It may be drizzly outside, but luckily our Februay issue's bringing a spot of sunshine to the month, and you'll find it in shops across the country now!

A quirk of the calendar means that you’re going to need a tonne of inspiration for both Valentines and Mother’s Day all in one issue, so we’ve come up with the perfect 2-in-1 free kit specially designed to cope with both big days. There’s exclusive heart ribbons for your beloved (in our last survey, we discovered that on average you were making four Valentines cards each, so we know you need lots of ideas!), and then there’s gorgeous floral ribbons and stickers to help you show your mum how much you care.

Once you've finished playing with your free gift, we've got lots of lovely card making projects to keep you busy too! Add felt hot water bottles to your cards, try our 3D valentines ideas or making your own embellishments with liquid Fimo, then take our hand stitching masterclass and delve into our '10 ways with envelopes' feature!
