feature, where three artists produce a card, altered item and scrapbooking project using the sketch provided. Simple idea, but it's great to see what the different designers come up with.

I'd love to see what you guys can create with the sketch! I do hope you'll play along and I'll send a little bit of candy to one person who joins in, selected at random.


The candy up for grabs is this lovely set of swirly stamps kindly donated by Jennie from the Artistic Stamper. Just leave a comment here with a link to your sketch-based piece (or email me at cs@traplet.com if you don't have a blog).

Take care and see you soon!
Katy

PS - I am contemplating another challenge feature and have put a poll up so let me know your thoughts. xxx

Happy New Challenge!

It's the new year the February issue of CS is out on sale today, so it's time for a new challenge! YAY!

This challenge relates to Isa Norris' beautiful Vintage Valentine article and is called GET CREATIVE WITH CUTTLEBUG! The challenge is to have a go at Isa's gorgeous 'cuttle-wax' technique or you can use your Cuttlebug in combination with stamping supplies in other ways.

You could win this fab prize - three Cuttlebug folders plus two gorgeous new Crafty Individuals bird stamps (as used in the article) - which has been generously donated by the wonderful folks at The Craft Barn. The Craft Barn website is now fully operational and they are a fabulously well-stocked store so do take a look!

NOW FOR THE WINNER OF THE GLIMMER MIST CHALLENGE - WENDY!
Here's her lovely card http://craftblog.craftybutterfly.co.uk/2008/12/glimmered-iris.html - thank you to everyone who played along. I hope you had fun!

I hope everyone had a happy and relaxing Christmas - I certainly did. Here's to a creative and crafty 2009.

Other content linked from the mag will be posted in the next few days for you.
