1. Ella's picks
With Love by Colette Smith from issue 69 "I really love the smart lines of this card and Colette’s coupling of Rachel Cave’s retro graphics with Heather Warren’s fab paper design"
2.
Rosette Card by Elizabeth Moad from issue 68 "I think this greeting is stunning! Kit designer Bethan Janine really packs a punch with the paper’s purple hues and paisley-style design which makes a great impact. I also like the central tea-bag fold central motif. Great stuff!"
3. Elaine's picks
Rocker Card by Corinne Bradd from issue 63 "Alice Potter's cheeky seagull illustrations remind me of my student days in Brighton and I love the shape of Corinne's rocker card"
4.
Doily Wreath by Colette Smith from issue 64 "Like many crafters, most of my cardmaking is done at Christmas. This sweet circular design is a nice mix of trendy elements, like the baker's twine and doily, with sophisticated, classic colours"
5. Jennifer's picks
Tree and Baubles by Colette Smith from issue 66 "It's easy to see why this card was our cover star in issue 66. I was really taken by the composition of this card and like to apply it to my makes all year round when I'm making some simple cards for my stash"
6.
House Stepper by Tracey Daykin-Jones from issue 67 "I love this sweet house design. Lots of my friends have been moving house recently and so it's come in handy, plus the easy stepper technique never fails to impress" Which card is your favourite? Let us know in the comments!
