Welcome to another inspiring issue of the UK’s favourite die-cutting and embossing magazine! I’m super excited to bring you this month’s Memory Box Nativity Bauble die set.

You can see some fantastic ideas for using the set on pages 10, 42 and 72, and don’t forget to download the co-ordinating papers.
We’ve got some handy technique guides for you once again this issue, starting with a look at magic Distress Ink die-cutting on page 22. This is a fab technique and one I can’t wait to try! This issue’s back to basics guide on page 38 focuses on partial die-cutting, while Cardmaker of the Year winner Amy Wilks shows us how to create fun shaker cards on page 53.
Nesting star dies take centre stage on page 62 as Christine Smith shows us different ways of using them, plus you can learn how to use your stash of thin dies to create embossed effects on page 82.
