Who's It For?:
This is a magazine that is firmly targeted at creative people looking for new and innovative ways of using their talents. A variety of crafts are used within the projects. Rubber stampers will be interested to find that stamping of all descriptions appears throughout the magazine in many of the projects and ideas. Stamping in the widest sense is used within the magazine and past projects have included stamping on fabric, using rubber stamps to create textured buttons and potato stamping for grown ups. Make It Mine has a website that offers more information including videos.
Types of Projects:
Most projects can be undertaken without the need for specialist equipment. The magazine explains any unusual techniques and this is supported by videos that are freely available on the Make It Mine website. The main ethos of the magazine is to help readers customize and transform ready made (or found) objects, however there are also great ideas for embellishing made from scratch items too.
.....And For Stampers?:
Make It Mine is proof of how rubber stamping can be used in many different ways - and some of the projects featuring stamping are a great way to show the versatility of the craft and to prove that stamping is far from boring! The feature in the Spring 2008 magazine that discusses embellishing clothes with stamps is a great introduction to rubber stamping on fabric and can be adapted in many ways. In addition to this, stamps are used as tools in other projects, for instance making textured buttons. This is not a dedicated stamping magazine and stamping is just one of the many crafts featured.
