Welcome to the latest issue of Papercraft Essentials. This issue, we are bringing you an 8x8” Christmas Markets instant cardmaking kit – the images are so realistic and really put you in the mindset of the fabulous Christmas Markets that we have each year! I know you are going to love this kit and everything that you can create with it. The kit allows you to make Christmas cards instantly, or build up découpage designs using the die-cut toppers in the kit. It truly makes some beautiful designs, as you’ll see throughout the magazine.

The Design Team has created 16 wonderful projects for you to try your hand at, starting with some scenic cards from Glynis Bakewell. Then, Amy Wilks shows us how to make fun cards for kids using the kit! Emma Smith shows us that the kit is perfect for those 3D projects – the templates she has used are available to download from CraftWorld now! Vanessa Hodgson has made clean & simple cards that show off the kit and are ideal for those fast festive makes!

We have also got some ideas to make your stash go even further, such as a beginner’s guide from Sarah Jackman Read on how to use your nesting dies to create stencils and masks. Katie Skilton shares her ways of making your buttons go further and Nicky Gilburt shows us how to get the sparkled glass technique on projects. Plus, we have new products from CraftStash and StickerKitten.

This issue is jam-packed with ideas and inspiration and I know you’ll be itching to get started with your crafting, so I shall leave you to it – don’t forget to share your makes with me!

Until next time,
Happy Crafting
