If you have been meaning to try cardmaking, Creative Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine has plenty of variety and really clear instructions. The supply lists are detailed and the photography is amazing.

Julia Matthews, previously at For Keeps, is now at Derwent Howard Media and the new look for this magazine has got her clean style all over it.

I also saw on Aussie Pub Calls that she is looking for submissions and has made a call for a magazine design team. It’s past the deadline but she probably hasn’t made any decisions yet.

Here’s the press release from Julia:

Press Release
August 19 2008

We’re very excited to be revamping Creative Cardmaking and Papercraft. Our philosophy is simple. We’re filling the magazine with cards you will love to make and everything you need for foolproof results!

There’s something for everyone, and all levels of experience. The Spring issue is packed with projects, 50 cards to recreate plus scrapbooking layouts. The magazine is beautiful to flick through but it’s much more than a gallery, it’s loaded with simple-to-follow instructions and many of the projects come with helpful ‘step-by-step’ photography to refer back to. Each issue also features articles, interviews and reviews to enjoy leisurely over a cup of tea, and plenty of product reviews. More than ever before, cardmakers can break out their supplies with total confidence, knowing that making great looking cards has never been easier! 

Creative Cardmaking is onsale in newsagents nationally and in New Zealand. Look out for the free stickers on the cover!
