Card making magazines usually have freebies on the cover, provide a wealth of inspiration and showcase the latest card making supplies and tools.
Subscribing may seem expensive because you are paying in a lump sum, but in fact you save money this way because it's cheaper than buying each issue individually.
Although the internet now provides lots of craft ideas, it's still a lovely surprise when the latest issue of a magazine comes crashing through your letterbox, complete with gorgeous crafty freebies - and these are getting bigger and better as the magazines try compete for crafters' attention, so you could find rubber stamps, embossing templates, papers, CDs, cross stitch kits etc.
Magazine subscriptions are popular options for birthday or Christmas gifts for crafters, and it's easier to renew subscriptions from year to year.
