Here Be Dragons

...and sheep! At the time of writing  the Six Nations is well under way and St. David’s Day is approaching fast. With Patriotism pounding in Welsh hearts we can announce the timely arrival of some new Pure Welsh decoupage sheets and backing papers.

 Creative Cardmaking

This month, Kirsty Wiseman makes the most of the free ‘Let them eat cake’ paper collection, which features lots of bright colours and bold patterns such as dots, stripes and paisleys, combined with cute cupcake and birthday cake images to help you create great cards suitable for all ages.Also featured is a large array of techniques and styles so there is something to suit all tastes. For instance, Dyan Reaveley teaches us all about grungeboard in the Technique of the Month but if a more off-the-page style is your thing then you’ll absolutely love Judith Hannington’s fruity feature.

With Mother's Day on March 14th the first project in the magazine is a card and tag set designed by Amanda Dray, the simplicity of the design means that it’s suitable for those of you who are new to the craft. Another example of a beautiful Mother’s Day card is a design by Christine Coleman where she has used grid work combined with coloured pencils to form a multitude of hearts. Besides that, there are many more stunning projects, including a design for Easter, a card for St. Patrick’s Day, two oriental themed pieces and not forgetting some lovely lingerie too!
