World Card Making Day: Hour Six + GIVEAWAY

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 ... in fact, there might be one happening at the end of this post ;)

“No Place Like Home” card, by Shellye McDaniel.

For this card I wanted to utilize the Designer Tape, but I also wanted a scalloped edge, so I grabbed the decorative edged scissors and set to work. In keeping with the warm, fall feeling of the card, I added the two wooden buttons. No one has to know that there are snowflakes on the other side of that wood button :) A simple zig-zag stitch from my sewing machine completes the cozy and inviting card.

Supplies:
Thankful: Our Spot, Burlap, Cute Cuts, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Ciao Chip Icons; Designer Tape: Pickle Juice Chevron; Button Market: Snowflakes (reverse)

"Happy Thanksgiving” card, by Malika Kelly.

I love the chevron trend right now so I used my Cameo to cut a small chevron pattern to give the background of my card some interest. I dressed up the chipboard house by adding some glossy accents to the windows. The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment was cut from the borders paper, I simply snipped the end to make it like a flag. Then I added another flag from the Thankful collection to finish off my card.

Supplies:
Thankful: Bountiful, Perfect Day, Borders, Chipboard Icons; Flags: Thankful 1

It's giveaway time!!!

We're giving one lucky reader a fabulously fun assortment of our Stick Pin Flags! Here's the catch. This is a be-here-to-win giveaway. Meaning we are only accepting comments for ONE HOUR on this post, at which time we will announce a randomly chosen winner from those comments!

So if you are here reading this post during it's featured hour, you're in luck. If you've scolled down a bit and are just coming up on this post, then sadly, you've missed your chance. Good luck ... and keep your eyes out throughout the day, since we might do this type of giveaway again ;)

ETA: Comments are still open, but they will no longer count towards the giveaway which just ended.

We'll see you back here in an hour for more card shares. If you're making some cards of your own today, we'd love it if you shared them with us on our Facebook page!
