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 ;)
"Just Because" card, by Diane Payne.
The crochet flower are the perfect little embellishment for a card and coordinate so well with all the lines. On this card I layered one on top of a flower chipboard for extra color and dimension.
Supplies:
Hello Beautiful: Borders N' Blocks, Alpha+Bits Stickers; Baby Boy: Cute Cuts; Quattrofina Alpha Stickers: Peep & Saffron; Ciao Chip Elements: Family Words; Designer Tape: Pickle Juice Dot; Button Market: Wood Mix; Crochet Flowers: Juniper, Daisies
"Baby" card, Leanne Allinson.
I love creating simple cards with a formula that I can use for all occasions. We have recently had a new baby girl join our family and I thought "World Card Making Day" would be perfect for creating something to welcome her. The blocks of Bella BLVD patterned paper have been dressed up with a cute ribbon and where there is a celebration, there is confetti! The little bits of pale pink cardstock coordinate beautifully with the pale pink flowers. Now I have something pretty and pink to send in the mail with her gift.
Supplies:
Sophisticates: Sprinkles & Lace Punch; Spring Flings and Easter Things: Borders; Lovey Dovey: Alpha+Bits
