Our design team has been pulling out all the stops this issue to bring you an abundance of papercrafting projects to keep you all inspired.
Stacey Rogers is up first on page 12, using the latest Tim Holtz dies from Sizzix.
If the distressed look isn’t for you, fear not. Sharon Armstrong is embracing fabric and applique on page 37 with an eye-catching array of feminine makes and Su Pennick will have you all enchanted on page 66 with her innovative woodland-themed extravaganza.
As every crafter knows, it’s never too early to start crafting for Christmas. With this in mind, we thought we’d kickstart our Christmas countdown with a plethora of designs and styles to whet your appetite.
Judith Hannington delivers a cute collection of bear-inspired designs on the cover and on page 21, all of which feature patterned papers and elements from the Beary Merry Christmas range from Nitwit Collections. What’s more, the lovely people at Nitwits are offering all our readers a whopping 20 percent of all orders placed before 30th November. Turn to page 23 for full details.
Christmas gifts are the order of the day for Debi Potter on page 44, and Lindsey Hopkins is stamping happy on page 32 with a whimsical collection of Squiggly Ink stamps from Paper Artsy.

When is it coming out?
Hi Have just purchased Issue 26 of Simply Cards and am wanting to buy Cards & Crafts for Christmas which is advertised as coming out on 26th August, I’m hoping I haven’t missed out on this as it looks really good but I can’t find it in any of my local newsagents. Could you please let me know where/if I can purchase it anywhere.
Many thanks
Sylvia
I am opening a giftshop, do you sell birthday cards, wrapping paper etc to retail shop like mine.
I love Judith Hannington for her intrduction to NitWit Collections. I am new to digital crafting but this site is wonderful. The bright colours and the beautiful cute and cuddly characters are just a delight. My problem now is which collections to buy and where to stop. Thank you for a fantastic magazine and keep up the great work.
