This month's 100-page issue of Papercraft Essentials is a celebration of having 200 issues of Britain’s best-selling papercrafting title! Throughout we look back at Papercraft Essentials’ 200 issues as well catch-up with Editor’s past & present.

So we’ve made it, 200 issues of Papercraft Essentials – WOW! And this edition is a celebration like no other, with more chances for you to win, save money and become more inspired than ever before.

A milestone event in life is nothing without looking back at how far you’ve come, and this issue is no different. We take a look back at some of the key moments and people, past and present, who have shaped Papercraft Essentials to become Britain’s best-selling papercraft magazine, as well as helping it become internationally known in over 20 countries; without these individuals, this title wouldn’t be where it is today!

This issue’s kit, we wanted to bring you something super special, so we’ve added a trio of shaker domes, so you can create your own celebration projects inspired by the legendary makes in our Using Your Kit section, a must if you’re looking for landmark cards, wanting to learn how master tunnel cards and 3D celebration gift boxes with a difference.

We also caught up with the queen of sparkle Chloe Endean about her brand history and what she’s been up to during lockdown to keep you crafters sane; she’s also given all of you a 15% site-wide discount. Lisa Horton has given us a triple AAA pass to her brand, as we go behind the scenes at her HQ, find out about her typical day, as well as getting to know her on a more personal level.

Talking personally, Papercraft Essentials has been in my life for just over four years now, since I began sourcing all the competitions and giveaways and writing some of the pages as the Editorial Assistant for the papercraft titles. Now, I’m here as the Editor bringing you the 200th birthday issue, it’s a complete honour to have compiled this edition, and I hope you have as much fun reading and crafting alongside it as much as the team and I have had organising it, as well as creating the projects.

So whether this is your first ever issue, your regular monthly purchase/subscription or you’ve been with us since day one, we thank you for your support, this is for you!
