Good morning and thank you so much joining us today! It has been an exciting few months putting together our summer issue and I'm sure you'll agree that it is filled with seasonal inspiration, brand new products, not to mention tips, tricks and techniques! Our team of designers and contributors have truly outdone themselves. We have so much to share today so go grab a cup of coffee, a tea or my personal favourite a latte and get comfortable!
First, here is our summer issue that you can view online OR you can download to your smartphone, iPad, Playbook, etc...for FREE!
Download HERE
And if you are looking for even more inspiration, did you know that we have added many project sheets to our website that you can download from some of your favourite manufacturers? Just click right HERE. (pssst...there is a giveaway in one of them! Here's a clue ~ check out who our featured designer is HERE!)
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!
"Presto Punch™, the first automatic Punch and Embossing Machine! Presto Punch offers the easiest, most convenient solution for paper punching. Its innovative design and one touch operation virtually eliminates the need for a multitude of bulky, space-consuming punches. With Presto Punch, you can cut and emboss effortlessly and store more than 30 punch designs in the space of just one standard punch."
The Presto Punch is brand new and just starting to ship so you will be one of the first of all your friends to have one! And of course, we would be remiss if we didn't offer a one year subscription to our lucky winner as well! Just leave a comment below telling us what you really liked in the summer issue before Thursday, July 7th at 6:00 p.m. EST for your chance to win this amazing prize. Good luck!
