Aug/Sept Call is up!


Do you have a love for coloring in your crafting?  Then check out our call for our Aug/Sept issue!


Sketch



In every issue, we provide a sketch for you to have fun and play around with!  Remember, just b/c you see squares and other elements does not mean you have to copy them completely.  Have fun and come up with your own design based on this sketch!

Color Watch
Tangerine Tango is the color of the year according to Patone.  We want to see your amazing tangerine/orange creations!  Your project does not need to be monochromatic but tangerine/orange needs to be prominent. 

Trending Mark 
Fabric isn’t just for sewing you know.  You can add it to all kinds of fun crafts!  We want to see how you can incorporate fabric into your projects.

Critter Cards
From an adorable deer to a spunky squirrel, we would love see your critter cards!  Incorporate a critter somewhere on your project; it could be the image you color or cute critter paper.  It’s up to you how you show off your critters! 

School Days
The mark of summer’s end is when the kiddos go back to school.  You start to see the school bus in the morning drive, the laughter of children during the midday is no longer and the air gets a little cooler.  We would love to see you show off your Back To School Style!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
It’s so hard to say goodbye, but with a cute card it might make that goodbye just a little bit better.  Show us your gorgeous goodbye/farewell cards.

Have something to Say?
We want to hear from YOU!  Dear DTC is a column that is for our readers.  You can ask anything that you have always wanted to know.  From what goes into making an issue to how a coloring technique is done.  You can even just drop us a line to let us know how great we are doing!

Inspired By DTC
Have you seen a project in our previous issues that totally screamed MAKE ME!?  We want to see how DTC has inspired you!  Submit your projects along with a description (page number, project title, artist) and you just might see your very own project in our next issue!  Now you can inspire others as well!

Coloring Medium
We are looking for it all - Copics, Promarkers, Water Colors, Pencils, Distress Inks, Bic Markers, Stampin' Up markers, crayons, etc.!!!! This is the open portion of our call, didn't make something for one of the categories above, no worries, you can submit it here, just tell us what you used. 


Don't forget to check out the Calls page for more info on how to submit!

I'm so sad that this call slipped my mind and now it's over! If you happen to want another critter card option, pls let
Me know Carisa and I'll send you a link of mine (pretty please!). :)

Hi Rinne, I saw your email just now and unfortunately this magazine is already in production so pictures have already been taken. I LOVE your cards though and maybe you can take a look at our current call to see if any of them would fit those categories? Or maybe you can create some cards for that since it is open for another 2 weeks yet! Thanks so much for your passion AND talent!!! :D
