I subscribe to the Stampers Sampler. It is full of card samples. They also put out a Take Ten issue filled with cards that take 10 min or less to create. It is the best magazine for stampers in my opinion. All of the ads are in the back so you dont have to look at them if you dont want. No, I dont work for them. Just a fan of the mag. Some stamp stores and book stores carry it if you want to check it out first.
My 2 fav's are Papercrafts & Stamp It. I subscribe to Papercrafts ~ they normally have several samples using SU sets. They also give a recipe & detailed instructions for every card that is featured in the magazine. I really like that. Also, they always refer to Online Bonus projects that are announced in the mag. I can't say enough about Papercrafts. You could check out their website before your decide.
I'd go to the bookstore, get a cup of coffee and a pile of magazines and flip through. Its always interesting to look through a pile of magazines and will help you figure out what you like.
Peek before you buy at the very least, so you dont end up buying another companys monthly magazine/cataloge. (I like the articles but was annoyed that it was all to sell their stamps)

I really like Paper Crafts---I never would have boughten it normally but now being an SU demo, I always buy it.....I guess I'd better subscribe to it and save a wee bit of money! Being a scrapbooker by nature, I always buy Creating Keepsakes too....I just can't let a month go without buying that one.....dh gets so mad at me when I buy differnet mags!

Funny I just saw this thread about magazines, as I just got done ordering two a little while ago! :o
For those that may not know- you can get Paper Crafts for $10.89 for a 1 yr. subscription from www.budgetmags.com - it's for renewal or new subscriptions.
***Just a side note about that site - if you have kids...they have Nick Jr. & Nickelodeon mags for $3.59 a year subscription too! :shock:
I also ordered Creating Keepsakes for $14.95 for a 1 year subscription. When you go to the site www.netmagazines.com it will come up with the price of $19.95 - if you use coupon code DCMPS5 during checkout, that will take another $5 off the price.
I've just been thinking about letting my various subscriptions run out, because this site has all I need!
Then I went to budgetmags as suggested...but I ordered knitting and crocheting mags to feed my other addiction.
