We know you’ll be inspired by this bright issue, which reflects the vivid rainbow of colours that we love about the season with a breeze of floral prints and pink hues. The kit is packed with goodies to inspire you and complement your creations.
As always, our designers haven’t failed to impress either. We’ve explored a whole range of techniques and variety of projects so that whether you love card making or are keen to build your crafting repertoire, there will be plenty to inspire you.
We’ve got fantastic papier mache bowls, fantastic party essentials, stunning gift boxes and a hanging mobile, PLUS lots of fantastic card making ideas so you can really impress — you’ll have to let us know what you try.
We’ve made sure we don’t miss any of the trends either. The kit’s freebie felt embellishments and ribbons are perfect for infusing your greetings with a crafty feel that’s right on the mixed-media hype. Or, if you love to upcycle then we’re sure you’ll love our easy envelope revamps and ideas.
