BERNE, Ind. -- DRG, nationally known publisher of special interest magazines, books, catalog items and continuities, announces the release of the July 2009 issue of CardMaker magazine. It includes 78 summer greeting card ideas in an 84-page, full-color publication that retails for $5.99.

CardMaker magazine launched in 2005 in response to a growing trend toward paper crafting and personalized greetings. The magazine appeals to crafters at all experience levels, and every issue offers new projects that are adaptable to a variety of styles and tastes.

The July issue offers instructions for creating birthday cards, holiday greetings, quilled cards and stamped designs. It features a style called inchie art, and includes quick cards, cards with color, summertime celebration cards and humorous cards.
