In issue 150 we are joining forces with our very own Sam Calcott to bring you a Made To Surprise stamp set. It might still be summer but we’re counting the days until our favourite coffee shops bring out their spiced autumnal drinks – from which was born this theme of sweet treats, with lovely seasonal motifs too! As usual we have a smorgasbord of tempting inspiration for you, starting with dimensional cards to stand out from the crowd. Create shaped cards inspired by the stamps with our clever ideas, or try some masculine makes for all occasions using the paper downloads. You’ll find brilliant boxes and more with our off-the-page makes. We’re bringing back découpage with Helen Hall’s layered makes or if it’s clean and simple inspiration that you want, we have stunning elegant ideas. Get inky with this issue’s masterclass, creating stunning galaxy backgrounds for your stamps. We take a look at blending brush techniques too, plus shaped-edge cards to try using your stash. You’ll find stunning new releases and inspiration from Alex Syberia Designs, Crafter’s Companion, Polkadoodles and more, plus the very latest from Sam Calcott herself.
