There are a lot of paper crafting magazines that bear the Paper Crafts brand. From regular issues to so many special issues I’m not sure I could even list them all, there are A LOT.

One of our best known series of special issues is Card Creations – we just released Volume 8 last May. I won’t forget the timing EVER, because that issue was being created at the exact same time as our newest anthology – The Best of Card Creations. Hmmm, let’s put together our flagship special issue right as we’re compiling over 500 projects from previous issues of Card Creations. Yeah, that’s a GREAT idea! Let’s just say we were on Card Creations overload during those months.

Enter Matt Anderson, our Lone Design Man, who took over The Best of Card Creations and blended photography, design, fonts, and information from 6 different issues over 4 years to make this collection really shine. He worked his magic, and handed back a finished product that makes us so very proud!

Since we were working on two issues simultaneously, we had the opportunity to highlight 24 cards from Card Creations, Vol. 8 in The Best of Card Creations instead. That means you get never-seen-before projects in this one-of-a-kind book! Congrats to these talented designers whose cards were selected:

And…you know me. I love to give stuff away, so there will probably be a giveaway as soon as we have final copies here in our hot little hands. Don’t stray very far – you never know WHEN it will happen!
