Creative Cardmaking Special Edition: Spring 2010
We’re back with another fabulous issue of the Creative Cardmaking Special Edition to cover all aspects of your cardmaking for spring, and we’re giving you even more inspiration for your money – 64 pages worth of inspiration, in fact! Plus as always this issue comes with a range of 32 beautifully designed papers for all your spring cardmaking needs.
Covering occasions such as Valentine’s, Mother’s Day and Easter, the papers include everything you need to create stunning cards – plus there’s a bonus Sugar and Spice collection designed exclusively by Craftwork Cards, in warm pinks and bright blue tones with a mixture of polka dots and stripes. Julie Hickey provides instant inspiration for using these delicious papers to best effect on pages 8 and 50.
The Lovebirds collection features an array of heart-warming papers, toppers and borders in rich greens, passionate reds and warm orange tones. Su Pennick adds a new twist to the designs with embossing pens on page 24.
The Just For you collection is full of floral patterns for Mother’s Day in a delicate pastel palette – Zoe Pierson creates a set of beautiful cards using fringing on page 12, to showcase these versatile papers.
The Happy Easter Collection includes cute designs in a range of soft lilacs, lime greens and pale yellows to bring a bit of zing to your Easter cards. Nikki Bowman uses Twinkling H2Os to accentuate them perfectly on page 28.
As well as this, there’s tea bag folding, glitter, Glossy Accents, stitching, chalking and so much more covered, along with expert tips and tricks galore for getting the most out of your papers. We hope you enjoy it!

You describe the spring special edition but you do not say how to get it.
How do I get it?
Vivienne Sleightholm
Hi Vivienne
As with the regular magazine, it should be available through your favourite craft store.
I have been making cards for four years but have only recently started buying magazines. After trying most on the shelf I must admit yours is my favourite as not only does it offer value for money with the hints and advice but your free papers are always of high quality compared to other mags. I read it from cover to cover and love the readers letters page. Thanks for such an absorbing read – keep up the good work!
Hi.
I live in York and have been to THE PAPER MILL SHOP
MCARTHURGLEN DESIGNER OUTLET and have been told that they are not stocking the spring special. How can I get one? Please help.
Hello,
I’m very disappointed that you’re only selling this through craft shops as all ours in and around Telford have gradually disappeared and therefore I am unable to buy your magazine – I managed to get one in Somerset and one in Hatfield but there is absolutely nowhere around here to buy it and I am desperate for an Easter copy. There is one shop, The Range, which has a decent craft stock and is the only place for us crafters left to go. Would you consider stocking it there please?
We now have the new Summer Special Edition as well as still some copies left of the Spring Special Edition. We have sold out of Issue 13 but are looking forward to the die cut free papers in Issue 14 due out for sale on 26th March.
I have bought the spring special edition and would like additional papers in the love bird range to make up some projects with my children. Is it possible to download more papers copies of these papers?
Hi Marion. We’re glad you like the papers. I’m afraid we don’t currently have any plans to make them available as a download.
I have just recieved my copy of ” simply cards” there is an advert 0n page 24 that this magazine is free if we log on to here and all we have to pay is p&p. I cant find where it is, please can you direct me. Thanks
Dawn.

Hi
I have typed in the correct web address and i still can not get my free special edition
I bought Simply Cards & Papercraft issue 70, saw offer for p&p only on Creative Cardmaking Spring edition, but cannot see how to order it. I read Dawn Cook’s question and your answer and wonder if this is right as this happened to me before with the previous offer of this kind as well. I even tried to phone eventually but gave it up as a bad job! So some real help will be appreciated.
I understood from my Cards and Papercraft magazine that I could get a free issue of the springtime edition. Can you tell me how please.
Shirley
