Creative Cardmaking Special: Winter 2009

Creative Cardmaking Special Edition: Winter 2009

After your fantastic response to the free paper collections with each issue of Creative Cardmaking, we’ve launched the Creative Cardmaking Special Edition – a new publication featuring two designer paper collections for your seasonal cardmaking.

This issue we have such a winter treat for you! Issue 1 is packed with yummy paper designs plus co-ordinating toppers, greetings, frames and tags, as well as ideas and inspiration for how to use them. These two paper collections cover all winter occasions, from birthdays, New Year, party invitations and, of course, Christmas, and some of the UK’s most talented designers offer up ideas and advice to get the most from them.

The Winter Wishes collection features funky pink, peppermint green and icy blue tones and an abundance of snowmen, robins and winter mittens. Jo Kill gives them a youthful spin on page 16 with her refreshing designs and fun doodling using pens. Meanwhile, Kirsty Maluga gets creative with punches on page 28, to produce wonderfully stylish and simple cards you can make in an evening.

The Peace on Earth collection takes a step back in time with reindeer, gingerbread men and graceful doves in a pelette of traditional red, green and cream. Judith Hannington uses inking and paper-tearing techniques with the papers to create her beautiful cards on page 4, and Fiona Beckman adds a little festive detail with buttons and ribbon on page 30 for stunning results.

As well as all this there’s patchwork, bling, paper piecing, die-cutting and more – there truly is something for everyone, so look no further for all your winter stash and inspiration!
