Hi there, and I hope you’ve been having a productive crafting month. I feel like I’ve been on a crafty whirlwind lately! It’s been a busy time making new baby cards for friends, family anniversary celebrations and a few birthdays too. But getting busy making cards and gifts is no bad thing of course, and I’ve been loving crafting heaps of personal greetings, lots of them using ideas and inspiration from You Can Craft! projects. My crafty passion lately is using the epoxy stickers in this month’s kit – they make a great focal point for a card, adding texture and interest. I’m sure you’ll love them too.

I’ve found time to plan my summer hols as well though. Our super sunny-style projects that shout “summer’s here!”, are a perfect inspiration. I’ll be carrying on with more irresistible makes while on my break, then I’ll get on with some homely projects. I’m loving the Oriental trend that we’ve captured in our silk kimono styled cards.
