The Stampers' Sampler

The Stampers' Sampler

Jun/July 2008 Issue

So what do we think of the Stampers' Sampler?

This issue of The Stampers' Sampler is a definite "must-have" for anyone who shares the passion for cardmaking and stamping.

The Stampers' Sampler has a very pleasing layout. As you browse this issue, you will immediately see the featured samples of art-inspired cards that can be done in less than 10 minutes. These beautifully photographed samples actually come with brief descriptions on how this artwork was created, and easy-to follow instructions. Take Ten is followed by a dedicated feature of a guest artist. It showcases the guest's artwork and it includes the details on what these cards are made of, the dimensions, the processes, and for the most part, the techniques used in creating this fantastic work of art. A little treat is included - free templates! Predictably, then comes the challenge, the show-us-what-you got section that would inspire anyone to create and share.

When I got a hold of a copy of this issue, it immediately gave me a jolt of endless inspiration from more than the 175 samples of "the best of the best" in card and stamp art. It sure challenges me to want to create, share and feel like a winner. -JK
