Being a papercraft fan it's time I shared some hints for getting your creative juice flowing!

• Let it all out in a frenzy - using good quality plain card stock (12 x 12) is perfect for this, take your favourite patterned stamp and make respetitive images again and again. You can add colours or washes, let them dry and you've made your own inspirational background card - store it well - its unique!

• Use special occasions and celebrations as the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and family. Remember you can never send too many cards - its so heart warming to get something in the post other than bills.  You've still got time for Easter.

• Grab a good book - something like Cards for Lads and Dads (David & Charles) which gives you simple card ideas for the men in your life. Check out book reviews in your favourite papercrafting magazines.

Happy Crafting!
