Hello and welcome...

… to the Spring issue of Craft Club Magazine. I hope that the New Year and 2023 is treating you well so far. This year we have even more to look forward to as we welcome more brands (some familiar) and exciting products to the Create and Craft family – including Crafts Consortium and Brother.

In the spirit of spring, sustainability and starting afresh, you may notice that many of the projects in this issue are ideal for eco-crafting, upcycling, and making the most of your scrap materials – and you’ll find some great inspiration that can help turn your trash into treasures. We’ve also featured a whole host of wonderful storage options (with exclusive Member discounts) to take your craft space to new heights.

To help you kickstart your spring, Tracey Collett has created a gorgeous set of April shower inspired cards on page 10, whilst Rachel Newsome shares some Mother’s Day crafting ideas for the kids on page 18. Plus, don’t forget to claim your special Member’s gift and print out your exclusive Nancy Watt downloads.

Hop on over to our Easter section starting on page 51 – here you can see how to make beautiful decorations by Lisa Richardson (p52), a sweet felt Easter basket by Hayley Victory (p56), egg-cellent cards by Helen Kirkham (p54), and much more.

I hope you enjoy bringing these projects to life as much as I’ve enjoyed putting them together. Be sure to send over your makes, stories and feedback to editor@hochanda.com
