This issue’s amazing Botanical Wishes set has us all wishing to be in the craft room, crafting for all of the special ones in our lives. Our Botanical Wishes set doesn’t just come with a stunning stamp set and templates – but we’ve even included a collection of digital patterned papers and toppers too!

Of course, our Design Team were on hand to showcase just how much you can achieve with the set. First up, we’ve got incredible inky creations from Nicky Gilburt on page 9, before Sarah Jackman Read demonstrates just how to take your crafting off the page to create a range of gift ideas on page 30.

Lastly, we asked Marie Jones to combine the set with the digital downloads to showcase the softer side of this issue’s goodies (page 60).

Team SCP has been especially busy this month, cramming as much as possible into the issue – whether it’s our new release sneak peeks from Julie Hickey (page 54) and The Greetery (page 78), or our stunning in-depth guide to basket weaving from Mel Jess on page 38.

We’re also really excited to team up with Sizzix to offer an exclusive Big Shot Switch Plus giveaway (page 75)

But that’s not all – we also share our expert advice and tips for using the machine in this issue’s Tried & Tested feature (page 20) from Ingrid Vichova.

There is still time to enter our annual Cardmaker of the Year competition – so turn to page 26 to discover how to win your share of £21,000 worth of prizes and a place on our Design Team and also have a look here to find out more

With all of this, plus extra amazing competitions from Graphtec and Colorado Craft Company, news, shopping and giveaways, I think we'll leave you to experience it for yourself. Find links for your digital and physical copy, plus downloads, competition and giveaways that go live on the 23rd Feb.

Happy cardmaking!
