I like Rubberstampmadness and Stamper Sampler. But boy oh boy, do I miss The Rubber Stamper. I have a lot of the old ones and have been looking through them for some ideas.
My personal favourite is the UK mag Craft Stamper - it comes out monthly and every issue has a free stamp on the cover. What is good, is it give you ideas of how to use the stamp too. It has loads of off the page paper crafts as well. Here's the link
i'll second the praise of the Craft Stamper mag. think they do an int'l subscription.
Yes, they do and it is quite reasonable too. You would get it cheaper than I do (I'm in Oz). When you subscribe, I think they have part of their internet pages for subscribers too. (I just buy mine at the News agent and I am about a month behind - lol). The website is super.

I'll third craft stamper. I'll warn you though - It has cost me a decent amount $$$..I am always finding new products that I want to buy, including a few great int'l stamp companies!
My favorite is "Just Cards" and "Scrap & Stamp Arts." I am another one who really misses "Rubber Stamper." "Crafts 'n Things" is just not as enjoyable as "Rubber Stamper" used to be in my opiniion.
I too miss Rubber Stamper - saved lots of articles from them. I mostly refrain from buying mags since I found SCS. More inspiration here than a boat load of magazines but it is nice to have something in your hand to peruse. My favorite is Take Ten Quarterly publication by Stampington.
When I looked at the Craft Stamper website, it said a 1 yr. subscription for US/Canada is $86.00. I don't know if that's US or Canadian but that's a lot of money for a one year subscription, don't you think? Or am I missing something?
I like Paper Crafts (and all their specialty issues), but REALLY, Splitcoaststampers is the BEST source of stamping ideas!! I am a Fan Club Member, just in appreciation for this awesome website.
I do understand how it's nice to have a magazine to hold in your hands and flip through, though! I enjoy buying Stampers Sampler's "Take Ten" issues which come out quarterly, but I won't like the real "artsy" stuff. If you like children with crowns on their heads and odd women's face images, then you'll LOVE Stampers Sampler's magazine - the one that comes out every other month or so. The Take Ten has less of the real eccentric (to me, anyway!) stuff.

For when I need/want to flip through something my go-to magazine is Take Ten (even the old issues - I have tons!) I also enjoy Papercrafts and StampScrapArts but not as consistently as Take Ten.
Each time I look through my older magazines I find something "new to me" because tastes and abilities change with time.
Online inspiration is almost exclusively from Splitcoast (although I often follow links to blogs and vendors).
Another one here who really misses The Rubber Stamper. None of the other magazines come close to this old magazine!
Although I get several mags so many of them focus on paper crafts instead of more stamped projects. It almost seems they cater to the scrapper who is becoming a cardmaker. I wish they would focus more on stamping.
I really like PaperCrafts too ... I find great ideas for all sorts of things to create, not just cards; it is very reasonably priced; and they have some great 'special' issues too.

yeap. over $7 an issue. before I commit to that much money I want a sample issue to read first, even if I have to pay for one. I tried looking to see if they even had sneak previews of pages on line but no luck.
Just Cards is the one I am most familiar with, and mainly through friends who have been published in it multiple times.
usually when I want/need inspiration.. whether for a specific stamp or a layout Idea, I come here first. I get plenty of insight without being a fan Club member too.
Looking for card making magazines?
