The Colour Suite is a brand new monthly colour inspiration challenge by design team member Summer Fullerton starting July 15th on our website! With Summer's extraordinary eye for colour, she will provide you with a beautiful colour palette and inspiration layout to get those creative juices flowing! Be sure to join us for the debut of "The Colour Suite" on July 15th!
Of course, release day would not be complete without...a GIVEAWAY! One of our top 10 most wanted items from this issue is the brand new Presto Punch from Spellbinders and our friends at Spellbinders have offered a Presto Punch and Font punch template for one lucky reader! OH YES THEY HAVE!

Another fantastic issue! I LOVE the 3T's section on titles. I always draw blank when it comes to those, so it's great to get some ideas about terrific titles. :) Thanks for the chance to win this cool Spellbinders tool!

I guess the lockout is really messing with subscription delivery! Great giveaway (as usual)!

I always enjoy the Designers Challenge and also the tips. I still use the original Spellbinders Wizard for my die cutting. I am sure their new Presto Punch is every bit as sturdy and quality made as the original Wizard.

Fantastic summer issue. I like the "easy, detailed, expert" inspirations.
I've been dying to get a presto punch - sent my sister shopping in the States this weekend but don't know if she found one.
