I like to confuse people.

Have to admit Ive never looked for craft mags, didnt know they existed.

bead and button... american publication and craft beautiful (only since I started advertising in it) and will probably start reading quick and crafty as my advert is now going in there too!
I would love to read a british beading magazine.... maybe one day someone will actually get round to publishing one!!

Beadwork, Bead & Button, BeadStyle.

Card making and Papercraft is a favourite of mine. I tried Crafts Beautiful and wasn't keen.

As a cardmaker I like Quick Cards Made Easy and Cardmaking and Papercraft.

Good luck with your research

I read and advertise in creative scrapbooking, scrapbooking inspirations, I honestly think that you must reconsider advertising in magazines unless you can do a trial to test the water of your exact market. I have been advertising with not much success. A few locals who wanted to join my workshops but other than that not many sales or site traffic. I think this is because the craft market is so saturated with not enough new crafters to fill in the gaps. What do you think

Hi
I am advertising in Card Making and Papercraft, but I read this mag before I started adverts. As I am a subscriber I now get two copies every month which is entertaining!!
I have had some increasse in hits to my site and a few extra sales that I can attribute to the ad but I have just about covered the cost of the ad no more. But I am looking at it that I never throw away my craft magazines and do go back and look for ads for things I want months later so maybe these dripping sales will keep coming!
Or maybe I am just kidding myself!!

I tryed a few as im new to making stuff and thought i could do with learning some tips but so far i only really like crafts beautiful - love all the ideas but its all a bti tricky for em because im not very good eyt!!

Thought some of the others were more like comics to be honest and was very disappointed by the card ideas mainly as ive been doing these the klongest. Am i still 8 years old? no? so why do they talk to me like i am! rant rant rant!! (no offence to anyone that deos liek them) I did see the cover of Quick and Crafty this month and thought it looked good but didnt have enough cash at the time.........might giev that one a go next tho. Im a sucker for anythign that says its quick and easy - so much to learn, so little time!!

PS - wot is up with my typing at the mo?!!! lol! sorry everyone

Quick & Crafty is a must

Hi
I just love quick and crafty, it has all sorts of quick easy projects from card making to home decorations. My 11 year grabs it as soon as it arrives and starts making. I like it so much I now advertise my site and get lots of new customers from it.
