We love the sounds of the rolling ocean against the shore and all that you can experience by the seaside! This issue’s Seashells by the Seashore Cut & Emboss set is just perfect. We loved it, and we’re sure you will too – it’s the ideal all-occasion set!

Whether it’s makes for men, cards for women, inky creations or even off-the-page pieces you’re wanting to create, we’ve got the perfect inspiration for you.

First up are Nicky’s inventive and inky ideas over on page 9, Sandra Rayner is providing a plethora of home décor creations and keepsakes, whilst over on page 60 Marie Jones has created a striking collection of projects that perfectly demonstrate the set’s versatility.

Of course, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t seek out the latest releases each issue to help inspire you, and so this month we have sneak peeks at a new range from TEXT{ures} (page 18), fabulous forals from Birch Press Design (page 36) and a stunning all-occasion stamp and die set from Stampin’ Up! on page 77.

This issue, we’ve also set about boosting your skills – over on page 42 we have a sophisticated masterclass from Cathy Andronicou, where she used her expert advice to guide you step by step through embossed brushstroke stamping. Turn to page 52 to find a range of top tips to help you embrace faux tie-dye whilst over on page 68, Tracey is on hand to help you master collage stamping in no time!

Ingrid is back with this issue’s Tried & Tested feature where she puts the Eureka 101 3-in-1 tool through its paces – this handy multi-use tool might have just hit the top of my must-buy list!

With all of this, plus the usual competitions, news, shopping and giveaways, I think we’ll leave you to it.

Happy cardmaking!
