Creative Cardmaking issue 7

Creative Cardmaking 7

Issue 7 is on sale from Friday 28th August and comes with FREE Kanban papers and embellishments worth over £7!

As the days are getting shorter and the weather is turning back to its normal miserable self, we’ve found ourselves taking advantage of the changing of the season and doing a lot more crafting than we were in the summer months. We’ve also found ourselves leaning towards a more autumnal palette of rich reds, oranges and browns. We’re therefore delighted that there is such a beautiful selection of seasonal cards this issue, like the gorgeous 1 Product, 6 Ideas by Kirsty Wiseman on page 35, or the autumnal stamped cards by Lindsey Hopkins-Westbrook on page 67.

If you are looking further ahead than autumn and want to make a start on your Christmas projects, then you won’t be disappointed! The craft shops have been busy this month creating some gorgeous festive treats for you in a variety of styles, and we take a look at the Cathie Shuttleworth templates to make co-ordinating Christmas cards, characters, tags and decorations on page 44. If you enjoy using Flower Soft on your cards then you will love the monthly technique on page 39.

There is also an extra-special treat for you this month with the free papers! This issue you will find Kanban papers and toppers across the middle pages that contain adorable Christmas characters in a mixture of colour schemes. Brenda Walton shows a variety of inspiring ways for using your free papers, with features starting on pages 12 and 16. We’d love to see how you use your papers, so send in your creations and for each one that gets published we’ll send a prize.
