splash of colour
to a plain wall (p63).
Wood veneers and buttons
make great card focals
…to this fabulous February issue brimming with
bright ideas
to blow
away the cobwebs! Here at HQ, we’ve made sure that the following
pages offer the best ideas and
crafty goodies
for you to try out. The
cover card designed by Carolyn Letten uses a homespun motif made
from gorgeous

mixed media projects by the talented Jill Alblas using stencils with chalk
paints (p66) and delightful cards decorated using Sharon Bennett’s
unique pen work
(p86).
Our projects will hit the spot and put a smile on the face of a loved one for
Valentine’s
Day,

involve test tubes, so be warned! And the cross-stitch sampler by Helen Philipps is a
The fabric-covered journal is the perfect
money spinner
(p74) for craft fairs and
there's a beginner's guide to
surface embossing
(p32). We chat to Kate Smith about the
success of her craft emporium in Bath, and discover what inspires people to run craft
courses too (p76).
Enjoy the Tool Buddies
papercrafting freebie
– you’ll wonder how you ever managed
without one! Finally, turn to the giveaway pages where there are two
luxury craft tables
up for grabs and goodies from some of your fave brands.
From everyone here at CB, enjoy!

perfect results every time
