This issue we teamed up with the amazing Chloe’s Creative Cards to bring you our super-fun Joy to the World stamps and dies – and of course, we couldn’t be more excited!

We're thrilled to see all of the festive inspiration from our amazing Design Team this month to help me get started.

First up is our amazing Joy to the World inspiration – we’ve got Nicky’s amazing inky creations on page 8 – I’m just in love with her bright colours and fun designs, whilst Katie’s contemporary creations over on page 60 are just perfect for all the family. If off-the-page inspiration is what you’re after, don’t panic! Sarah Jackman Read is on hand to
demonstrate the fun projects you can make using the set (page 30).

As ever we want to push your skills and this issue we have a ton of step-by-step guides to keep you testing you. Find our masterclass on page 42 for advice on using embossing powder in new ways or what about turning to page 38 and letting Tracey Rogers guide you through Spotlight Stamping with her in-depth tutorial? You could even master impressive window cards over on page 77 with Lorraine Lowe’s helpful handy hints and top tips.

Of course, we couldn’t resist sharing sneak peeks of new releases too – turn to page 17 to find the latest flower-forming foam from Crafter’s Companion, flick to page 35 to find festive gnomes from Hunkydory and Secret Garden goodness from Two Red Robins on page 74. But that’s not all – we also spent 10 minutes with Chloe Endean to discover her latest festive releases – turn to page 28 now to read all about it!

We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we did making it. Don't forget to let us know what you've created by adding your cards to the inspiration page.
