I’m not impressed. I’ve eyed up the ranged of hideously overpriced craft/card making mags before, but was determined to treat myself to one after my exams. This was the second-cheapest, at £3.95, and seemed like a good first experiment. Plus, the pictures of the freebie paper (you can’t get at it to see, as the whole thing is plastic-wrapped) looked nicer than the one in the more expensive mag.

So, the mag: not impressive. There are a lot of adverts, and a great deal of the ‘inspiring’ features are too heavy on the use of a particular stamp – not the easiest thing to modify to your own tools, methinks!

On the plus side, the technique explanations are really good. There’s maybe one or two I fancy trying… which isn’t value for money.

Oh, and the pretty paper? A6-sized, one bit of each design. And I really don’t understand the bra/knickers designs… O.o

If it was £1 – like the much better Do Crafts mag – I’d give it a ‘wishy washy’. But at nearly four times the price… nah!
