This issue is crammed full with gorgeous new card ideas, informative tutorials and tips to expand your crafting abilities, and ideas for creating scrapbook layouts, mini albums, bag, tags, and much more! We do have a few publication changes we want to inform our readers about. In the past, all Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine issues have been available to read online free of charge. These free issues will continue, however the online publications will be released as a slimmed down version of our new print publication. We have received an increased demand for a print version of our issues and so we have decided that moving forward, all new publications will be available in full color print through our shop. Online readers can continue to find our e-magazine online through our host site Issuu – http://issuu.com/whimsystamps/docs We thank you for your continued support and hope you are inspired by the projects you see and the creative and fun ways to use our Whimsy Stamps products. I would also like to extend a huge thanks to Janna Sicard. Janna is our new Supplies Content Editor and she worked tirelessly to compile the supplies lists and edits for this issue. Thanks Janna! Until next time, happy crafting from your friends at Whimsy Stamps!
- Denise Hello crafty comrades! First and foremost, my sincere thanks and gratitude goes out to you, the Whimsy fans, for supporting our publications. Our first print edition of the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine (Tips & Tutorials, Volume I) was a huge hit and we are reeling at the amount of compliments and support that you have all given us. Second, I would like to thank our new addition to the editor’s team: Janna Sicard! She has been invaluable in these publications and without her, we would always be late :) Third, we would not be able to have these publications without the creative souls and endless dedication of the best design team in the stamping world: the Whimsy Stamps Design Team and Magazine Staff Designers! The editors and customers thank you for the inspiration you give us in every publication through each fantastic creation. And now that all the thank you’s are out of the way, I just wanted to take a quick few minutes to mention how much I thoroughly enjoyed working on this issue. These pages are filled with wonderful new creations and information tutorials that we’re sure you’ll go back to over and over again. I always look forward to seeing the creativity in the Beyond Cards, Sentimental Stamping, and Tutorials sections and the design team has again delivered! We hope that you enjoy this publication, and as always, we are forever grateful for your support! Until next time!
