It’s that time again – time for a brand new issue of PaperCrafter magazine! Issue 85 is out in shops today, and it’s not one to miss. It’s full of fun projects for every occasion, including over 150 fab card ideas, tips and tricks. And if you love free crafty stuff (who doesn’t?), you’ll want to get involved in our bumper giveaways, where we have more than £2000 worth of prizes up for grabs.
As always, we have a fabulous free gift for you – a portable cut ‘n’ craft mat! This cute pink cutting mat is just what you need for crafting on the go. One side has a handy measuring grid and the other useful trace-able circle motifs. And if that’s not enough, the magazine also comes with an art therapy colouring book featuring 15 fab designs, PLUS six gorgeous pull-out papers, designed by the talented Paula Pascual. You’ll find a host of ideas from Paula on how to use the designs on p43.
There’s something for all levels of crafter this issue, from an easy three-step card to more advanced techniques. Enjoy our masterclasses and handy guides on gold leaf, paper honeycomb, resists and more. We also test out two of the hottest new craft machines on the market – the TODO from Create and Craft and Cricut’s Explore Air.
If you’re a Project Life fan, check out our interview with its creator Becky Higgins on p98. And if you’re strapped for cash this month, our Stash Busters set of projects is just for you. We also hope you’ll enjoy this simple Frozen card – and maybe you’ll like it even more when you find out we’ve got £500 worth of crafty Frozen prizes from The Range to give away (p19)!
Enjoy! Make sure to send us pictures of your makes on Facebook and Twitter. PaperCrafter issue 85 is on sale 31st July - 27th August 2015
