Issue 115 has a fabulous Winter Village stamp set, brought to you in conjunction with our friends at Colorado Craft Company – plus, there’s a bonus 4-in-1 stencil to use alongside the stamps!

Our Design Team had lots of crafty fun using the stamps and stencil to create cards for Christmas and beyond. Teresa Morgan shows you how to use the stencil to create scenes for your stamps, triangles take centre stage for Sarah Jackman Read’s stamping style projects, plus there are some must-try masculine makes inside this issue!

Amy Wilks takes things off the page with her impressive Christmas designs, while you’ll find creative card shapes for cards with the wow factor from Glenda Hall, who has created this issue’s cover card. Plus, we have clean and simple ideas on page for when you’re short on time for your year-round designs.

This issue’s masterclass will have you raiding your stash of embossing powders to create beautiful backgrounds and I, for one, cannot wait to try Jane’s inspiring ideas! We also catch up with the brand behind this issue’s stamp set, Colorado Craft Company, to find out what they’ve got coming up!

As always, we have the latest releases from all your favourite stamping brands, including a showcase of the gorgeous new Frida Kahlo range from CraftStash from Vanessa Hodgson. We go across the pond for a look at the latest goodies from Pinkfresh Studio. Meanwhile, we take a look at some fab new digi stamps from Polkadoodles for you to try.

Check out our brilliant competitions and giveaways throughout the magazine, including fabulous crafting hauls from Taylored Expressions and Hunkydory. Be sure to join our growing online Readers’ Gallery so you can share your makes with us!

Happy stamping!
