Creative Cardmaking issue 11
After months of preparation and build up, Christmas is finally over! After a good rest and time to recharge the batteries, we can now look forward to everything 2010 will bring us.
I’ve decided not to make any New Year’s resolutions this time as I never stick to them anyway! Instead I’m simply going to make an effort to try out new things – whether that is new craft techniques, food I’ve never had before or places I’ve always wanted to visit but never got around to.
To kick-start my new approach, there are plenty of projects inside this issue for me to try. For instance, I’ve never made a Jacob’s ladder before so I will definitely be giving Melissa Andrews’ friendship design on page 45 a go. I’m also going to dig out my crackle paints and reproduce Dyan Reaveley’s feature on page 39 as I absolutely love the ‘4 Reasons’ accordian card she has created.
As well as these innovative projects, we have pocket cards on page 49 by Jackie Huckstepp, a ProMarker lesson from Dawn Wheeler on page 59 and gorgeous paper flower cards by Judith Hannington on page 63, amongst many others.
There are two different paper collections for you this month – the first is Love Fool, and you will find quick and easy ideas for using these papers on page 12; the other is Floral Flutter and there is a gorgeous thank you gift set on page 16 making the most of these designs. Remember to send in your creations made using the papers and we will give a prize to every reader whose work is published.

The absolute best one you’ve done, not just for papers but also for projects. Very impressed…
I am fairly new to card making but I really enjoy it, until I hit an obstacle, like now. Your free papers are brill as always, but what do I do with the vellum with the words on and frames on. It show’s you how to use the free papers but not them. I haven’t got a clue, please help. I’m disabled and in a wheelchair, so this is a great way for me to cccupy myself, I love it, your mags are brill.

You can use vellum glue or a touch of glue runner tape to attach the vellum to card or paper at the edges. No problem.
Remember, you can also get this mag in The Paper Mill Shop in the Metrocentre in Gateshead in Tyne & Wear.
