Welcome to our World Card Making Day celebration! Today is all about card making, sharing, and inspiration. There's just something special about giving and receiving a handmade card, whether for a holiday, special occasion, or "just because". We hope you'll hang out with us all day long, as we share new cards every hour for fourteen hours straight. There might even be a few giveaways mixed into the day, so keep your eye out for them ;)
“Celebrate” card, by Carina Lindholm.
For this card I used the Birthday Boy collection. I started out by making a tag from a strip of striped paper. I adhered the tag to the card base using green and orange designers tape. I used this adorable chipboard frog holding a cupcake flag as my focal point. I also adhered a few word stickers at the top of the card.
Supplies:
Birthday Boy: Borders, Alpha+bits, Chipboard Icons, Birthday Boy Flag 2; Designer Tape: Orange Stripe, Pickle Juice Chevron
“Happy Birthday” card, by Jennifer Chapin.
Birthday Boy is such a great line to create birthday cards with! My starting point for this card was the Happy Birthday banner cutout from the Cute Cuts sheet of paper. From there I added a cupcake, some designer tape and a flag to finish the card. I love adding machine stitching to my cards as well, it gives such a nice textured look!
Supplies:
Birthday Boy: About a Boy, Toadilly Cool, Cute Cuts; Sophisticates: Card Sentiments Stickers; Flags: Birthday; Button Market: Orange Stars Buttons; Designer Tape: Pickle Juice
