July ~ Elements of Summer

What images run through you mind when you think of summer? Does it remind you it's family vacation time, picnics or camping? Do you think of those sweet summer outdoor parties or the over-abundant blooms everywhere?

This month the design team has created projects based on what reminds them most of summer. Projects include a 3D summer basket bucket list, a 3D camping project and lots of beautiful floral images and a mouth-watering picnic idea.

Here are a few sneak peeks of what's in store:

May 2014 ~ Thrice In Design

We've put together a fun yet challenging Sampler together for May.  This month offers three times more flair than the previous issue. 

The request this month varied from holiday and seasonal issues we've had in the past.  Our May issue, "Thrice In Design", takes a whack at design projects with trio's, three's and third's in mind.  Each project simply had to contain "3" of something, be it images, layers or shapes.

Once again the design team pulled through and the creativity of each project shows.  

This month's template is also designed with the trio concept in mind; the Pocketed Triptych .  Check below for images of what's inside this month's issue:

April 2014 ~ Fabulous Florals

Gardens are coming to life.  Budding trees and perennials will soon fill our homes with bursts of color and fragrance.  If your garden hasn’t awaken quite yet, try decorating with a few paper beauties.

The April issue of the Paper Crafter Sampler, “Fabulous Floral”, issue shares an array of ideas for beautifying your home with flowers until your outdoor garden is in full bloom.  All projects in this issue are focused around a floral theme.  You’ll find cheery and feminine crepe paper poppies, pop-up flower box cards and several lovely cards with flowers popping off the front.

This month’s template is a “Strawberry Pot”.  A little table top container for stuffing with faux strawberries or flowers.

 Here's a peek of projects inside the April issue:

March 2014 ~ Rejoice in Easter

  

Celebrate the Easter season with the March 2014 Sampler, "Rejoice in Easter".  This Easter issue offers project ideas for a memorable Easter season.  The projects this month are 'eggcellent.  Inside you'll find Easter-themed greeting cards, a mini spring flip-flop album, an elegant Easter daffodil suite to stuff with goodies and much more.

This months template is the Bunny Weather vane.  A great idea for your Easter table centerpiece.

February ~ Starburst Melange

There are just a few more weeks of winter.  How about a few rays of faux sun beams to get you thinking of the warmer weather ahead?

Our February issue, Starburst Mélange, contains projects with beams radiating from a central point, similar to the sun.  The design team found this theme to be especially challenging, and yet each has come through with such varying designs.  Their projects will open your eyes to the possibilities of designing with starburst.

January ~ Venetian Valentine

Time to release the 5th year of the Paper Crafters Sampler.  Once again we start the first issue by preparing for upcoming Valentine's Day.  We've made a few changes this time around by avoiding the most common color associated with Valentine's Day, red.

Inside the January issue, Venetian Valentine, you'll find soft and subdued colors, fancy flourishes, embossed surfaces and splashes of gold.  Tres le femme! The template of the month is the Fliptop Heart Trinket Box.
