This month's 84-page issue of Simply Cards & Papercraft gives you plenty of tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration from TEXT{ures} and Waffle Flower amongst others. This issue comes complete with an exclusive Peach Pearfection stamp set and die set plus co-ordinating downloads.

The Peach Pearfection goodies are ideal for a wide range of occasions and with the nod to florals, birthday cards for women will be a doddle. The Design Team have been busy crafting with the set and you'll find inventive uses for the die set from Nicky Gilburt, as well as contemporary creations from Katie Skilton and coloured creations from Sue Hastead.

As usual we're also bringing you a plethora new release inspiration too – we've got the stunning Mariposa collection from Lou Collins own brand TEXT{ures} and strikingly elegant floral designs from Waffle Flower. We've also got a product focus with Pearlywinks where we shine the spotlight on a stunning bee-themed stamp set.

We've also got a rather exciting Tried & Tested feature from Ingrid Vichova where she's blown our mind by using the Cricut EasyPress 2 machine to create cards – I know! We couldn't believe it either - turn to page 20 of the magazine to see just how she did it.
