Hello, Paper Crafts readers!
Guess what?
Our May/June 2011 issue is officially on newsstands and let me tell you, this is one you don’t want to miss!
This issue features creative projects for:
- Moms
- Dads
- Grads
- Teachers
- & Much More
Thanks to Nancy McKinney, Vanessa Menhorn and Tammy Moore for gracing our cover with their projects!
Here are a few of the highlights:
In our Paper Crafts 101 column, Go-to Gal Betsy Veldman shows us how to use die cuts, punches, and border stickers in fun, unique ways (see card below). Let’s face it…most of us have an abundance of these in our craft arsenal! I love being able to justify my purchase of higher ticket items!

Happy Birthday Roses Card, p. 31
Making cards for the man of your life will get easier with the amazing ideas presented in our Make it Masculine feature. I love that the industry is catering a bit more to the men in our lives with fun, masculine products. Check out Maureen Merritt’s card:

You Mean the World to Me Card, p. 65
And don’t miss our special Mother’s Day feature! I’m certainly inspired by these beautifully crafted and sometimes whimsical cards and gift wraps. Like this one by Anabelle O’Malley:

Petite Purse Gift Bag, p. 45
All-in-all there’s something in this issue for everyone! Speaking of a little something…
