Call for Submissions: March/April 2011 Issue

Baby Projects in Non-Traditional Palettes

Forget pink and blue. Nix navy and fuchsia. We’re looking for baby projects of all types and varieties (cards, nursery décor, gift bags and tags, gift card holders, paper crafted gifts, creative gift wrap, mini-album covers, etc.) that use color combinations beyond the expected gender-specific colors. Whether classy and elegant, fun and cute, clean and graphic, shabby chic or vintage, we can’t wait to see your out-of-the-cradle approaches to color combinations that exclude all shades of pink and blue.

Wedding

That’s just it. Wedding. We’re looking for cards, gift card holders, gift bags and tags, gift boxes, frames, mini-album covers, shower ensembles, etc. for the happy couple. The sky is the limit, so dig in and rock your style!

Hot Air Balloons

One of the “hot”-test trends around, hot air balloons are taking flight! Please submit your paper crafted projects for Easter, wedding, baby, and other occasions such as birthday, thank you, hello, friendship, sympathy, get well, encouragement, congratulations, etc. in which hot air balloons are a key part of the design. Projects can include but are not limited to cards, gift bags, home décor, mini-album covers, tags, and gift card holders.

March/April Color Play

Create cards, gift bags, tags, mini-album covers, treat containers, etc. that utilize just these 4 colors. We’re looking for Easter projects as well as projects for other occasions such as birthday, thank you, hello, friendship, sympathy, get well soon, encouragement, baby, wedding, congratulations, etc.



Stick as closely as possible to these Bazzill equivalents: Chocolate Cream, French Vanilla, Hazard, and Granny Smith.

March/April Go-to Sketches

Create cards, gift bags, tags, mini-album covers, treat containers, etc. that utilize these fun sketches. We’re looking for Easter projects as well as projects for other occasions such as birthday, thank you, hello, friendship, sympathy, get well soon, encouragement, congratulations, etc. Remember, flowers represent any kind of embellishment.
