HELLO
edition of
Welcome to the APRIL 2016
Like last month, this month is absolutely jam packed with fantastic projects, news and more!
Starting with our New To You shopping guide, look out for some of these great ranges in the
shops soon, I especially love the Honey I’m Home range from We R Memory Keepers and the
lovely ribbon from Crafty Ribbons! Ok, and the adorable new digital Stamps from CC Designs,
well... all of it really! I recently attended a trade show and got a sneaky peek at all the new launches
planned for the year ahead, there is some really wonderful stuff - all I can say is lucky you!
Project wise I’ve noted my favourite in this edition as Kitty’s A few of My Favorite Things,
I just love the bright colours! But in fairness I love all the projects! Kay Carley’s cards using
the new Altenew stamps are stunning, so fine in detail, Sarah’s backgrounds using the new
embossing folders by Xcut are beautiful cards and I love the ‘scrapbook-ish’ style of our
Make in minutes project by Sarah; Using a pretty paper pack.
Starry Night, one set of your 16 free craft papers are just lovely. Emma has teamed these
beautiful images of sun-setting skies with colourful papers but you could team these
with more black elements for an enhanced dramatic effect. Fairy Girls is so adorable -
these beautiful images are similar to those you would find and use straight from an artpad.
Being void of edges allows you to cut, die-cut to whatever shape you need. Have you signed
up to receive the FREE bonus craft papers?
Do put yourself in with a chance of winning some of the fantastic prizes we have on offer this month
including new LC Designs stamps and Heartfelt Creation dies! Don’t forget that you can enter all of
our competitions online at www.makingcardsmagazine.com as well as via email and post now!
Every reader will receive something special with their May edition so be sure to take
advantage of our latest subscription offer on page 23 to make sure you don’t miss out!
