Mixed Up Magazine Rocks!


Heyyy, everyone! Did you know that our previous DT member Katy Leitch just launched a digital magazine? Yes, you heard right - our very own Katy! She used to be the editor of Craft Stamper and Scrap365 magazines so she has plenty of editorial experience, which you really can tell by the look of her own publication. I love it!!!

Mixed Up is a monthly publication, on sale on the first day of each month. Available for desktop or via the Apple and Android app stores.

Here is the cover of the very first issue and some info from the magazine's about page.




Mixed Up is a digital craft magazine with a mixed media flavour. We aim to bring you a wide variety of mixed media craft projects with easy-to-follow step-by-step tutorials. The magazine is made interactive with live links.  

We focus on education and learning, encouraging readers to experiment and develop their skills with step-by-step guidance and expert advice. 

We encourage and nurture new talent and are open to submissions from anyone, from anywhere in the world. We want to showcase YOUR talent!

If you want to submit your work,

​

Here is a sneak peek of one of my published cards, which is just one of so many other, and much, MUCH more cool stuff - not just cards -  by several talented crafters and artists (I recognised a few names there...):



The price for one issue is only £2,99 and I think you get a LOT of value for your money!!! Even if I am affiliated (as a friend of Katy and published biz owner), this is my personal and honest opinion. It's over 80 pages of good schtuff, lots of tutorials!

How to buy (instant download), it's all on this page.

Mixed Up mag is only available digitally and is distributed through our partners Pocketmags. You can buy single issues or subscriptions. ONE purchase enables you to view the magazine on ANY platform using the Pocketmags app. You can view the magazine on your PC or Mac desktop, on Apple, Android and Microsoft branded phones and tablets, and on Kindle Fire tablets.

If you do buy it, or have already, please leave a comment and let us know what you think! I'll pass it on to Katy. She wants feedback - praise and constructive cirisism are equally welcomed.


Here's to a great new magazine! *klonk* (that's me toasting... with my coffee mug)


  Love,
Bibi

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
