Coming up with our next issue is this fantastic free stamp, which has been created by our very own graphic designer, Emily Hilton.

As I am sure you know, the Movember campaign for male cancer awareness has gathered pace over recent years. So our stamp this month is designed to help you make cards that recognise and support this good cause. It's also the perfect set for embracing the geek chic trend, for creating cards for men and teens,or just for making your designs a little bit quirky, like this fabulous make by Kim Costello.

If you want to take your designs further, this stamp co-ordinates with one of our sets of Squidgy Pins available here.

The November issue is on sale 4th October - don't miss it!

Thought you might like to see this gorgeous card that Sue Wherry (designer of the house and tree cover stamp on this month's issue) sent to me on email. I love the stained glass windonw effect and the 1930s feel of this card. Sue has used the same Fancy Pants papers as you saw in the magazine article.

Check out these absolutely stunning cards made with the free Dragonfly stamp designed by Kay Carley, on Lesley's Blog.

I am sure you will agree they are gorgeous, and so delicate looking.

If you've got a dragonfly creation to share, leave a comment with a link :).

Here's another quick card I made with the May cover stamp - swirly bird by Artistic Stamper.

I know lots of you are loving Swirly Bird who was on the cover of this issue of Craft Stamper (designed for us by Hels Sheridan for the Artistic Stamper). So I thought you'd like to see this lovely ATC made by Anesha using the stamp.

Thanks for sharing Anesha.

See you soon,

Hello all,
I spent all weekend landscaping my front garden this weekend, so no creations of my own to show you this week. Here are a couple of links to some lovely reader projects I came across:

Check out Wendy's blog for a lovely card she has made with the December 'Merry Christmas' cover mount. Clever use of the stamp Wendy! I am so chuffed to see people using the free stamps and am so glad they are useful - so many mags have freebies people just chuck away so I do feel proud to see your gorgeous creations.

This card by Alix Waterhouse wouldn't fit on our free stamp makes pages for December issue, so I am sharing it with you here instead.

I’ve been trawling the internet to see what you have been making with our new polymer cover mount stamps.

Here are links to a few fab creations with the Strawberry stamp from the August 2008 issue.

A lovely little notebook by Ann
A gorgeous card by Sanisi
Another lovely card by Nicola
A brilliant notecard design by Liz
Edna's delightful layered card
Last but not least, a stylish card by Kim

I hope you like their artwork (but please respect their copyright and don't copy their designs directly).

I’d love to see what you have created with our recent polymer cover mount stamps. If you have artwork on your blog please leave a comment and a link to your artwork here to inspire others (or if you don't have a blog email me a pic to cs@traplet.com). Thank you for sharing.
