We’ve teamed up with popular die-cutting brand Memory Box to bring you this month’s
versatile Springtime Butterflies die set. It’s suitable for a wide range of occasions and
themes, and to start you off you’ll find some inspiring ideas inside the magazine. Plus you can download the co-ordinating papers and toppers below!

We’ve got some fantastic techniques for you to try this issue, starting with a guide to
creating stained-glass glitter backgrounds. We go back to basics and show you how to use nesting dies to create frames, plus you’ll find some stunning tulle window cards that I cannot wait to try for myself! There’s a guide to inking your die-cuts for impressive results, plus you’re going to love the bookmark card ideas too.

As usual we showcase the latest products from your favourite die-cutting brands,
including Spellbinders, The Ton, Altenew, The Greetery and Xcut. If you’re looking for inspiration for cute Easter makes look no further than Mel Jess’s off-the-page projects on page 24 – they’re perfect for this year’s Easter egg hunts and young children will absolutely love them!

There’s still time to enter the fantastic Cardmaker of the Year competition. Turn to
page 34 of the magazine to find out how – you could win a share of over £24,000 worth of incredible craft prizes from our kind sponsors PLUS a spot on our Design Team and a money-can’t-buy experience day at Practical Publishing HQ. We’ve had a handful of entries in already and can’t wait to see them all – good luck everyone!
