the latest Making Cards mag, Nancy, as usual the papers are just gorgeous,going to use them to make Mom's birthdy card, they are so lovely.Have also
ordered the new special edition mag due out in July.I think this must be the best value mag on the market now,i have stopped buying any of the others as they
all seem to be the same sort of thing each month and full of adverts.

I agree it is a fabulous mag, and a wealth of hints and tips too as well as the free papers each month. I love it and cancelled all my subs to the other mags
as I felt they were getting samey.

Will be picking it up tomorrow from my local craft shop:)
Used to get loads of mags, but like you, I got bored with them. Only buy the others now if the 'gift' on the front catches my interest....like the flower fairy stamp in one of the mags this month. San x |

Mine arrived today. Only had a quick peep at it as I'm going to have a good look at it when I go to bed.. I agree about the papers, they are gorgeous.

I got mine this morning and I agree to me its definitely the best value craft magazine, the papers are beautiful again but the best part was the classiest
new mail order catalogue I have ever seen. The quality is superb, pictures in it are exquisite. It a real winner. In case any of you haven't got it.
Guess whose it is!!!

There is lots in the magazine this month and Nancy has designed some scrummy strawberry papers.

got mine too. Wish it was sold in shops though so you didn't have to subscribe and could buy the ones you wanted. I got a Joanna catalogue again as well.
Does anyone know why it isn't sold in the shops in the normal way?

yes, got mine yesterday, but only had a quick look through last night. I agree it looks great and I'll probably order the extra one as well.

violafreckles wrote: Hi Ann, Magmaker, the company who publish Making Cards and Parchment Craft, are a small family run company, the titles have been going for quite a few
years now and are going from strength to strength. Peter and his wife Ros are the owners and together with Liz and Carl the editors, believe that it is the
crafts shops that have supported them throughout that time. To start selling to the huge stores would really be detrimental to the very people that helped the
business to grow, i.e. the craft shop owners. Also, the huge stores are notoriously difficult to deal with and are a bit of a minefield for small companies.

I love Making cards as it is good value as you actually want to use the free papers etc.,and of course Nancy does do an excellent job.
Our garden centre which runs art classes etc has stocked it for a couple of years. They ring me( and others ) when its arrived and I go and collect. I went Wednesday,hopefully , but it hadnt arrived yet, so I will be there tomorrow. Ali x |

I have been subscribing for about 2years now it's the best craft magazine out and there has never been a month when I haven't loved all the papers Have
ordered the next special which I know will be fantastic and to be able to get them online (once they have sold out) is an added bonus you have the papers to
print for ever. Nancy's designs are all beautiful.
Joanna's new catalogue is beautiful so classy as you would expect. |

As always such beautiful papers and card examples from Nancy...keep up the wonderful work Nancy. Don't like to use my papers 'cos they are so pretty!
Lol.
I agree with Eunice Joanna's new catalogue is beautiful...never had one before, so now it's a keepsake for me. love Sheila xx |
