Free Gift from Papercraft Magazine + Handmade Card

Sometimes the best craft finds are completely unplanned, and this was definitely one of those moments. While shopping at Tesco, I came across a bumper craft pack. I’d never picked up this magazine before, but it instantly caught my attention and somehow found its way into my basket.

If you have it I invite you to create with me 🙂 Below you will find a video for the card with a stamped background!

One of the things that really drew me in was that it includes issue focused on Cricut, which I always enjoy browsing for ideas and inspiration and Sentimantaly Yours magazine. On top of that, the magazine comes with some truly lovely free gifts: an embossing folder, a clock cutting die, and a stamp set. The stamps are especially beautiful and have a timeless, elegant style that works perfectly for card making and mixed media projects. So in no time I was sitting at my desk creating the card using my free gift 🙂

For this card, I selected a few stamp designs and layered them to create an interesting background. I then coloured the hearts and leaves using Distress Inks, choosing soft tones that complement the vintage feel of the stamps. I love how the background turned out—it has plenty of detail while still feeling balanced and cohesive.

This was such a lovely and unexpected find, and I’m really glad I picked up the magazines. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for future issues.

Happy Crafting!
