It’s that funny time of year where we’re enjoying the last of the summer months, yet looking forward to the comfort which the autumnal season brings.
And with Christmas still a few months away, we have the luxury of some carefree crafting — building our stash up with some year-round makes and making a start on our festive greetings.
To kickstart your crafty projects, issue 74 of PaperCrafter has all you need — with a fantastic kit to inspire you
We hope you love your copy of PaperCrafter issue 74! It’s just the thing to get you in the mood for making, with so many elements in the kit to get stuck in to! We’re loving the trend for adorable critters — you’ll find a cute polar bear family, sweet Arctic hare, and beautiful dove motifs for your makes.
The issue 74 kit is sure to get you in the mood for the wintry months, but it’s not all just Christmas hype! As we’re still a few months off, you’ll find lots of non-festive projects to try with your kit. As well as a contemporary book of designer papers, you’ll love using your MDF ‘Love’ sign — we can’t wait to see what you’ll do with yours.
You’ll find lots of other goodies to complement your paper creations — including foil squares, BONUS embossing board, die-cut motifs, pop-out letters, decoupage paper and so much more.
We’ve also got a range of techniques for you to try. Make retro-inspired honeycomb decs, try a stunning shadow box, and re-create Susan Niner Janes’ inspiring gift boxes — you won’t be able to resist the sweet treasure chests.
Not only do we have a wide range of projects from the talented PaperCrafter designers, but we also bring you the latest in paper crafting trends and technology so you’ll never be out of the loop.
In issue 74 Craft Asylum designer Debi Potter tells us all about her love for crafting — she’s the face behind the wonderful projects from Craft Asylum, and she’s thought up some lovely ideas to dress your table for autumn.
We bring you top tips for crafting those masculine makes, and also for giving your crafty space a spot of TLC — just the thing to prepare us before we start prepping for the Christmas countdown.
We’re giving you the chance to practise and perfect your decoupage. If you fancy starting early on your Christmas makes, we’ve also got lots of ideas for you, with a spectacular showcase from Tracey Daykin-Jones.
