I’m calling it the “B” issue but you may refer to it as our March/April issue.
It’s filled with all things “B” – Babies, Brides, Birthdays and Balloons.
There is also a “BONUS” section featuring the 2010 World Card Making Day Card Contest winners. (I might be stretching the “B” thing a little too far.)
Click on the cover image to order your copy today!
Here’s a sneak peek at what you have to look forward to in this issue:
Always a Nerd Ensemble (p. 39) by Kim Kesti
I loved this party ensemble the first moment I saw it – so creative and fun. And the gift favors are a hoot! Nice work, Kim! Psst…if you’d like to download the pattern for the party hat, click HERE.
Love Favor Box (p. 46) by Windy Robinson
Seriously! I wish you could all see this favor box in real life. It is GORGEOUS. I want to take it home with me. Windy’s beautiful classy & elegant style lends itself so very nicely to brides and weddings. Don’t you think?
Baby Gift Thank You Card (p. 55) by Lesley Langdon
We challenged our designers to make baby cards without using traditional baby colors. What we got were some amazing and trendy color combinations for baby. This is one of my favorites. The yellow and red plaid elephant is so cute. And I love the polka-dot print. Another job well done!
May Hope Sustain You Card (p. 68) by Rae Barthel
I admit I had my doubts about this section early on. My worries were quickly squelched after seeing the fantastic vintage-y balloon cards everyone made. This card in particular was one of my favs. If I wasn’t so afraid of heights, I might even want to ride this balloon. (*Might being the operative word here.)
I hope I’ve enticed you to see more. There are a lot more where these came from. I didn’t even get to show you the winners from the World Card Making Day section. You can find these designers on our new blog roll and read Jennifer’s big announcement HERE.
Basking in the beautiful book, blissfully unaware! (Now I’ve officially over-used the “B” in this blog!)

I love the balloon card, cannot wait to see where I can get that great Hot air balloon stamp set, LOVE IT. I love the Baby Thank you card the colors are perfect. I am very excited to see the fabulous “B” issue.
Love the birthdays!!! Too cool. That’s what I make the most.
Balloons, balloons, balloons! Mahalo for the op to win.
Just got my issue last night and so far I’m loving the balloons!!! Need to sit down and go thru it more carefully with a hot cup of something.
Just love the B cards!! Being truly scared to death of heights, I can so relate to being in one of those balloons! But, that card is amazing!
I am looking forward to Balloons!
Babies!!! (Mainly because my second pub ever is in that section! LOL!)
I already got my issue in the mail and I loved the non-traditional baby cards…if I win, I’ll give the magazine to my daughter to share the love of card-making.
I am most excited to see the Birthday section. Since that is the type of card I seem to make the most of, I’m always up for inspiration!
I am definitely looking forward to the birthday section. I make the most birthday cards, and I could use some fresh ideas. Looking forward to getting this issue!
Well the pages I have marked up the most are the baby pages….coz we’re gonna have a grand-niece!

always such fabulous inspiration! I’m looking forward to see all the wonderful balloon creations!
Hey, I’m a subscriber so I already have this fab issue, but I sure wouldnt mind winning some of the actual cards. I like the idea of these more unusual challenges to the design team as well as the cardmakers at large and the creative, original pieces they engendered – keep the dialog going both here and on facebook, and keep this good work up. it’s working well.
I’m most excited to see the birthday section – I make a lot of birthday cards and am always looking for inspiration
I am most intrigued by the BALLOONS section! Can’t wait to see it.
Birthdays! Great cards!
I am most excited about seeing the “Birthday” section. As I am getting older my family is growing and growing. That means I am making a lot of birthday card and can always use some good inspiration.
We just had a new baby in our family on Thusday – I’d love to see the babies section!
Birthdays! Way more of this happening in my life than brides and babies; although now that I think of it, I know 3 on the way; so maybe babies after all!
Received my magazine yesterday and haven’t had a chance to sit and consume it yet. I’m really anxious to see the bride section as I’m doing some things for a wedding. You always have such great ideas.
i love balloons. they are so fun & whimsical.
excited to see the BIRTHDAY sections,the cards are adorable!!!
The balloon category sounds very interesting =)
I personally love the Brides category. My daughter is getting married in May, and I need all the help I can get! Thanks!
I love the baby card and the balloons – not being a fan of the cutesy baby cards, I love the idea of the one in the image! Thanks for the opportunity!

Birthdays are always my favorite, but really kind of excited about the balloons too.
Birthday cards – especially masculine cards are my favorite to see
It would have to be a tie between birthdays and balloons. I make birthday cards for my ladies group so I am always looking for new ideas. One of my dreams is to ride in a hotair balloon. We have a balloon classic here and they are so colorful and fun. To be able to capture that on a card is great.
I think my favorite “B” would be the Babies. I don’t need to make a baby card very often at all, so maybe that’s why I enjoy looking at others and thinking about the occasional one I might do.
I would love to win this! I am really interested in the birthday section. I’m always looking for different birthday ideas.
Definitely excited about the babies section….followed closely by the birthday section.
I’m anxious to see the babies section, but always love new birthday card ideas, too!
I am excited to see the BABIES section!!! I have a 2 yr old and a 7 month old, so I need some new ideas!
I would love to see the balloons section, for some reason I’m fasinated with all the balloon craze right now, lol! I’ll have to look for the mag also, I think my subscription ran out (shame on me, lol)!
I love, love the ballons section. I have always wanted to ride in one but am afraid of heights. They are beautiful stamps.
Balloons for sure – love that this is so popular right now. Balloons, bright or vintage, make me smile!
Have not yet received my copy of this issue in the mail:( Can’t wait to see it soon I hope. Love the birthday cards. TFS
I’m looking forward to the Bride section in this issue. My son and future DIL have asked me to help with some announcements! I’m so excited, and need some inspiration …
Birthdays since I always make those kind of cards.
I can’t wait to see all the balloons!
Birthdays for sure!!! Thanks for the chance!
Balloons! So many different occasions these could be used for!
Wow, I love love love the NERD party theme favours! This is so creative and they look fantastic!!!
