This issue we teamed up with the incredible Pinkfresh Studio to bring your our stunning Snowflake Sparkle stamps & die set. This striking set is one not to be missed and can take your crafting from Christmas into winter birthdays too.

As ever our Design Team are on hand to help inspire you and get your crafting right away. First up we’ve got Nicky Gilburt over on page 8 who’s focusing on stepping up your skills and encouraging you to get inky with the set.

Whilst over on page 60, Sarah Jackman Read has shared her stunning off-the-page inspiration and we’re sure you’re going to love it!

Brand-new releases this issue come from Crafter’s Companion (page 17) where these fabulous multi-craft dies are perfect for creating a wide-range of projects, including trying your hand at simple softcraft projects too.

Turn to page 38 where you’ll find Phill Martin’s latest releases along with a sneak peek behind the scenes at Sentimentally Yours.

This month’s masterclass sees Claire Rhodes-Brandon encouraging you to achieve various effects by colouring your embossing (page 42).

Long-time readers of SCP will be familiar with Bev Brown from Uniko – normally known for sharing her fabulous digital stamps with our readers, this issue we thought we’d take a little time to find out more about Uniko as it approaches its 12th birthday – so turn to page 70 to read all about Bev!

We’ve of course also got our monthly sketch challenge inspiration and template to share (page 68) an in-depth guide to wreath making (page 28) and a wide range of top tips and advice from our crafting experts.

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

Happy crafting!
