CD containing more than 120 craft papers suitable for making cards for men!

other miscellaneous imagery! We can’t wait to see the cards you make! Should you require
inspiration Pauline Bird has made some examples you might like - turn to page 66 to see!
Stunning Scenes, the free craft papers provided back in September last year proved so
popular we’ve decided to bring you more of these beautiful illustrations. Perfect for cards
for Father’s Day or male birthdays this collection showcases some of Britain’s most
beautiful scenery. Your second set; Up, Up and Away is right on trend with the stunning
watercolour illustrations of pretty hot air balloons!
Elsewhere in the magazine we’ve fantastic projects by all your favourite contributors as well
as introducing not one but two new contributors who bring with them new styles, welcome
Mark Gould and Jenny Marples. Mark loves using paints to create mixed media projects -
a very popular technique at present and Jenny is a design team leader and educator for
