May 2008 issue
Craft techniques are in abundance this issue with punching, folding, stamping, distressing, layering, tearing and stitching just a few of the many for you to choose from. A lot of cardmakers often tell me that they get stuck in a rut with techniques and end up using the same ones over and over again. With so many techniques featured in this issue why not challenge yourself this month to make at least three cards with techniques that you rarely use?
This issue features lots of designs that will suit cards for all sorts of different occasions. Inside are cards to celebrate a new baby, designs that offer the recipient lots of inspiration, a 3D shop front perfect for a handbag addict, light hearted humorous designs for keen gardeners and lots more.
If you're one of the many crafters who frustratingly find it difficult to make neat and tidy cuts then check out the hints and tips on page 59. Lindsay Mason looks at basic cutting tools and techniques to help you make clean cuts that will produce a very professional finish. Lindsay offers you lots of great advice and in not time at all I'm sure you'll have mastered the art of clean cutting! To give yourself a head start check out the giveaways on page 22 where there's a chance for you to win an X-Cut guillotine!
Happy cardmaking, see you next month!
