Is there a specific size for the square savory card recipe? Thanks

“Recipe #1 is a Classic Card measuring 3 ¼ x 5 ½” ?
I would have thought a Classic Card would this be 4 1/4″ instead of 3 1/4″? Is 3 1/4″ correct?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi All! A few of you have commented on the Nov/Dec JOCM dimensions for Recipe #1. It was originally posted as 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. It should be 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. I have since corrected the call posted here, but in case any of you are reading an earlier version, please make note of the new dimensions. Thanks! ~Kelly
P.S. And there are no exact dimensions for Recipe #2. It just needs to be in the shape of a square.

Hi, I love your new blog! Just found it on the SIStv chat. I will definitely start making some christmas cards ASAP (although it does feel a bit weird at this time of year:)

Hi ladies – happy Friday. Submission question: If we submitted Christmas creations for the recent call for cards, etc., and have not heard anything back yet, so should we assume our card(S) haven’t been accepted? I can’t find the link with info now, but I think I remember 4/3 being the notification deadline? I’m trying to guage if I should still be hopeful or disappointed but optmisitc about future ones.
Thanks!

Where in the world do you find the current calls anyway? I am confused as to where I need to look. If anyone could provide information, I would be very appreciative.
Many Blessings~~~ Danielle

The best present I have ever received was a package of papercrafting materials that my husband hand-picked for me. He chose paper, ribbon and brads and the owner of the scrapbooking shop said it was the first time a man had hand-picked all the presents himself. Usually they opt for a voucher or get help with what to buy. But not Michael. I was very touched and impressed with his choices.

I was getting ready to submit my card with Sketch #2 and I realized I’d copied down the wrong deadline – I had 6/5 instead of 6/1. I still wanted to send it in for consideration though, perhaps for a different issue instead, so I went ahead. Hope that’s ok.

Possibly silly question, but for the Survivor challenge, does a stamp set count. I didn’t think so but noticed the brads and rhinestones were plural, so thought I’d ask and make sure.
Thanks!

Yay! I got to play in the recent call for submissions. Now it’s the waiting game
. I can’t wait to see all the winners in the upcoming issues. Good luck to us all.

HMMMM…..My best Gift I ever opened????? I would have to say I was 15 years old and right after Thanksgiving my mom fell and broke “BOTH” her wrists. Neddless to say in those days she was in castes up to her shoulders. For Christmas she had her best friend wrap all our gifts, come Christmas morning I was given a big box that made a lot of noise. I opened the box and found a brick and yet another box….I opened the next box and found a bunch of pecans and yet another box…..when I opened the last box it had my very first diamond ring. The ring was small and only had a single stone in it but it was the best think in the world to me…..as a result of that Christmas this past year I passed that ring in the same fashion onto my daughter….I hope this tradition continues…..

Is the notification date for the Stamp It! cards still 9/15? Or was it pushed out to later? Just checking. Thanks.

I was looking for a magazine called Stamp It, but I don’t see it available.

The submission site keeps kicking me off so that I can’t actually submit anything. I’ve sent an email inquiry to find out how else I can submit my cards. Anyone else having this issue?

My son turned 25 yesterday and I realized that I’ll be turning 50 this year too. Honestly, that just never dawned on me that we were a quarter of a century apart. Very weird.
Anyway, just bought a Cricut Create and am totally pumped to start making some awesome cards. Just haven’t figured it out yet!

Hi,
I just discovered the “Stamp It! Cards” issue, and then about a week later found the Paper crafts magazine: both are spectacular magazines!! Great cards, great photography, great layouts, and great ideas! I especially love the Color Play article on pg. 32 & 33 of “Paper crafts” I used the combo shown and loved how the card turned out!
Now I just have to go and find the “Go to Sketches” and I’ll be set:) I’m going to have to subscribe to “Paper Crafts”; you’ve got me adicted!!
